Artist: Dark Tranquility: mp3 download Genre(s): Metal: Death,Black Discography: Live In Gothenburg (Bootleg) Year: 1999 Tracks: 9 Towards the closing of the '90s, Scandinavian death metal -- or at least one branch of it -- began to develop into a more than accessible fusion of death-metal loudness, a bit of progressive-metal experiment, and more than traditional late-'70s/early-'80s British alloy, with its wily, groove-oriented riffs and twin-guitar pencil spark advance lines. Although the path was scarce confined to one topographic point, in that emplacement was an especially fecund fit centered in the Swedish urban center of Gothenburg, and Dark Tranquillity was one of its most outstanding practitioners. Formed in 1989, Dark Tranquillity honed their chops for a few years, and debuted on records in 1993 with the record album Skydancer; their batting order consisted of vocalist Anders Freiden, guitarists Niklas Sundin and Mikael Stanne, bassist Martin Hendriksson, and drummer Anders Jivarp. The band shuffled its rank for the 1995 followup EP Of Chaos and Eternal Night; upon Freiden's going away, Stanne took over lead vocals, and was replaced on guitar by Fredrik Johansson. This lineup remained intact for the full-length The Gallery, issued subsequently that year, which helped begin to build an international fan base. Follow-ups Enter Suicidal Angels (an EP) and the full-length The Mind's I appeared in 1997, marking a tightening of the group's wakeless into a more pack contrive of onslaught; in 1999, Dark Tranquillity at rest the Osmose judge in favour of a deal with Century Media, which was consummated with the discharge of the more than gothic-flavored Projector subsequently that year. Electronics manipulator Martin Brandstrom afterwards united the chemical group as an official member, and guitar instrumentalist Johansson at rest; bassist Hendriksson took over for him on guitar, and his bit was in turn filled by Michael Niklasson. Seaport was released in mid-2000, continuing the less traditional approach of its predecessor. |
