Swedish Melodic Death Metal pioneers DARK TRANQUILLITY are proud to present their final single “The Dark Unbroken” from their up – coming seventh studio album “Moment”, out November 20th via Century Media Records.

The band comments:

“Filmed in the heart of Gothenburg with renowned TV/film director Erik Eger (Thicker Than Water, One Hundred Years Of Evil) “The Dark Unbroken” shows the city as we’ve seen it this year and it reflects our longing to be back on a stage together. Shot in part at the beautiful Stora Teatern that has stood in the center of town since 1859, this serves as a transition to our up – coming streamed live show from the very same stage on the 21st of November. More info on this to follow, until then, enjoy “The Dark Unbroken”!”

“Moment” will be available in various formats and can be pre – ordered HERE

It’s been four years since the (Swedish) Grammy-nominated album, “Atoma,” but the time between was creative, innovative, and adventurous. The stalwarts welcomed two top-tier guitarists—Christopher Amott (ex-Arch Enemy) and Johan Reinholdz (Nonexist)—while writing a stunning cluster of songs that not only push Dark Tranquillity’s boundaries outward but also strongly typify the Swedes’ sonic fingerprint. Recorded at Nacksving Studios and Rogue Music by Martin Brändström and then mixed/mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios, “Moment” is a riveting yet challenging journey from start to finish. Join Dark Tranquillity as they unveil their defining moment!

MITOCHONDRIAL SUN, the electronic project of former Dark Tranquillity guitarist Niklas Sundin, has released a new single called “Arsia Mons”. The song is taken from an upcoming EP entitled “Bodies and Gold”, which will be released in July.

Watch the video here:

Niklas Sundin on new single:
“‘Arsia Mons’ offers a slightly warmer and more accessible sound than the previous MITOCHONDRIAL SUN songs, though the general style is similar. It’s a short and melancholic tune that’s indicative of the material on the upcoming EP. Enjoy!”

MITOCHONDRIAL SUN’s self titled debut album was released on February 14 via Argonauta records and features ten diverse songs of atmospheric and darkly cinematic music. It was mixed and mastered in the acclaimed Nacksving Studio in Gothenburg, Sweden with Anders Lagerfors at the helm and features a host of guest musicians.

MITOCHONDRIAL SUN, the electronic project of former Dark Tranquillity guitarist Niklas Sundin, has published a video for the track “The Void Begets” from the recently released debut album.

Watch the video here:

Niklas on the new song: “´The void begets´ is a calm and minimalistic song designed for reflection, so the accompanying video is also very basic. I wanted to convey a sense of wonder and exploration and maybe open a small window of escapism among the chaos of the current world situation.”

DARK TRANQUILLITY’s Founding Guitarist Niklas Sundin Quits The Band

DARK TRANQUILLITY founding guitarist Niklas Sundin has issued, via the band’s Official Facebook page, the following announcement:

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
