DARK TRANQUILLITY, SOILWORK, SONIC SYNDICATE Singers Interviewed; Video Available
February 21, 2008France's NRV-TV recently conducted an interview with DARK TRANQUILLITY's Mikael Stanne, SOILWORK's Björn "Speed" Strid and SONIC SYNDICATE's Richard Sjunnesson. Watch the chat at this location.
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.
SOILWORK recently parted ways with guitarist Ola Frenning. It was felt that Ola resisted the demands of the road and found it difficult to come to terms with the amount of touring scheduled.
SOILWORK's latest album, "Sworn To A Great Divide", is the band's fastest seller and the live demand for the band is growing. They intend to play everywhere and fulfill the album's potential.
Vocalist Björn "Speed" Strid says: "It was a very difficult decision to make because Ola has been our friend and bandmate for a very long time."
The decision will not affect any of SOILWORK's plans. Guitarist David Andersson is filling in on the band's Finnish/Baltic tour as well as the "Scum Of The Earth" U.S. tour with THROWDOWN. The band will then tour Australia, Japan and Southeast Asia before returning to Europe for festivals and a headlining U.S. tour in the fall.
