Swedish death metal band At The Gates will celebrate their beloved 1995 studio album Slaughter of the Soul on tour this summer.

Announced today, the tour kicks off on August 17 at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, and it’ll conclude with a performance at Irving Plaza in New York City on August 30. On the whole trek, Municipal Waste will join as a support act. From August 17 through August 19, Thrown Into Exile will hop on the trek. Enforced will replace them as the opening act from August 22 through August 30.

The band said this about the forthcoming trek:

“At the Gates will embark on a special anniversary "Slaughter of the Soul" tour this summer in the US and Canada.

Originally planned for the 25-year anniversary of SOTS in 2020, the covid-19 situation made us postpone this tour until 2022.

Finally, we can present these new dates set for august 2022. At the Gates will play the whole SOTS album from start to finish, and also a mix of other tracks from their 30+ year career.

We have been looking forward to return to the US for several years now, and with a great tour package together with Municipal Waste, Enforced & Thrown Into Exile, it is finally time. See you in the pit!”

Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets will go on sale to the general public this Friday (April 29) at 10 a.m. local time.

Released on Earache Records, Slaughter of the Soul helped the Swedish metal scene gain popularity. Songs from the album have been featured in Rock Band, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Tony Hawk's Proving Ground.

At The Gates’ recent studio album was last year’s The Nightmare of Being.
