New Dark Tranquillity Album
2009-07-03 by Crysis | 56 Replies | 1185 Views

Dark Tranquillity have recently announced their plans for a new album.

The band issued the following update: "Time to let you in on the plans for our upcoming ninth (or tenth, depending on how you count) full-length album. The as-yet-untitled beast will be recorded in September and October and released in early 2010 through Century media records.

"We'll keep the recording setup completely in-house this time. Drums will be tracked in Daniel Antonsson's studio, while the remaining instruments will be immortalized in Martin Brändström's newly renovated Rogue music facilities. The mixing duties will once again be handled by Tue Madsen in his Antfarm studio in Denmark.

"As for the music itself, it's a bit too early to delve into details, but the material feels diverse and fresh and covers all the facets of the D.T. 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.

"Some tentative song titles are "I am the void", "Zero distance", "the burden of love alive", "Archangelsk" and "Memories in reverse", though these are subject to change as usual.

Well, more news will follow in due time..."


Dark Tranquillity will also re-release their classic albums Projector, Haven and Damage Done in a slipcase packaging with bonus material, as well as the rarities compilation Yesterworlds, on May 25, 2009 in Europe via Century Media Records. As a very exclusive bonus the three album reissues will also contain one song each from the band’s upcoming DVD Where Death Is Most Alive, due later this year.

It's gotten a lot better recently. Next year has a lot of big metal albums I'm looking forward to. This year has been great for post-rock/indie stuff though.

Well, I guess I've had a few surprises but I've been hugely disappointed for the most part (metal that is).

I don't think they created it themselves but they were definitely one of the first.

My tastes lay heavily on DT's side of melodeath, so this is nothing short of fantastic news for me. I have yet to hear an album from these fellows that I didn't adore.

Oddly enough, I'm not very fond of AtG; the supposed progenitors of the gothenburg sound.

I'm pretty sure Entombed started it in 1990, DT started in 89 but they were progressive then so I don't know
