Swedish melodic metal legends Dark Tranquillity have announced that they will be releasing their latest album Construct on May 27th in Europe (May 28th in the US) via Century Media Records. This album will be the followup to 2010′s We Are The Void. The band has also released the track list, cover art, and a trailer, all of which can be seen below.

The band comments on the new album, “The selected few people that so far have been granted the privilege of hearing the full album are uniformingly convinced that ‘Construct’ is the strongest and most exciting D.T. album in a long time, and who are we to disagree? While still bearing the unmistakable mark of the dark tranquillity, the record is probably our most different and diverse offering since 1999′s ‘Projector’. For now, we’re pleased to share the track-list, trailer and sleeve design with you, but the first musical preview will appear in the near future.”

Dark Tranquillity has long been a band I have enjoyed and they were also one of the first major interviews I did for BD. Therefore, they’ll always have a special place in my heart! READ MORE

Swedish melodic metal band Dark Tranquillity have announced that they will be releasing Construct, their 10th studio album, on May 25th in N. America via Century Media Records. This will be the follow up to 2010′s We Are The Void (review).

The band comments: “Greetings, Darklings! After having played over 200 shows in every corner of the world in support of the ‘We Are The Void’ album, it’s time to focus inwards and lock ourselves up in the studio. Months and months of hard songwriting work has paid off, and the recording sessions will start early this year. Further details will be announced in due time, but for now we can reveal that the album will be entitled ‘Construct’ and that we’re very excited to have Jens Bogren (Paradise Lost, Opeth, Katatonia) taking care of the mix.

I’m a huge fan of Dark Tranquillity. Their last album, We Are The Void (review here), took a few spins to really grow on me but now I’m very happy blasting it at high volumes to piss off my neighbors. Well now there is a ‘CD/DVD tour edition‘ of said album that has extra songs and videos, including Zero Distance, whose video you can check after the jump. Enjoy!

Check out my video interview with Mikael from Dark Tranquillity HERE!
I got into Dark Tranquillity a few years ago when ‘Fiction’ came out. I was immediately blown away by the tight production, the ferocity of the songs and the catchy melodic energy that each song pushed forth. I went back a few albums and was surprised by the consistency of each album. ‘Character’ was just as solid an album and just as accessible. I was really becoming a huge fan of these guys and their songs were on constant rotation on my iPod.
