Interview by Tarja Virmakari

For the release of DARK TRANQUILLITY‘s tenth album “Construct”, a couple of weeks ago, Metal Shock Finland‘s CEO Tarja Virmakari had a chance to have a sympathetic chat with their vocalist Mikael Stanne for Italian Truemetal.it. The opportunity proved to be useful not only to talk about the new album (out today on May 27th via Century Media Records) of the legendary Swedish melodic death metal band, but also to reveal some juicy curiosity about the past and the future of the band. Due to Jeff Hanneman‘s death only a couple of days before the interview, Mikael wanted to give his tribute to this great musician: “It’s a very sad thing and we will miss him very much, not only as a talented musician but also as a man. “He was just a fantastic dude, He had an amazing talent and he is responsible for some of the most important thrash songs of all time that have influenced the whole world of metal.”
