Early death metal melodic composers, At the Gates invented a surface style ("Gothenburg") and an underlying, progressive, complex way of crafting songs of dextrous melodic fluidity and variation. Although their uneven output prevented them from inheriting the new terrain they conquered, it lived on first in progressive death metal and later, black metal, notably Transilvanian Hunger from Darkthrone.
