A tribute to Tompa Lindberg: Withering Surface “Under A Serpent Sun”
Video premiere | As a tribute to the late Tomas “Tompa” Lindberg, the Danish melodic death metal band Withering Surface has recorded a cover version of At the Gates’ “Under A Serpent Sun” live in the studio. Watch the music below.
Danish melodic death metal band Withering Surface decided to pay tribute to At the Gates’ Tomas “Tompa” Lindberg, who passed away on the 16th of September. Tompa and At the Gates were a huge inspiration for Withering Surface. “Under A Serpent Sun” is a song Withering Surface performed live many times during the late 90s and early 2000s.
“Back in the day, when we formed Withering Surface, I discovered At the Gates”, says Allan Tvedebrink, founding member, composer and guitarist in Withering Surface. “One year later, they released ‘Slaughter of the Soul’, which to this day is still one of my top three albums of all time. The others differ from time to time, but ‘Slaughter of the Soul’ remains. It’s timeless and it’s perfect… So is the legacy of At the Gates. They have had a massive influence on me, our band and on the entire genre throughout the years.”
