At The Gates Releasing 3-DVD Set

Swedish melodic death metal pioneers At The Gates will be releasing a 3-DVD set, The Flames of the End, in the spring.

The band released their definitive album, Slaughter of the Soul, in 1995, before abruptly disbanding. Various bandmembers joined groups like The Haunted, Disfear, and The Crown before reforming At The Gates for a one-time-only 2008 tour.

The Flames of the End will come in a deluxe six-panel digipak with a 40-page booklet, and will include the following:

Disc 1: 'Under A Serpent Sun - The Story of At The Gates' - a brand new documentary with a running time of over 2 hours, detailing the band's entire career with exclusive interviews and footage, filmed and directed by guitarist Anders Bjorler.

Disc 2: 'Purgatory Unleashed - Live at Wacken' - a 75-minute live set from the band's reunion set at the Wacken festival in 2008 in front of 100,000 people.

Disc 3: 'Only the Dead Are Smiling' - 26 rare and archive live performances of the band playing in locations around the globe from 1991 - 2008.


Here's a trailer/commercial for the set, which admittedly seems kinda awesome...
