I thought I would pay tribute to former At the Gates frontman Tomas Lindberg who passed away in September during this month's playlist. The first four tracks all feature Tomas on vocals with various assorted projects from several periods of his career. I must admit that , as someone who is not a massive fan of the Gothenburg scene, that I am not too familiar with his career, but I have tried to provide suitable tribute to a man who was an undeniably important figure in swedish death metal.

Also, as Karl has chosen not to contribute any suggestions this month, I, along with Vinny, have had to do a lot of heavy lifting this month. I have tried to cover all the bases under the Horde umbrella, but my knowledge of some of the sub-genres is limited, so forgive me if it has turned out a bit lame.
