Swedish melodic death metal pioneers Dark Tranquillity triumphantly
return with “Fiction” in April 2007, a scorching effort that will
undoubtedly add an exhilarating new chapter to the genre’s storied
history. The album was mixed by the acclaimed Tue Madsen (Himsa, The
Haunted) and encompasses all of the elements on which the band built
their career: thought-provoking lyrics, shredding guitar work,
captivating melodies and sheer brutality.
This offering is perhaps best
compared to a modern-day version of the group’s revered classics “The
Gallery” and “The Mind’s I”, only with more intensity behind it. The
blueprint of melodic death metal is now at your fingertips.
