In these uncertain times all we can do is try to channel this frustration, fear, and anxiety into music and words.

"With us this time we have two fantastic musicians who have been on tour with us for quite some time and we are now proud to announce as proper real members of Dark Tranquillity; Chris Amott and Johan Reinholdz. They have been incredible additions to our live shows and now we cannot wait to hear what their collective musicianship and skill will add to this album.
"Stay tuned as we will update you on the progress of the recording and stays safe out there!"

One of the most consistent band ever. Can we expect a drastic change in attitude in studio? Can we expect a drastic change in sound? Can we expect a drastic change in songwriting? I think DT will be more refined.

Written by MyNameJeff on 30.03.2020 at 23:22 I've been a fan since Project (1999) and I still don't get why We Are The Void should be called their worst. It's different even though I cannot tell why yet I love it. DT never disappoints.

Written by s_t_s on 31.03.2020 at 13:26 I never could figure it out either, its also one of my favorites! Love the darker tone on it and Iridium is one of my all-time favorite DT songs, even if its one of their slowest. Anyway, back on topic, can't wait to hear new music with the new members!

Everybody has their favourites and their "worst" albums, and while We Are The Void, in my opinion, is not their best album, they are one of the few bands that really do not have a bad album. Some are more different, but any, any album they put out is at least solid and decent, for me even much more than that. I for certain will miss Nicklas and Martin, but I think Johan and Chriss are really awesome additions to the band.

Written by Melkor on 04.05.2020 at 22:58 It depends on how much they influence the songwriting process. They've been playing material previously written without their input. It would be interesting to sit in on their writing to see how their personal styles mesh with the rest of the band.

Written by Troy Killjoy on 05.05.2020 at 00:39 They have played live with them on various occasions and understand their style, but bringing their own "masala" would create something we might not have heard before. And being DT im pretty they will do a good job as they have in the past. Quite stoked. They are already composing as we speak.
