It’s all still melodic death metal, so don’t think that the band have decided to all of a sudden abandon who they are, but it’s a different style of melodic death metal entirely. The spacey keys of “Uniformity” or the deep cleans and pop-like styles of “State of Trust” are both familiar and unknown. We’ve heard this kind of thing before – in fact Dark Tranquillity have been slowly using these elements more and more with each new record – but it hasn’t yet dominated an entire album.

After listening to the album several times, I would have to say my top three favorites are State of Trust, Endtime Hearts, and Uniformity.

this is bnm material right LOL

Andrew Bynum is not Wesley Snipes black.

At first listen, this album sounded like a poor Insomnium effort (Insomnium critics insert joke here). But after giving this several replays at work I am pretty sold. A lot of thought, creativity, and musicianship went into the writing and execution of this album. Not a riff thumping, break your face monster, more of a slow moving infectious disease.

Willie, come on now, crack is whack



In my (never) humble opinion, the music in the initial tracks of this album have a lot of the same atmospherics/characteristics of Insomnium. Of course the vast majority of this album and other DT songs have no resemblance to Insomnium whatsoever. But the trumped up disagreement over this comparison is detracting from the main point I was trying to make. Regardless, feel free to dwell if you wish.

Agreed that this sounds almost nothing like Insomnium

the Gothenburg scene bands have a sound that differs a lot from the 'standard' melodeath ways

so yea

how similar is this to character and fiction
