Regarding their decision to play more reunion shows in 2011, the members of AT THE GATES said last fall in a statement: "AT THE GATES will do a limited run of select shows in 2011. Simply put, we had the time of our lives during the 2008 reunion and have decided to do a couple of more shows. Although we won't be touring extensively, and we stick to the initial promise of not making any more music."
AT THE GATES' "The Flames Of The End" DVD was released in April 2010 in the U.S. through Earache Records.
AT THE GATES released its definitive album, "Slaughter Of The Soul" often regarded as one of the all-time greatest metal albums on Earache in 1995, before touring the world and abruptly disbanding. Members of the band went on to play major roles in other notorious metal acts such as THE HAUNTED and CRADLE OF FILTH, before reforming for a one-off tour in 2008 to rapturous response.
