AT THE GATES Lion Tee

Slaughter of the Soul came out in 1995 and basically handed melodic death metal its own rulebook. At the Gates have been the blueprint ever since, influencing every dual-guitar Swedish death band that followed, and a solid half the metalcore scene whether those bands admit it or not.

This Lion tee represents the Gothenburg end of the dark aesthetic spectrum, where melody and brutality stopped fighting each other and started working shifts. If your record shelf runs Entombed into Carcass into Dark Tranquility, this sits exactly where it belongs. ALT CVLT stocks it because the Swedish death metal lineage is not optional knowledge.

Printed on Gildan Heavy Cotton. Official licensed product. Available in standard unisex sizing.

Fans of: Hypocrisy, Entombed, Bloodbath, Dark Tranquility, The Haunted, Carcass.
