At the Gates – The Fever Mask

Well, this was unexpected (for me).
At the Gates came out with a new single two days ago. They're releasing another album using vocals that Tompa, R.I.P., finished recording before his death. The song sounds great, I love it.

Reading Lindberg's wikipedia article, it turns out he was just all around a good dude. He created Darkthrone's logo and was also in a band called The Great Deceiver, which is described as a mixture of hardcore punk and melodeath, with influences by The Cure and Joy Division. He was actually part of a lot of bands. People said about him that he was a unifying presence in the 1980/1990s Gothenburg metal scene and helped foster a tightly connected community as well as being a mentor. Oh, and he taught social studies in secondary school.
