dark tranquility we are the void tour edition

In the fall we’re going on an extensive tour in the US and there’s a lengthy European tour in the works as well.

I’m really looking forward to visiting Dubai, because we’ve never played there before. We’ll tour Tunisia, Dubai and Istanbul as well.

Yes, we received plenty of offers to play on a lot of festivals. That notion gives me hope and solace.ĭo you have any tour dates booked already? Nothing lasts forever and that’s why I want to live life to the fullest before my time comes. They lose any sense of individuality when they’re a part of it, it’s almost like they simply fade away. It’s about people who desperately want to be a part of something bigger than themselves. You don’t seem to be too hopeful about mankind as a whole… At the end of the process I’m screaming about it in my microphone on stage in front of people, haha. When I witness that I get upset and I use it as a source of my inspiration for my lyrics. We have the tendency to be selfish and we don’t know even why. The utter ignorance and bigotry of some people really gets to me. I like people to be pure and unbiased and free any preconceptions when they encounter other people. When that was done Martin Brandström and I came in for the finishing touch. The bulk of ‘Construct’ was written by Anders, Niklas and Martin. This time around we wrote the album in the studio and not beforehand like we did with the previous albums. By the time the touring cycle for that album was completed we decided a different approach was necessary. Eventually the album came out great, but I don’t look back with fondness to that period. We were totally worn out after the writing sessions for We Are the Void, because of all the endless arguments, bickering and whatnot. Vocalist Mikael Stanne reveals to Ghost Cult the secret to a quarter of a century of success…Ĭonstruct is quite a different album in terms of sound and artistic direction. Construct, their latest album, marks quite a departure in their trademark sound. Dark Tranquility are one of the leading exponents of the Gothenburg melodic death metal movement and almost twenty five years after their inception the band is as vibrant as ever.
