By now everyone knows that Swedish death metal legends At the Gates will release their new LP, To Drink from the Night Itself, on May 18 via Century Media, but first they are joining the Decibel Flexi Series! The band chose to re-record their 1993 classic “Raped by the Light of Christ” for a 25th anniversary rendition released exclusively through Decibel. Of course the only place you can experience it is via the Decibel Flexi Series. So, if you want to complete your At the Gates discography, don’t hesitate, because an extremely limited number of issues containing our 89th installment in the Decibel Flexi Series are available here.

And don’t forget, At the Gates headline Decibel Metal & Beer Fest on Saturday, March 31! Don’t miss your chance to see the legendary Swedes blast out “Raped by the Light of Christ” live (and plenty more classics) at their only currently scheduled U.S. appearance of 2018.
