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."

Written by =maD.Doc:. on 18.12.2009 at 15:26 I am surprised from this cover too - i did not expect something like that-at all. Strange that there are no other comments about the cover! Of course the song sounds great, but i could not...accept the cover art somehow!  Imagine if anyone wears a t-shirt with the new cover art stamp on it, wouldn't it be...surreal?!

I see nothing wrong with the cover. I've learnt not to expect much when it comes to that. I don't feel like Sundin has a fixed style either like.

Am I really the only one disliking this song through and through? The lame keyboards are totally killing this song. But yeah, whatever, wasn't expecting that much after the utter disappointment that was Fiction.

Cover is interesting...very different from their others thats for sure. New song sounds pretty good...maybe it'll grow on me more. Either way I can't wait to hear the rest of the album.

The song is good, as usual. But the cover art is damn ugly...

Sounds a bit like old Soilwork, which is fine by me! The cover is brilliant.

Oh gawd! Let's not jump into conclusions after hearing just 1 song and some crappy artwork! IMO the song is nothing special. though not bad.

The song was okay, Dark Tranquillity can do much better. I liked the last part of it though.

The cover art has got a new feel to it, but I don't like it very much. The same goes for the song, the keyboards are unnerving.

The reason why the cover art doesn't really feel like they use too is that it's not Niclas Sundin doing it, and that is why it didn't feel that he did it too me in the first place (reffering to an older post I did here).

Weak cover art, a "single" that sounds like it could have been on Fiction (an already bland album)... I mean it's good for the people who like hearing the same thing over and over, but I for one appreciate growth and DT haven't made any strides to change since the outstanding Damage Done. I think I'm finally coming to and end with my love for melodic death/Gothenburg/whatever-you-want-to-call-it metal. Written by =maD.Doc:. on 11.01.2010 at 22:16 Where did you hear this news? And who is responsible for that album cover?

Troy, Niclas Sundin said it himself in one of their Studio Reports for "We are the Void".

Bad art. just seems so uninspired. Edit. lol! On their myspace, in the group photo, 4 of the members are doing the exact same thing with there hands (thumbs in the jeans). Originality FAIL... I still love you DT

Thanks for the info mango; it's just unfortunate because Niclas Sundin definitely has great vision and his album art is always something to be admired.
