AT THE GATES: 'Purgatory Unleashed - Live at Wacken' To Receive North American Release In May

March 23, 2010

"Purgatory Unleashed - Live at Wacken", a live album of Swedish melodic death metal pioneers AT THE GATES' 2008 Wacken Open Air performance, will be released in North America on May 4 via Earache Records.

Available now in Europe, "Purgatory Unleashed - Live at Wacken" is the first official new audio release from AT THE GATES since the band's 1995 album, "Slaughter Of The Soul", and features 18 live tracks of classic AT THE GATES songs from the band's legendary performance at the Wacken Open Air festival in Germany in 2008. Mixed by Tue Madsen (THE HAUNTED, VADER, WINDS OF PLAGUE),"Purgatory Unleashed" sees AT THE GATES in possibly its best form yet and bowing out at the top of its game.

The limited-edition first pressing of the "Purgatory Unleashed - Live at Wacken" CD includes a free AT THE GATES woven patch, plus a free bandmember signature guitar plectrum, and comes housed in a special slipcase. The album is also available on limited-edition double vinyl LP, which comes housed in a gatefold sleeve and includes a free AT THE GATES poster.

The vinyl version is available in the following, strictly limited colours:

* Black-and-green mix vinyl - 100 copies
* Yellow vinyl - 200 copies
* Light blue vinyl - 300 copies
* Black vinyl - 1,400 copies
