Swedish melodic death metal pioneers DARK TRANQUILLITY will release their new album, “Moment”, on November 20 via Century Media. The official music video for the disc’s third single, “The Dark Unbroken”, can be seen below.
The band comments: “Filmed in the heart of Gothenburg with renowned TV/film director Erik Eger (‘Thicker Than Water’, ‘One Hundred Years Of Evil’), ‘The Dark Unbroken’ shows the city as we’ve seen it this year and it reflects our longing to be back on a stage together. Shot in part at the beautiful Stora Teatern that has stood in the center of town since 1859, this serves as a transition to our upcoming streamed live show from the very same stage on the 21st of November. More info on this to follow. Until then, enjoy ‘The Dark Unbroken’!”
“Moment” will be available as a digipak, black LP, silver LP, and CD jewel case.
It’s been four years since DARK TRANQUILLITY‘s Swedish Grammis-nominated album “Atoma”. But the time between was creative, innovative, and adventurous. The band welcomed two top-tier guitarists — Christopher Amott (ex-ARCH ENEMY) and Johan Reinholdz (NONEXIST) — while writing a stunning cluster of songs that not only push DARK TRANQUILLITY‘s boundaries outward but also strongly typify the Swedes’ sonic fingerprint. Recorded at Nacksving Studios and Rogue Music by Martin Brändström and then mixed/mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios, “Moment” is a riveting yet challenging journey from start to finish.
Founding DARK TRANQUILLITY guitarist Niklas Sundin announced his departure from the band in March, explaining in a statement that he “always enjoyed the creative process more than the performance aspects of being in a band, and the required extensive touring held less and less appeal with every album.”
In early 2017, DARK TRANQUILLITY released a seven-inch single featuring the two songs — “The Absolute” and “Time Out Of Place” — which had previously only been released as bonus tracks of the limited-edition CD version of “Atoma”. These cuts were the most experimental and daring numbers ever from the DARK TRANQUILLITY camp, featuring a very different approach to their usual brand of melodic death metal.
DARK TRANQUILLITY is:
Mikael Stanne – Vocals
Martin Brändström – Electronics
