Dark Tranquillity Construct

2013, Twenty years since Dark Tranquillity burst onto the metal scene with SKYDANCER, the Gothenburg quintet prepares to release studio album number ten. CONSTRUCT is the sound of perseverance. It's also proof of the band's ability to reinvent itself and stay relevant. This record is quintessential Dark Tranquillity while giving a fresh spin to the trademark sound. After four albums that have walked a similar path, CONSTRUCT marks the beginning of a new era for the band. Extra fat was trimmed - songs were sharpened. The ten compositions that make up CONSTRUCT are the the most well-crafted and striking collection of songs the band has ever produced. The writing process has changed, as has the musical approach. These tunes offer an urgency that comes from melody and emotional depth rather than intricate riffing - while still conjuring up killer guitar work. The new album shows that the death metal pioneers are more vital than ever and continues to push the boundaries of the genre.
