Anders Björler

Anders Björler (born February 26, 1973) is a musician and a songwriter from Sweden. He is best known as the former guitar player in The Haunted and At The Gates. Anders also has a twin brother; Jonas Björler, whom he have played together with in both At The Gates and The Haunted. Anders also released an instrumental solo album in November, 2013, entitled 'Antikythera', which was inspired by progressive rock, postrock, jazz and Italian film soundtracks.

Apart from being a musician, he is also a film director and editor, and has been directing and editing music promo videos, documentaries & in-the-studio features for bands like Meshuggah, In Flames, At The Gates, The Haunted & Dark Tranquillity.

Anders is the founding member of the melodic death metal band At The Gates with his twin brother Jonas Björler, Tomas Lindberg, Alf Svensson, and Adrian Erlandsson. In July 1996, at the end of the touring cycle for their critically acclaimed 1995 album Slaughter of the Soul, Anders left the band and At the Gates consequently split up. In October 2007, At the Gates announced a final reunion for 2008, playing major European music festivals along with US, Japanese and Swedish tours. However, in 2011, they reunited a second time to play more shows. The band also released a comeback album, entitled At War with Reality, in late 2014. Björler departed the band in March 2017, with the band set to continue on with a new album following his departure from the band.

In September 1996, a few months after the break up of At The Gates, Björler joined The Haunted as the lead guitarist. He remained in the band until 2001 when deciding to focus on university film studies. Björler returned to the band in 2002, but once again departed from the band in October 2012.
