Sänger Tomas Lindberg Redant zum Konzept des Albums: "The overall theme deals with the topic of pessimism, and I have been diving deep down in pessimistic philosophers. Trying to understand this way of looking at the world. It is not a negative album, more a gateway into new ideas for me personally, trying out different perspectives. You could call the album an introduction to pessimism as a concept, I guess. It is a very dark album, but not negative…"
Bezüglich der Musik ergänzte der Sänger, dass "The Nightmare Of Being" AT THE GATES in einem neuen Gewand präsentieren wird: “It still sounds like AT THE GATES, 100 percent. It is just more of everything….”
"The Nightmare Of Being" wird am 2. Juli 2021 bei Cenuty Media erscheinen.
