At The Gates have released a video for Daggers of Haze.
The track will feature on the Swedish metallers' upcoming LP, 'To Drink From The Night Itself', which is out on May 18 through Century Media Records. Speaking about the track, frontman Tomas Lindberg said:
"Daggers of Black Haze represents the more progressive side of the new record. It has a lot of reference-points to our early back catalogue, both style wise, and the emotional setting. It is desperate and urgent, but still melancholic and epic. It is conceptually one of the cornerstones of the album. Driving home the point of the need for a war on apathy and the populistic forces that takes advantage of it. This is a fight against the abyss. A beacon for the importance of real art, real forms of expression, and importance of our understanding of our mutual cultural history.
"The video was filmed by Costin Chioreanu once again, and it is full of symbolism and heavy on the conceptual side. Costin displays the war for art and the importance of standing up to the oppressive powers and paradigms with his film. It is beautiful, striking, melancholic and I am very happy to see his vision of my concept."
The band will support the release with a summer European tour, including an appearance at Bloodstock in the UK in August.
