It's been
2 years since their latest recording Haven, but
now they're sure back. For those rare people who haven't heard
about DARK TRANQUILLITY, like many other bands in the Gothenburg
area, they play melodic technical death music. And they know how!
This band is already 13 years in business and can be added to
Swedish finest!
This albums
kicks off with the track Final Resistance and I don't think
they could've picked a better start. It offers a great variety
in song structure, rhythm changes... And the vocals by Mikael
Stanne have reached a new level! Track 3 Monochromatic Stains
could've been picked right of a Children Of Bodom album, at least
the intro of it. Then they change into their own DARK TRANQUILLITY
style. No, this guys don't need to be copycats! They sure have
enough technical abilities! This album is just one you play from
the beginning to the end without getting bored.
For those
who fear that this is just another DARK TRANQUILLITY album
or yet another melodic Gothenburg band, just don't! It's heavier
than Haven and sure is their best release up to
date. News have been confirmed that they've started touring again
together with Sinergy + 2 more to be confirmed, so don't miss
out on that gig!
