DARK TRANQUILLITY Issues Post-South American Tour Update

June 24, 2008

Swedish melodic death metallers DARK TRANQUILLITY have issued the following update:

"Home again after the longest touring stint of our career! Without being too long-winded, let us express our gratitude to towards everyone that participated on the trip; the other bands, the crew, the promoters and of course all you people coming to the shows.

"The third leg of the tour, in South/Latin America, was as amazing as expected. Mexico and Colombia are among or fave places in earth, and getting to play in Chile and Argentina for the first time was fantastic. Rounding off by returning to Istanbul for the first time in seven years was also an experience to remember. Our 2001 gig there was a bit crippled due to the fact that we had to bring a session drummer in on short notice, so it's great that we finally could deliver a full set to the ever passionate Turkish fans.

"So to conclude, we had a blast. Special you-should-have-been-there moment: The show in Argentina, where the audience stole the show by singing to us in between songs. This is how you give a band goosebumps: video (see below) from Teatro Flores, Buenos Aires, Argentina on June 20, 2008.

"We'll get some more video and photo material up in the near future, but for now we'll spend a few days relaxing before getting ready for the Peace & Love and Metaltown festivals this weekend. No rest for the wicked!

"Speaking of tours, most of you have probably read about our headline touring plans for the autumn. Full press releases about this will be made in the near future, but for now we can confirm that we'll be part of the Close-Up Made Us Do It tour, supported by ENGEL and DEAD BY APRIL."

Century Media Records reissued DARK TRANQUILLITY's latest album, "Fiction", last month as an expanded edition in conjunction with the start of the band's just-completd North American tour. The new version is composed of a CD/DVD and features a slew of new material.
