DARK TRANQUILLITY Forced To Miss First Show Of OPETH Tour

February 14, 2006

Sweden's DARK TRANQUILLITY missed their connecting flight in Paris on their way to the U.S for their tour with OPETH and will unfortunately not play the first show of the OPETH tour on Wednesday, February 15 in Raleigh, North Carolina. DARK TRANQUILLITY's first live appearance on the tour will be in Norfolk, Virginia on Thursday, February 16.

The OPETH trek, which runs through March 21, will be DARK TRANQUILLITY's second U.S. run 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.

Mikael Stanne (vocals) further describes his excitement over the upcoming tour: "Well, the packing is now complete and we are heading back to the U.S. These six degenerates from the foggiest, snowiest and coldest part of Gothenburg will cross over the Atlantic and we are bringing the metal! This will be a great one for sure, touring with the ever amazing OPETH, the one and only Devin Townsend and DEVILDRIVER. Doesn't get much better than that. We have been plotting and scheming about setlists and such and we believe we have something very special in store for you all, both for the supporting dates and especially for the headline shows. See you there folks."
