Dark Tranquillity - New Album Details Revealed


Original news, posted on 28.11.2009

Dark Tranquillity will release We Are The Void, due in Europe on March 1, 2010 via Century Media Records.

The drums for the CD were recorded at bassist Daniel Antonsson's studio, while the remaining instruments were tracked at Martin Brändström's (electronics) newly renovated Rogue music facility. The mixing duties are once again being handled by Tue Madsen (Halford, Behemoth, Kataklysm, The Haunted) at his Antfarm studio in Århus, Denmark. Working songtitles set to appear on the CD include "I Am The Void", "Zero Distance", "The Burden Of Love Alive", "Archangelsk" and "Memories In Reverse".

Regarding the musical direction of the band's new material, Dark Tranquillity previously said, "It's a bit too early to delve into details, but the material feels diverse and fresh and covers all the facets of the Dark Tranquillity sound. Those who are familiar with our songwriting process know that we always keep re-arranging and experimenting with the material until the recording starts, and while we currently have the basic foundations for around 10 songs, many things are still open. The final result is likely to surprise ourselves as well as you people."


UPDATED (thanks to Overlord_PT)

Dark Tranquillity have launched their brand-new song "Dream Oblivion" at their newly redesigned MySpace page. The track gives you a first impression of the new album We Are The Void which will hit stores on the following dates:

Sweden: February 24, 2010
Germany / Austria / Switzerland / Benelux / Italy / Australia: February 26, 2010
Uk / France / Greece / Denmark / Norway / Rest Of Europe: March 1, 2010
Spain / Portugal: March 2, 2010
Finland / Hungary: March 3, 2010
North America: March 9, 2010




The band's follow-up to 2007's Fiction was recorded at Dark Tranquillity's very own Rogue Music studio and mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen at Antfarm Studio in Denmark. To follow the creation of this superb melodic death metal opus Anders Björler (The Haunted, At The Gates) filmed a detailed studio report series, which can also be found on the band's MySpace page.

I like the title but it really doesn't matter to me as long as it is a good album.

I'm very curious about the album of course, these guys never seem to disappoint.

I disagree, sometimes when "Mikael Stanne" used clean vocals, he seemed like a stupid man (for example in the "The Mundane And The Magic [feat. Nell Sigland]" clean vocals is very bad !!!!).
I hope he use less clean vocals in the future.

Personally i expect something really good from them. I hope that they have made some distinct progress from their previous 3 albums.
Anyway, something tells me that i will dedicate plenty of my time when i get the cd.

I agree with you sakis. I think clean vocals work pretty well with DT's style of songs. They do one of those sometimes. One good thing about them: they know when and now to use clean vocals, that's not always easy.

At least that's what I think.

Yaaay, the fanboy in me rejoyces... I have no doubt the album is gonna blow me away...
And Mikael's clean vocals are kinda eerie imo, in a good way, and on the rare occasions he makes use of them, I would say they fit perfectly...And as said above, unlike some other "established" gothenburg acts, DT know when and how to implement clean vocals in their music, WITHOUT sounding like metalcore crap...

I second that, Mikael's voice is pretty good at clean.

I like what in hear in this first song. But in a way I hate these teasers, because it only makes it worse to wait.

I'll definitely buy it in March, first thing.

Wow... Just... Wow... WOW! Damn, I have chills down my spine! This is so f***ing epic, and dark, and... GAH! This is so great I can't possibly wait until March for this!!! Come on! Give us the album NOW!! (I am offcourse talking about the new song on the myspace page). The cover art on the other hand, doesn't feel very Dark Tranquillity, nor Niklas Sundin to me =/
