Swedish melodic death metallers DARK TRANQUILLITY have released the fifth promotional video from their latest album, “We Are The Void”, that came out in early 2010. The “In My Absence” clip was filmed by the bandmembers themselves on the road, with guitarist Niklas Sundin taking care of the editing/post-production duties. Additional live footage was provided by Anders Björler (THE HAUNTED, AT THE GATES) and Nikolas Pegler.

Commented Sundin: “I wanted to create a live video that would capture the energy of our show both from the audience’s perspective as well as from the stage. To accomplish this, we headed out on our recent Europe/Russia tours equipped with a GoPro HD camera, which was mounted on various objects (guitar necks, vocal microphone, member’s bodies etc.) on most of the shows. Despite probably looking pretty weird for those in the crowd that noticed the little device, we arrived home with a lot of interesting footage, and after a lot of editing we’re happy to present the final result: A clip for ‘In My Absence’, filled with an energy and closeness out of the ordinary. Enjoy!”
