Decibel Magazine says that the documentary "is absolutely mandatory viewing for anyone remotely keen on Swedish death metal."
Disc 2: 'Purgatory Unleashed - Live at Wacken' - a 75-minute live show from the band's now-legendary performance at Wacken festival in 2008.
Disc 3: 'Only the Dead Are Smiling' - 26 rare and archive live performances of At The Gates playing in locations around the globe from 1991 - 2008.
At The Gates frontman Tomas Lindberg comments: "This is it! The final goodbye! It took some time - mainly because we, and especially Anders, put his heart and dedication into this project 100%. It was very important for all of us that this would be a fitting testament for the band, and a true disposition of our time in the scene. It brings a smile to me every time I think about the summer of 2008, a special moment that we now all can relive again and again, the feelings are so overwhelming. I am so proud to have been part of this. Thanks to everyone who came out and made it so special and everybody who never stopped believing."
