Though the times are still rather trying in the entertainment industry, the tours are still getting announced which is wonderful. Now the latest scoop comes from Gothenburg Metal stalwarts Dark Tranquillity. Read on down below to their full tour announcement.
The Press Release:
Swedish melodic death metal pioneers DARK TRANQUILLITY announces their North American Moments 2022 Tour. The band will be joined by special guests Kataklysm and Nailed To Obscurity. Tickets go on sale starting Friday, November 12th at 10AM local time.
Just last year, the band released their seventh studio album Moment. The album is available in the following formats and can be ordered, HERE.
Moment is DARK TRANQUILLITY’s triumphant return after over four years since their Swedish Grammy-nominated album, Atoma, but the time between was creative, innovative, and adventurous. With the new release, the band won a Swedish Grammy and welcomed two top-tier guitarists—Christopher Amott (ex-Arch Enemy) and Johan Reinholdz (Nonexist). Moment is a stunning cluster of songs that not only push Dark Tranquillity’s boundaries outward but also strongly typify the Swedes’ sonic fingerprint. Recorded at Nacksving Studios and Rogue Music by Martin Brändström and then mixed/mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios, Moment is a riveting yet challenging journey from start to finish.
DARK TRANQUILLITY is Mikael Stanne (vocals), Martin Brändström (electronics), Johan Reinholdz (guitars), and Christopher Amott (guitars).
