DARK TRANQUILLITY Checks In From Korea

September 22, 2006

Swedish melodic death metallers DARK TRANQUILLITY have posted the following message on their official web site:

"Finally got some time out of the hectic schedule to issue a website update from the luxurious bar of our hotel in Korea. The tour has been a truly phenomenal experience so far, and we want to extend a huge 'THANKS!' to the all the awesome people that made the shows in Japan and Australia so successful.

"After traveling for 24 hours straight, via three different flights, we've finally arrived to Seoul and spent some quality seightseeing time visiting the 63 building and the War memorial of Korea before getting some well-needed rest for the first time in two weeks. Hence, tonight's show at the Rolling hall is bound to be a massive energy explosion that will leave no one unaffected.

"Speaking of Korea, the fine people at Dope Entertainment have issued a re-release of 'Character' to coincide with our gigs here. The new version features the 'Lost to Apathy' and 'The New Build' video clips.

"Tip of the day: If you're a fan of technical/progressive bands like ATHEIST and CYNIC, check out the excellent ALARUM, who supported us on the Sydney and Melbourne dates."

As previously reported, a video clip of DARK TRANQUILLITY performing a new song, entitled "Where Death Is Most Alive", live in Melbourne, Australia on Tuesday, September 19 has been posted online at YouTube.com.

DARK TRANQUILLITY recently announced that its next studio album will be produced by Danish producer Tue Madsen. "The effort will be mixed in his Antfarm studio, while the actual recording will take place in different premises here in Sweden," the band said. "Drums will be set to tape at the old Studio Fredman, while guitars, bass, vocals and electronics will be immortalized at Rogue Music." Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Blind at Heart", "The Lesser Faith", "InsignifiCunt" and "The Plunge"."

DARK TRANQUILLITY completed a North American tour earlier in the year with OPETH, THE DEVIN TOWNSEND BAND and DEVILDRIVER in support of "Character", their highly acclaimed latest album that brought these originators of the famed Gothenburg scene back to the forefront of the genre. "Character", recorded once again at Studio Fredman (IN FLAMES, ARCH ENEMY),has also been praised as their most groundbreaking yet as it retains all of the band's classic elements and thought-provoking lyrical content while blending the perfect amount of unrelenting aggression and melody.
