At War with Reality is the fifth studio album and major label debut by Swedish melodic death metal band At the Gates, released on 28 October 2014.

Despite playing a handful of successful reunion shows, members of at the Gates stated that they would not record a new album,[6] suggesting that it would be "pointless to release something more than ten years after Slaughter of the Soul.

[1] In a November 2014 interview, Lindberg was asked whether At War with Reality was at the Gates' final album or the band would continue recording.

The quote on the track "El altar del dios desconocido" is taken from the novel On Heroes and Tombs written by Argentine writer Ernesto Sabato.

He finished his review by saying that, "At the Gates make mincemeat out of this album and efficiently plot most of their songs to wrap in far less time than their acolytes.

Inadvertently and unfairly credited for the ascension of metalcore, At the Gates releases a demonstrative comeback album that's simply metal, forget the 'core-rellations.
