Dark Tranquillity: : premieres "Uniformity" music video on Metal Hammer UK

Century Media Records — Mon, 13 May 2013 09:10:58 GMT

Sweden's DARK TRANQUILLITY will release their new album "Construct" on May 27th in Europe via Century Media Records. In anticipation of this release, the band has now teamed up with Metal Hammer UK to launch the video for the new Single "Uniformity". This video-clip was produced and directed by Revolver Film Company and Patric Ullaeus, who previously made the videos for In Flames, Hammerfall and Lacuna Coil. To watch "Uniformity", please click HERE! The band comments about the video for "Uniformity": After the introspective "For broken words" and the uptempo riffing of "The science of noise", it's time to showcase the more anthemic aspects of the new album with the song "Uniformity". In contrast to the more experimental promo videos we made last year, we wanted the "Uniformity" clip to be an intimate and genuine performance video. Nothing but the music itself and the band members playing in the rehearsal room. For this, we hired renowned director Patric Ullaeus, and we're very happy to share the result with you. Stand up and be counted! For another preview of "Construct", be sure to check out the following previously released album tracks: "For Broken Words" "The Science Of Noise" Read on for a few international reviews of the critically acclaimed "Construct": "Dark Tranquillity have long been stalwarts of the Gothenburg death metal scene, and on CONSTRUCT, their tenth album, they're exploring a more varied approach than before." Terrorizer (UK) "CONSTRUCT doesn't change the musician's formula for success and shows what adapted songwriting can effects: Hits Hits Hits..."

Chapeau!" Orkus (GER) "CONSTRUCT is an album of maturity. Wisdom and serenity are acquired with power and concision. DT has never justified his name that strongly! Awesome!" Rock Hard (France), Album Of The Month "Probably the purest Dark Tranquillity album to date." Up Magazine (Netherlands), 85/100 "...an album of style, substance and accomplishment." Decibel Magazine (US), 9/10 "...DT continue to expertly hit that sweet spot between encephalectomic brutality and orgasm-inducing catchiness." Metal Sucks.net (US) "Construct" is available in the following formats in Europe: Limited 2CD Box Set (feat. CD Digipak, extended booklet, Bonus CD incl. 2 brand new studio tracks), Gatefold LP incl.

Dark Tranquillity: : parts ways with bassist Daniel Antonsson

Century Media Records — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 01:26:44 GMT
Shortly before beginning the studio sessions for the upcoming 10th studio album "Construct", the band amicably parted ways with bassist Daniel Antonsson. The decision has been growing for a while, and the main reason is that Daniel wanted to focus on his own musical projects as well as working more in his recording studio. Being first and foremost a guitarist, he felt that the playing bass in a full-time band didn't allow him much time for his main instrument and true passion. With this in mind, he chose to follow his heart and step aside at this point instead of committing to another album and an intense touring cycle that would leave little room for other activities. We thanks Daniel for his years in the band - filled with great shows and amazing memories and experiences in all corners of the world - and wish him all the best with his future musical career. Daniel's statement: I want to thank the guys in Dark Tranquillity and the amazing D.T. fans around the world for the last four years of touring around the globe! It�s been awesome! Also a huge hug to the DT crew and all of the people working with us. I will miss you all very much! You are like family to me and I hope we will meet again soon! But...now is the time for me to follow my heart and again focus on my guitar playing and being a recording engineer/producer in my studio Gothenburg Rock Studios. We will meet again on the road or in the studio - that's for sure! Horns up and Cheerz! /Daniel. www.facebook.com/GothenburgRockStudios www.gothenburgrockstudios.se Stay tuned for updates on the band's new bassist and look forward to DARK TRANQUILLITY's new album "Construct" out May 27th in Europe and May 28th in North America!

Dark Tranquillity: : European Tour cancelled

Century Media Records — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 05:58:08 GMT
Sweden's DARK TRANQUILLITY have just announced the cancellation of their upcoming European tour. The band comments: "It is with great frustration that we have to announce the cancellation of our participation in the planned European tour "Metal Attack Over Europe". The reasons are several. The main tour promoter has failed in making the necessary practical and logistical arrangements needed for the tour to happen. Due to the lack of reliable information and substandard promotion, ticket sales have been surprisingly low. We can't just embark on a one-month, five-band trek risking to be met by closed venues or not being 100% sure that the necessary arrangements for the shows even to happen are in place. The fact that Warbringer had to cancel didn't help the situation. We understand that many people will be disappointed, and so are we. Rest assured that our booking agent has been doing his outmost to save the tour and try to sort things out, but the sad reality is that we're left with no choice but to cancel. We are truly sorry about this situation." DARK TRANQUILLITY online: www.darktranquillity.com www.facebook.com/dtofficial www.myspace.com/dtofficial twitter.com/dtofficial

Dark Tranquillity: : re-sign with Century Media Records

Century Media Records — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 01:21:50 GMT
Century Media Records have renewed their deal for the 3rd time with Swedish Melodic Death Metal legends, DARK TRANQUILLITY. The influential band from Gothenburg released their first album on Century Media Records in 1999 and since then have released 6 albums plus 2 DVDs and a handful of special releases. Jens Prueter, Head Of A&R at Century Media Europe: "I start to believe in Numerology. 13 years ago Dark Tranquillity signed their first contract with Century Media Records. Friday the 13th of April I met Mikael Stanne and Niklas Sundin for the Roadburn festival at the lovely 013 venue in Tilburg to receive the signed copies of their 3rd Century Media contract for 3 more albums. The 3 of us had about 13 beers to celebrate it. It's amazing how Dark Tranquillity are able to express their legacy as one of the original godfathers of the Melodic Death Metal / Gothenburg sound without sounding outdated today. They always managed to stick to their roots and develop to new heights at the same time. Looking forward to the next album in 2013. Cheers!" The band comments: "After such a long history together, we're more confident than ever that Century media is the perfect working partner for Dark Tranquillity. In a climate where a lot of record labels are weighed down by cynicism or have just plain given up in the face of the rapidly changing industry climate, Century Media are still enthusiastic and forward thinking and take huge pride in releasing great music that matters. Here's to another 13 years!" A musical phenomenon born back in the early 90's, Swedish Melodic death metal has had a huge impact on all kinds of modern heavy music and along with country mates In Flames and At The Gates, Gothenburg's DARK TRANQUILLITY (founded in 1989) have defined the genre like no one else. With a unique sense for combining catchy, hard hitting metal with daring progressive elements they have developed a trademark sound hailed by fans and critics alike and have built a worldwide army of loyal supporters over the past 20 years! The last album "We Are The Void" came out in early 2010, followed by extensive US touring and one of their most successful European headlining tours with their label mates Insomnium in late 2010.
