DARK TRANQUILLITY: Finnish Dates Announced
February 18, 2008Swedish melodic death metallers DARK TRANQUILLITY have scheduled four dates in Finland in April. The details are as follows:
April 18 - Mikkeli, Finland @ Vaakuna
April 20 - Helsinki, Finland @ Tavastia
April 21 - Turku, Finland @ Klubi

DARK TRANQUILLTY was honored in the "Metal" category at Sweden's annual Manifestgalan awards, which recognizes fantastic music and musicians from independent record labels. DARK TRANQUILLTY received the award for its latest album, "Fiction", which was released in April 2007 via Century Media Records. The CD was mixed by Tue Madsen (HIMSA, THE HAUNTED) and "encompasses all of the elements on which the band built their career: thought-provoking lyrics, shredding guitar work, captivating melodies and sheer brutality," according to a press release.
DARK TRANQUILLITY's "Haven" (2000) and "Projector" (1999) albums were reissued in Japan last month to coincide with the group's Japanese tour. Both albums feature lengthy liner notes by vocalist Mikael Stanne detailing the songwriting and recording process as well as the inner working of the band at the time of creating the songs. In addition, "Projector" features the extra track "Exposure" — previously unreleased in Japan — and "Haven" is graced with "Cornered" as a bonus song.
