January 27, 2005

DARK TRANQUILLITY's new album, "Character", has entered the Swedish national chart at position No. 3. View the whole chart at this location.

Commented the band: "Weird! After having spent 16 years writing and performing songs for a small but devoted subculture, we suddenly find our new album on position #3 in the national Swedish album chart — and all this without having to compromise one single bit with our music.

"Our aim has always been to do our own thing without paying too much attention to the current norms in the music scene; to give people time to change to appreciate our particular brand of mayhem rather than having us changing our music in a vain attempt to gain mass appeal. It seems like that time finally is here — and it's not a decade too late!

"We'd like to thank all of you who have taken the initiative of buying 'Character', and we're truly flattered by the fantastic feedback and reviews given so far. The chart position is a great way to kick off the European tour with KREATOR, HATESPHERE and EKTOMORF, starting in just a few days. See you down the road!"

DARK TRANQUILLITY's European tour will culminate in a March 7 appearance at the "Tuska Winter War" festival in Helsinki, Finland with CRADLE OF FILTH and others. One month later, the American soil will get to experience DARK TRANQUILLITY on tour with SOILWORK, HYPOCRISY and MNEMIC.
