Always good stuff coming from this band, looking forward to it!

Exactly.

I went bonkers with "Atoma", so I'm definitely looking forward to new sounds of DT.

I like how you reference their lowest rated album in here to say they will not be better than it ^^

Album votes are fools game, made by fan Boys and so on, it never says what is best.. All drinks carlsberg, but its one of worst beers in a universell, maybe 10 percent drings real beer and know what album is best

I hope you're not really believing what you say. Of course ratings do not "always" represent "exactly" the quality of albums, but you're not in a supermarket to buy beer here, you're in a dedicated beer shop. To stop the weird comparison here, people who come on metal storm have a minimum knowledge of metal, and when a huge band like Dark Tranquility has only one album rated under 8, there's a reason

eh, it was a joke since Anders is the vocalist for Skydancer and not Mikael. The album just sounds like a demo In Flames record to me but i've also never really liked that old school production sound.

DT has never disappointed so far unlike In Flames who have been releasing pretty meh albums over the last years. Above all seeing DT on stage is always a tremendous moment of shared passion! I cannot wait to see them live again!

In flsmes never had put good album out after jester, but dt noon will beat Crimson winds, but others are proper, each has some good songs

Atoma was solid but I'm hoping for a much more memorable album. Cheers

Founding DARK TRANQUILLITY guitarist, Niklas Sundin, quits.

Hi,

As some of you know, I've had a break from playing with D.T. since 2016 in order to focus on family life. With the "Atoma" touring cycle now completed and a new album recording about to commence, the time is right to officially announce my departure from the band.

I'm very grateful for the experiences that the past 30 years have brought. We founded D.T. as teenagers without any musical knowledge, and somehow our songs took us all across the world, helped establish a new subgenre of metal, brought us several Grammy nominations and - more importantly - had a positive and life-altering impact on people all over the globe. This is extremely humbling, and more than what most artists ever could ask for.

However, it's no secret that I always enjoyed the creative process more than the performance aspects of being in a band, and the required extensive touring held less and less appeal with every album. The band and the fans deserve members that want to be on the road as much as possible in order to keep the (forward) momentum going, and for this reason I prefer to step aside and direct my musical creativity towards other areas. I'll still be involved in the visual side of D.T. and am working on the cover illustration for the next album as we speak.

I send my warmest regards to the guys in the band, the incredible crew and of course to everyone that supported us over the past three decades. As for future musical endeavours, my electronic project Mitochondrial Sun released its debut album last month, and there are several other projects and collaborations (both metal and non-metal) in the pipeline. Onwards!

/Niklas
