Seems like everyone feels like reliving the glory days. First the At The Gates rationale for getting back together,

“Well, it felt like the timing was right for once. We have been talking about a possible
reunion for years now, but this was the first time everything fell into place.
For me personally, it feels like getting closure. The break-up over ten years ago
was abrupt and left a bad vibe between us that took years to get over.
We have a better relationship today and a more relaxed approach to
who we are and what we do. The time is right to get together and play some shows
Try to catch us live in the summer 2008. It could be your last chance”

That quote is from At The Gates guitarist Anders late last year. Many metalhead boners popped yesterday, when they announced that they will be playing Irving Plaza in NYC on July 10th, with tickets going on sale Friday March 7th. The Swedish metal pioneers haven’t played in the states since 96. (At the fucking wetlands! anyone remember that joint?) On a side note, Singer Tomas’ excellent crusty hardcore band Disfear will also be stateside in April.

Now onto crusty punk/metal crossover legends Amebix getting back together. Why you ask?

“My thinking was this, if its no good we will be honest and appraise it accordingly, no-one will ever need to know, and at least we had a shot.However,it was absolutely fucking MAD! ten times better than the original versions,tighter,heavier,stronger. So what the hell to do?we are going to use this footage and tracks for extras on the DVD.” [His punctuation - Ed.]

Straight from Rob Miller’s blog mouth. No shows yet, just more fodder for their DVD that is slated to come out.
