One of the pioneers of the Gothenburg Death Metal sound.

Anders and Jonas Björler are identical twins.

In February 1990 Tomas Lindberg, joining forces with guitarist Björn Mankner and identical twins Anders Björler and Jonas Björler, on guitar and bass respectively, forged Infestation (Swe). A two song rehearsal demo, "When Sanity Ends", was recorded at Fågeln studio and issued in August but Infestation (Swe) collapsed shortly thereafter. Lindberg and the two brothers then hooked up with Alf Svensson plus drummer Adrian Erlandsson, and duly created At The Gates.

On October 18, 2007 the band announced a reunion tour for 2008.
