Last month, the sad news that At The Gates<\/a> vocalist Tomas Lindberg had passed away<\/a> after battling a rare, yet aggressive form of cancer hit hard. We\u2019d only learned he was dealing with such a dire health issue a month prior, but it\u2019d been a long-time issue and it all sadly came to a head.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, fellow Gothenburg, Sweden natives Dark Tranquillity<\/a> paid tribute to Lindberg by covering At The Gates\u2019 track \u201cBlinded By Fear\u201d in their hometown.<\/p>\n

Lindberg was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), which the\u00a0Cleveland Clinic<\/a>\u00a0describes as a \u201crare type of cancer that affects your glandular tissues [that] commonly forms in your salivary glands,\u201d back in December 2023.<\/p>\n

According to those close to him, Lindberg initially had a large portion of the roof of his mouth removed early on in his treatment and had also undergone chemotherapy following his diagnosis. Despite those efforts, doctors found that the cancer had returned earlier this year. Following a major \u201csetback\u201d that occurred this past May, it was then that At The Gates\u00a0revealed Lindberg\u2019s condition to the world<\/a>\u00a0and let fans know he was receiving \u201caround-the-clock\u201d care.<\/p>\n

Regardless, Lindberg recorded vocals for the band\u2019s forthcoming album. As a founding member of At The Gates, Lindberg was well regarded in the metal world as a leading voice in the Swedish melodic death metal scene. He was also a member of some beloved projects like The Crown, Disfear, and The Great Deceiver.<\/p>\n
