    I'm New -------- If this is you, post here.

    Hey all. I've already been posting for a bit but just discovered this thread today. I am a metal-loving psychiatrist here in the States. Obviously, Dark Tranquillity is one of my favorites or else I wouldn't be posting and/or visiting here. Though I must admit that DT has only been a recent...

    Are You Afraid?

    I have mild arachnophobia, in that larger spiders and/or scorpions frighten me to some extent. That's about all that I can think of. psychdoc

    DT vs Opeth.

    IMHO, Opeth is more about setting the mood, or atmosphere (hence atmospheric), and many of their songs are more like individual symphonies with separate movements. DT is more straightforward. That does not mean that they are any less technical or musically gifted than Opeth; it's just a...

    Sorry guys, I like all of the tunes that you think are overrated. Ditto on the whole DT being woefully underrated. psychdoc

    DT vs Opeth.

    Personally, I love them both. Different styles within the musical construct of metal/death metal though. Opeth is more "progressive", experimental, and atmospheric, while DT is more concise in song structure but also more overtly melodic alternating with precision brutality. Equally great stuff...

    Jaxx 2/23

    Hey everyone. What an incredible show Thursday night! :worship: It pointed out what a shame it is that an incredible band like Dark Tranquillity plays for such a small crowd when an awful, crap band like Korn can fill a large arena. This just illustrates the sad state of affairs of music in...

    How did you come across Dark Tranquillity?

    Hey everyone. I'm new here. I had known about DT for awhile, but I never heard them until I bought tickets to see Opeth w/ DT and DTB in Towson. In preparation for the concert, I listened to some song clips on Amazon a month ago. I liked the stuff so much, that I bought "Character" the day...
