At The Gates Gives Update on Frontman, New Album
At The Gates has issued a statement about the band's silence and an update on frontman Tomas Lindberg's battle with mouth cancer.
We want to take a moment to update you on what’s been happening with At the Gates, and to do so, we need to take you back about a year and a half. Below, you’ll find a message from Tomas, written this past March 2025, where he reflects on the past 15 months and the reasons for the radio silence.
However, in early May, Tomas experienced a health setback. Since then, he has been hospitalised and has been receiving dedicated care in a specialized ward where he is being closely monitored around the clock. While this is a challenging time, we’re staying positive but, even in a best-case-scenario we know the recovery will take a long time.
We kindly ask that you respect Tomas’ and his family’s privacy during this period. We know how much the band and the music mean to him — Tomas is incredibly proud of the new At the Gates album we've been working on, and we will try to get you more details on this upcoming release very soon.
Thank you for your ongoing support, patience, and understanding.
