Swedish Melodic Death Metal band At The Gates have revealed a second single for their upcoming album, The Ghost of a Future Dead, out on April 24th, 2026, via Century Media Records.
“The Dissonant Void” is out now, alongside a video directed by longtime At The Gates collaborator Costin Chioreanu.
The band says the following about the “The Dissonant Void”:
We are proud to unveil the second track from ‘The Ghost of a Future Dead’: ‘The Dissonant Void’. Originally considered to be the title track – it’s a powerful, melodic and to the point track with the classic At The Gates style sound.
The video for “The Dissonant Void” serves as a first glimpse of a conceptual project featuring painting, filming, editing and production by Costin Chioreanu for a visual storyline that enhances the The Ghost of a Future Dead album, which will be launched in full sometime soon.
Costin Chioreanu says about the special video project:
‘The Dissonant Void’ is the peak of the iceberg, as a whole visual universe got born out of the void written so masterfully in lyrics by Tomas and expressed magically by the band through their unique heavy metal approach. This video, together with the whole ‘The Ghost of a Future Dead‘ movie, represent my ultimate homage to the genius which will forever remain as Tomas Lindberg. It was a colossal task to express visually the depth and the darkness of these lyrics and music for an entire album, which also is most probably the darkest record I ever worked for.
The follow-up to 2021’s The Nightmare of Being, this upcoming At The Gates album marks a special tribute to frontman Tomas Lindberg, who tragically passed away in September 2025.
The Ghost of a Future Dead was recorded and mixed by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden, and comes with artwork created by Robert Samsonowitz.
The band says about the album:
“We are proud to finally share some news about our eighth studio album, ‘The Ghost of a Future Dead’. The album will be released on April 24, 2026 – more than two years after it was completed in the studio.
As you all know, Tomas Lindberg passed away last year due to complications from his cancer treatment. Over the past few years, we worked closely with Tomas, discussing and refining every detail to ensure nothing was left to chance.
In accordance with Tomas’ wishes – including the album title, sound mix, track order, artwork, and overall presentation – ‘The Ghost of a Future Dead’ remains true to form. It combines the ferocious energy and hard-hitting powerful melodies that is the essence of At The Gates. This album is Tomas’ legacy”.
