At The Gates have released an animated video for their new track A Stare Bound In Stone.

It’s the latest track taken from the Swedish outfit’s upcoming album To Drink From The Night Itself, which will launch on May 18 via Century Media Records.

At The Gates previously released a promo for the new record’s title track.

Frontman Tomas Lindberg says: “For the second single, we wanted this menacing stormer, fast aggressive verses, heavy chorus and an evil mantra of an ending.

“This, for me, depicts the desperate, urgent mood of the record. I think it could be one of the most aggressive songs we have ever written.

“This album is so diverse, and includes so much different elements that it is hard to boil down those essences to just one song. This song has a lot of them, though, more to come soon.”

The band collaborated with Twilight 13 Media’s Costin Chioreanu on the video – and Lindberg has praised his work on the shoot.

He says: “We wanted to work with Costin on this one, as he is an essential part of this record. We felt that he knew exactly what kind of emotions we wanted to get across, and how to capture them artistically.

“I see this video as a brilliant complement to the song. Enjoy!”

At The Gates will head out on tour again next month, with dates planned in the Far East and Europe – including a set at the UK’s Bloodstock festival.
