DARK TRANQUILLITY will make their triumphant return to the U.S. this week alongside Opeth and The Devin Townsend Band. The trek, which kicks off on February 15th and runs through March 21st, will be the group's second U.S. run in support of Character, their highly acclaimed latest album that brought these originators of the famed Gothenburg scene back to the forefront of the genre. Character, recorded once again at Studio Fredman (In Flames, Arch Enemy), has also been praised as their most groundbreaking yet as it retains all of the band's classic elements and thought-provoking lyrical content while blending the perfect amount of unrelenting aggression and melody.
Mikael Stanne (vocals) further describes his excitement over the upcoming tour: "Well, the packing is now complete and we are heading back to the U.S. These six degenerates from the foggiest, snowiest and coldest part of Gothenburg will cross over the Atlantic tomorrow and we are bringing the metal! This will be a great one for sure, touring with the ever amazing Opeth, the one and only Devin Townsend and Devildriver. Doesn't get much better than that. We have been plotting and scheming about setlists and such and we believe we have something very special in store for you all, both for the supporting dates and especially for the headline shows. See you there folks."
After mesmerizing crowds last year with Soilwork, Hypocrisy and Mnemic, the group are now poised to further solidify their spot as one of the genre's most aggressive and exciting live acts. Look below for the complete list of dates that also includes a few special headlining performances.
The band will also be available for phoners and in-person interviews at every show so if you are interested please feel free to get in touch.
