Combining the speed and anger of thrash metal with the burgeoning death metal scene in Gothenburg, Sweden at the time, they crafted a unique sound. The band originally formed in 1990. Their most famous album is Slaughter of the Soul, which was released in 1995. They are part of the New Wave of Swedish Death Metal which includes bands such as In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Hypocrisy and Edge of Sanity among others.

When At the Gates broke up in 1996, drummer Adrian Erlandsson , bassist Jonas Björler and guitarist Anders Björler formed The Haunted while vocalist Tomas Lindberg bounced around between many groups including The Crown , Lock-Up , Nightrage and The Great Deceiver . Adrian Erlandsson left The Haunted to join UK black metal outfit Cradle of FilthCradle of Filth is a British melodic black metal band formed in 1991.
