New Dark Tranquillity Album

2013-01-10 by Kyle Ward EMERITUS | 55 Comments
Swedish melodic death metal veterans Dark Tranquillity have announced that they will begin recording for their 10th studio album early this year. Commenting on the album, the band said:

"After having played over 200 shows in every corner of the world in support of the We Are The Void album, it's time to focus inwards and lock ourselves up in the studio. Months and months of hard songwriting work has paid off, and the recording sessions will start early this year. Further details will be announced in due time, but for now we can reveal that the album will be entitled Construct, and that we're very excited to have Jens Bogren (PARADISE LOST, OPETH, KATATONIA) taking care of the mix."

Construct is slated to be released on May 27th.

Dark Tranquillity has never interested me too much, but it will still be fun to check out.

Every time a favorite band of mine is about to release a new album an their last album sucked or wasn't up to their usual high standards, I get very very nervous! I really hope this will be as great as their other works apart form WATV.

Sweet. If it's similar to Fiction I'll be happy, but I also kind of want them to take their music in a completely new direction
at the same time.

I'm not sure if I still like Dark Tranquillity nowadays. I stopped listening to DT when We are the void released at 2010. The melodic death metal is just for fun, to be honest. But when I've got kinda bored with We are the void, I listened to non-metal bands such as Soul whirling somewhere, Red house painters, The Cure (Disintegration), Nick Drake, Black tape for a blue girl and so on...
to cheer me up or feel something different than fast-paced and aggresive metal music.

I'm still fine with Dark Tranquillity, but I'm not really fan of that band, anymore. Sorry.

I think Damage Done, Character, Fiction, and We Are the Void are all solid albums. I don't understand how people say that WATV sucked. To me it sounded on par with the past three albums they put out. I'm definitely looking forward to this one.

Damn, that many shows just for We Are The Void? That's the first DT album I didn't pick up because I just couldn't get into it. I hope this new one is better than that.

I didn't like WaTV either very uninspired/lacked personality compared to Character.

Only Dark Tranquillity I own is their latest one, gotta fix that soon, because while it is good, it is far from their best

how would you know that if you haven't heard anything else?

btw get Fiction and The Gallery. think you'd dig em. Character's cool too but I find it kinda repetitive.

Band have reached a point where there's no use in hoping that they could release anything "experimental" or super fresh anymore. Furthermore, I imagine that if they would actually try to (radically) change themselves, the end result would be awkward. Saying that, if they release a Fiction part 2, I'll be content.

WATV sucked and is the natural consequence of a band making too many albums and running out of ideas

I haven't even listened to We Are the Void or the new EP, but I'm still gonna listen to this. Hopefully it rules.

WATV and the Zero Distance are pretty good, they're just not that flashy compared to their other releases.

lol well I think projector is musically really well done and people need to get over the fact that dark tranquillity did something different. it is still good. but damage done is my favourite

@Lelle I get ya, hoping they do something refreshing for the next album. The 4 before the last album are all solid.
