At the Gates (1993-1996, 2007-present)
Guitarist Alf Svensson parted ways with At the Gates during 1993. Members of the group knew Larsson; they had "met him" during concerts, and had played alongside Larsson's group The House of Usher on one or two occasions. According to bandmember Anders Björler, Larsson "felt like a good substitute. When asked what each At the Gates member contributed to the group's overall sound, Björler said that Larsson "didn't write that much music, though he's a great guitarist". Larsson was present for At the Gates' reunion tour in 2008. The band has continued playing live since, and announced that they will release their fifth album At War with Reality in late 2014.
