I had heard a song or two from Skydancer, but I recall I wasn't too impressed back in the day. However, when a friend of mine got The Gallery in late 1995 I borrowed it from him and copied it on my old tape-recorder (I was a poor student back then and couldn't afford to buy the album). Next year...

(Whoa, Oav posting on the forum! :hotjump: ) Well, I have not checked your current setlist on purpose as I want to be surprised (yeah, it's silly) when you come to Finland in October, but here are some humble suggestions of old / rare songs that I'd like to hear live one day: - Something...

And this is why I dislike uninformed speculation - it leads people to draw erroneous conclusions. By the time they recorded We Are the Void, Antonsson had already been in the band for well over a year and had played lots of shows with them; he remained with the band for three more years after...

As you wish. However, if you ever decide to return to this topic, I suggest you start by explaining what you mean by "takeover" and having "a final word on everything" so that people don't mistakenly assume you use those phrases like, you know, the rest of the world does. I'm not arguing with...

Perhaps it is because of the confusing way you express yourself: on one hand you seem to make reasonable points about what you like / dislike about the band's output, on the other hand you seem to throw wild assumptions with little basis in reality - even when these contradict each other. I have...

I read it all and it is clear Stanne was not talking about Antonsson at all in the part you quoted. He was already (on his way) out of the band, yet they were reluctant to start recording regardless. Mind you, this was not the first time that happened - they've often commented about the arduous...

Once again, I think you're mis-interpreting what was said. I don't think it's either Antonsson or Henriksson Stanne is talking about here - he's talking about the band as a whole. They've argued about the arrangements since the Septic Broiler days, sometimes more and sometimes less. You're...

I suppose I could go and correct those song-writing credits some day, but I'm not particularly skilled with wikipedia and and I'm very busy with my work these days, so if someone bothers to do all the menial work I offer to double-check the results. I'm not sure if you wanted an answer, but...

It's the tracklisting on the album back-cover that's wrong - those songs are listed in the correct order inside the album booklet. However, the song-writing credits on that wiki-article could hardly be any more incorrect. I know wikipedia should not be blindly trusted, but this goes beyond a...

Yeah, it appears to be one of those songs that kind of immediately grasp your attention, yet still need to be listened many, many times before they truly open. I've listened to it more than thirty times now and all I can really say is that I love the atmosphere, the drumming and the clean...

I'll join the chorus. If there's one thing that could possibly revive this forum, it's more in-depth discussion on DT songs/albums. You know, instead of all the other stuff that we once discussed here and which has now moved on to social media. -Villain

So, with Daniel gone, who plays the bass on the album? Martin H? -Villain

I disagree on almost every level. First of all, I think you're misreading Martin's role: he's not the one who ultimately decides what the band does (they've always said there's a simple democratic process within the band for that) - he's just the one who has the authority to get the others to...

The comparison might've been more valid when this thread was started over 10 years ago. ... then again, perhaps not. -Villain

I've heard (much) worse. If you want to sound more like Stanne, you might try to get a bit meaner at the end of every word or line. Mikael puts a lot of effort at the end of every growl, expressing anger / sadness / frustration / whatever he desires in a very peculiar way - in comparison you...
