On November 4th, 2016, DARK TRANQUILLITY will release their 11th album “Atoma” worldwide through Century Media Records and start their North American headlining tour.
The band is proud to present the first single and video for the song “The Pitiless”, and you can watch the official video below:
The band comments: “Selecting the first single from an album as diverse as Atoma is always a hard task, but we felt that “The Pitiless” gives a good representation of the general vibe of the material. It’s fast, melodic and with a sense of urgency that permeates the whole album. Enjoy!”
The video was filmed during their stay at the German Turock Open Air Festival 2016 in Essen by the director Dirk Behlau. The next video will be filmed by Vesa Ranta (ex-Sentenced drummer) in Northern Sweden and you can expect something very epic!
Atoma was recorded at Rogue Music in Gothenburg, the studio owned by D.T. keyboardist Martin Brändström. Mixing duties were handled by David Castillo, known for his work with bands such as Katatonia, Opeth and Candlemass. The striking cover artwork was once again created by the band’s guitarist Niklas Sundin.
North American fans can catch the band live this fall/winter. A European tour in early 2017 will be announced soon!

The band comments: “As a band, we always want our all our recordings – even the earliest ones – to be available to everyone that’s interested, so we’re please to announced that the re-mastered versions of “Skydancer” (1993) and “Of chaos and eternal night” (1995) now are released as invididual vinyl discs and a joint CD. Those who want to check out where it all begins should look no further.”On a more live-relatead note, DARK TRANQUILLITY is getting ready to embark on the “Uniformity” European tour (suppored by Amoral, Acyl and The Lehmann Project), which will kick off in Berlin in two weeks. “We’re fine tuning the setlist as we speak and are looking forward to delivering a great string of shows with some surprises thrown in. See you there!”
