From At War with Reality (2014). At War with Reality is the fifth studio album and major label debut by Swedish melodic death metal band At the Gates, released on 27 October 2014 for Europe and 28 October 2014 for the USA. It is the band's first album since Slaughter of the Soul (1995), marking the longest gap between two studio albums in their career. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Peavey 5150, the rig we use for At the Gates' other songs from At War with Reality, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
