Dark Tranquility Information

|
'Dark Tranquillity' is a melodic death metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden. Starting in 1989 under the name Septic Broiler, they have had a fairly stable line-up from the start, unlike many bands from the genre. In 1994 Anders Fridén, Dark Tranquillity's original lead vocalist, left the band to join In Flames. Mikael Stanne, formerly playing rhythm guitar, then became the vocalist, with Johansson taking over the guitars. Mikael Stanne also recorded vocals with the band In Flames. However, contrary to popular belief, he was never a full member of that band; he was a session vocalist and sang to help out the members of In Flames. In 1998, with the release of the album Projector, Johannson left the band. Keyboardist Martin Bré¤ndström and bassist Michael Nicklasson were added to the line-up, and Henriksson switched to the guitar. This album was nominated for a Swedish Grammy Award. The band is currently signed to Century Media Records.
