Who played drums on At the Gates' To Drink from the Night Itself?

Adrian Erlandsson played drums on To Drink from the Night Itself (2018), his third At the Gates studio album following Slaughter of the Soul (1995) and At War with Reality (2014). He remained the band's drummer through the lineup change that saw guitarist Anders Björler depart in March 2017 and Jonas Stålhammar join. For his earlier gear breakdowns, see the [Slaughter of the Soul drum setup](/articles/slaughter-of-the-soul-drum-setup) and the [At War with Reality drum setup](/articles/at-war-with-reality-drum-setup).

What drum kit did Adrian Erlandsson use on To Drink from the Night Itself?

Erlandsson used the same Tama Starclassic Bubinga kit documented on At War with Reality — twin 22" x 18" bass drums, 10" and 12" rack toms, 16" and 18" floor toms, and a matching 14" x 6.5" Bubinga snare, paired with Sabian AAX/HHX cymbals. No equipment change occurred between the two post-reunion albums; the different sonic character between them comes from the studio and engineer rather than the drums and cymbals themselves.

Where was To Drink from the Night Itself recorded?

Drums, bass, and guitars were recorded at Parlour Recording Studios in Kettering, England between November 12 and 26, 2017, with Russ Russell producing, recording, mixing, and mastering alongside band members Jonas Björler and Tomas Lindberg Redant. Vocals were recorded separately at Welfare Studios in Gothenburg, Sweden, and string parts (cello, violin, double bass from guest musicians) were recorded at Rovljud Studios in Örebro, Sweden in December 2017. This was the first At the Gates reunion-era album not recorded at Studio Fredman.

Did At the Gates change lineup for To Drink from the Night Itself?

Yes. Co-founding guitarist Anders Björler departed At the Gates in March 2017, and Jonas Stålhammar joined as lead guitarist alongside Martin Larsson, making To Drink from the Night Itself Stålhammar's first recording with the band. Vocalist Tomas Lindberg, bassist Jonas Björler, and drummer Adrian Erlandsson remained unchanged from At War with Reality (2014) and, in Lindberg, Björler, and Erlandsson's case, from the band's original Slaughter of the Soul (1995) lineup.
