Blinded By Fear: At The Gates' Game-Changing Track

At The Gates 1995 album Slaughter of the Soul revolutionized metal, with the track Blinded By Fear blending brutal riffs and catchy melodies. After a disappointing prior release, the band pushed through grueling sessions, with drummer Adrian Erlandsson nailing over eighty snare takes. Blinded By Fear was hailed as groundbreaking, influencing countless melodeath bands. The song, designed as a killer opener, draws from Lindbergs personal frustrations and features a mechanical intro inspired by early 90s industrial sounds. Even after Lindbergs passing in 2025, Blinded By Fear remains a staple in At The Gates live shows.
