Dark Tranquillity, season 11. Three years ago we had Construct, a so-so album - a mostly failed experiment at redefining themselves. Sure, these last few years haven't been easy on DT as far as line-up was concerned, particularly 2016 with the departure of founding member Martin Henriksson. Read more ›› |

Always stoked for one of my favorite bands. Hope this is heavier than Construct though.

One of my favorite bands ever. Can't wait. Construct grew on me a lot. Even got to see them live earlier this year. I always feel like I'm just tiding myself over with other melodic death metal bands until the next Dark Tranquillity album.

Real cool art, but it's not what I expected from Dark Tranquillity. I actually haven't got the chance to listen to their latest two albums yet, so the direction this album takes for me will be a surprise.

Posts: 1208 Written by Overrwatcher on 13.07.2016 at 00:05 Well that's the same kind of art to be seen on Construct  Even tho some people seem to regret what DT used to do "before", I like all of their albums and am actually happy that they don't always repeat. Unlike bands like In Flames they have managed to recreate without losing power. I don't consider them really brutal (don't tell me someone does  but they never lack power and inspiration. I have missed a new DT album and now I cannot wait to be able to listen to a first track !

Can't wait, Construct slowly creeped behind my back and before I knew, it became one of my favorite DT albums. While most people will disagree with me I think, I hope they continue in that direction. The artwork is amazing as usual, Niklas delivers again.

Posts: 1208 Written by [user id=160521] on 18.08.2016 at 17:05 Too bad I missed your so valuable comment before ! 1. First of all a comment using "fucking" every 10 words or so must not be taken into serious consideration imo 2. Secondly you clearly know nothing about Dark Tranquillity as they have grown from death metal to melodeath or whatever you call today's style. 3. Unlike bands like In Flames (or In Shame), they have always offered something new and different yet very enjoyable. Now, I don't know about the rest of you guys (and gals) but I cannot wait to listen to a first track ! LAast but not leas seeing them on stage is a real treat as they enjoy what they do and we also enjoy that a LOT !

Spun it twice now and I vastly prefer it over the past couple of totally lacklustre albums by DT.

There are some tracks I already love like Encircled, Atoma, Foward Momentum or The Pitiless, others I am learning to love yet I miss a nice closing soundtracks as we used to be offered. Now listening to the 2 bonus tracks so that I can make an opinion about the edition I'm going to buy

Posts: 9125 Written by s_t_s on 02.11.2016 at 21:27 Yeah, Caves And Embers has a nice closing feel, but nowhere near "Ex Nhilo", "At Loss For Words" or "My Negation" (or even "None Becoming")

Couple of tracks are pretty great - especially the first track - but everything else seems to fall short of that benchmark.

After the best first track there are some weaker ones, but overall it's a very enjoyable album and a return to form after a few weak releases.

I was excited about this album from the start, with the artwork, and the singles that came out. Loving every track. Every track has something unique about it that blends the whole album together. I got into them starting with Fiction, and this brings me back to those days.

I'm sure I'm gonna like this more after a few listens, but I know it's no top 10 metal albums of 2016 material.
