DARK TRANQUILLITY: Studio Update

October 26, 2006

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

"Just a quick update on the studio progress. We're now roughly three weeks into the recording of our 8th (or is it 9th? Depends on how you count...) full-length offering, and everything has more or less proceeded according to the plans.

"Drums were brutally nailed the first week, and we're currently working simultanously with guitars, bass, vocals and electronics at Martin B's own Rogue studio, enabling the songs to gradually develop from their embryonic skeleton structures into fully equipped carriers of oblivion and pestilence.

"Producer Tue Madsen was here during the first days of the process and did a great job setting up the basic sound for all the instruments. When everything is recorded, the material will be taken to his Antfarm studio in Denmark for the final mixing and mastering, after which we'll let you in on some further info regarding the contents the album."

As previously reported, an 11-minute audio interview with DARK TRANQUILLITY frontman Mikael Stanne, conducted recently by Andrew Haug of Triple J's "Full Metal Racket" (based in Australia),can be downloaded at this location (5 MB). A video clip of DARK TRANQUILLITY performing a new song, entitled "Where Death Is Most Alive", live in Melbourne, Australia on September 19 has been posted online at YouTube.com. Other songtitles set to appear on the new CD include "Blind at Heart", "The Lesser Faith", "InsignifiCunt" and "The Plunge"."

DARK TRANQUILLITY completed a North American tour earlier in the year with OPETH, THE DEVIN TOWNSEND BAND and DEVILDRIVER 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.
