Swedish melodic death metal pioneers, At The Gates, continue to promote their comeback studio album and Century Media Records debut , At War With Reality, and are now presenting a new video clip for the track “Heroes And Tombs” to celebrate today’s beginning of their worldwide touring campaign.

The stunning animated clip was created by Costin Chioreanu / Twilight 13 Media, who also designed the elaborated artwork for the At War With Reality album.

Vocalist and lyricist Tomas Lindberg checked in about the video as follows: "I am very proud to be able to present the second video from AWWR, "Heroes And Tombs". To have Costin work on one of our songs this way has been very rewarding. It's like the next step of the album artwork, and basically more than I could have ever hoped for. Costin paints up a fevered and dark nightmare world that complements the lyrics and music up to the point of perfection. Now I just have to go convince him to do a full length movie for the whole album… ;-)"
