DARK TRANQUILLITY: Turkish Tour Dates Announced

September 9, 2009

Swedish melodic death metallers DARK TRANQUILLITY will embark on their "first proper tour through Turkey" in December. The band says, "The response to our 2001 and 2008 shows in Istanbul was nothing short of amazing, so we're very much looking forward to experiencing some other cities as well."

The dates are as follows:

Dec. 02 - Maçka Küçükçiftlik Park - Istanbul, Turkey
Dec. 03 - Ooze Venue - Izmir, Turkey
Dec. 04 - 222 Park - Eskisehir, Turkey
Dec. 05 - Ankara Saklikent - Ankara, Turkey

DARK TRANQUILLITY will release its new DVD, "Where Death Is Most Alive", on October 26 in Europe and November 17 in North America via Century Media Records.

Check out the cover artwork by Niklas Sundin below. Also available is a trailer for the DVD.

DARK TRANQUILLITY entered the studio on August 28 to begin recording its ninth album for an early 2010 release via Century Media Records. The band previously said, "We'll keep the recording setup completely in-house this time. Drums will be tracked in Daniel Antonsson's [bass] studio, while the remaining instruments will be immortalized in Martin Brändström's [electronics] newly renovated Rogue music facilities. The mixing duties will once again be handled by Tue Madsen in his Antfarm studio in Denmark.

"As for the music itself, it's a bit too early to delve into details, but the material feels diverse and fresh and covers all the facets of the DARK TRANQUILLITY sound. Those who are familiar with our songwriting process know that we always keep re-arranging and experimenting with the material until the recording starts, and while we currently have the basic foundations for around 10 songs, many things are still open. The final result is likely to surprise ourselves as well as you people.

"Some tentative song titles are 'I Am The Void', 'Zero Distance', 'The Burden Of Love Alive', 'Archangelsk' and 'Memories In Reverse', though these are subject to change as usual."
