BIOGRAFIA
"Damage Done" is the much-anticipated sixth full length album
from Gothenburg's own Dark tranquillity, a band that has become an institution
within the realms of extreme Metal, seeing that they deserve full credit
for originally kicking off the stylistic wave of melodic Death Metal which
has become established and frenetically followed all throughout the world
in the meantime.
During their 13 years of existence, Dark tranquillity have always tried
to constantly expand their musical borders and stray away from already-conquered
territory, and "Damage Done" is certainly no exception to their own artistic
goal, being a truly diverse affair showcasing a host of new approaches
and inspirational sources. Compared to the electronically-tinged approach
of "Haven" (2000) or the laid-back, lush melancholia of the (Swedish) Grammy-nominated
entity "Projector" (1999), "Damage Done" is more technical and intense
in feel; a direct and solid sound, yet with lots of complex arrangements
and sonic structures emerging from below the surface.
While not by any means being a sheepish "back to the roots" album,
some of the aggressive aesthetics present in Dark tranquillity's earlier
work have resurfaced, giving birth to some faster passages, pounding and
inherently catchy throughout. From the relentless thrash-o-rama of opener
"Final Resistance" to the sombre closing tones of "Ex Nihilo" (the first
instrumental in the band's history), "Damage Done" runs the full gamut
and showcases a hungry and confident band that presents absolutely no signs
of musical exhaustion or willingness to descend from their position as
a leading creative force in the metal scene.
Recorded with long term producer Fredrik Nordström at Gothenburg's
famous Studio Fredman facilities, the masterfully written and flawlessly
executed eleven new creations on "Damage Done" are determined to fully
please the passionate melodic Death Metal following as well as bringing
new listeners into the very unique and charismatic sound of Dark tranquillity.
Watch out for the band to embark on a massive string of tours following
the release of this masterpiece of a new album: The damage is done, my
friends!
