At War with Reality is the fifth studio album and major label debut by Swedish melodic death metal band At the Gates, released on 28 October 2014.[1][2] It is the band's first album since Slaughter of the Soul (1995), marking the longest gap between two studio albums in their career. It is a concept album based on the literary genre of magic realism.[3]

At War with Reality received positive reviews from music critics, and music videos were released for the songs "Death and the Labyrinth", "Heroes and Tombs", The Book of Sand (The Abomination)" and "The Night Eternal". It was the band's last studio album to feature co-founding guitarist Anders Björler, who departed from the band in 2017[4] before returning in 2022.
