Facts Official re-issue of the debut release from Swedish death metal legends At the Gates. Originally released in 1991 via Dolores Records, the EP showcased four tracks from a band that would go on to define the melodic Swedish death metal sound with their landmark 'Slaughter Of The Soul' album five years later.

Following the passing of their iconic frontman Lindberg in 2025, At the Gates released their final album 'The Ghost Of A Future Dead' in 2026.
