“With all the stuff surrounding his illness and eventually passing, I had a hard time listening to it”: At The Gates drummer couldn’t listen to new album until “recently”, due to late singer Tomas Lindberg’s cancer battle

At The Gates in 2022.

At The Gates drummer Adrian Erlandsson admits that until recently he had a “hard time” listening to the Gothenburg death metal band’s new album The Ghost Of A Future Dead, due to the cancer battle and later death of frontman Tomas Lindberg.

Talking to Metal Hammer, the 55-year-old says that he put off listening to the album until shortly before Lindberg’s passing at the age of 52 last September, despite it having been fully recorded more than a year before.
