Tomas Lindberg, from Gothenburg, Sweden, has been active as a musician and composer since the late 1980s. To date, he is most famous for his time as vocalist with Swedish melodic death metal band, At The Gates. At The Gates broke up shortly after the 1995 release of the highly acclaimed Slaughter Of The Soul album.

Since then, Lindberg has been involved in many other diverse musical projects within the metal scene. He has fronted Hide, The Crown, Disfear, Skitsystem, and the grindcore supergroup Lockup, in which he performed alongside members of Napalm Death Shane Embury (bass) and Jesse Pintado (guitar) and current-Dimmu Borgir drummer, Nick Barker.

He is earning praise for his Gothenburg-based outfit, The Great Deceiver, far removed from his previous work -- a product of the Gothenburg melodic death metal scene mixed with influences from artists such as The Cure and Joy Division.
