DT interview + live review @ Copenhagen 12.11.2008

[Petteri Pertola]

Hi all,

I had the chance to interview the Dark Tranquillity vocalist Mikael Stanne last week when they visited Copenhagen, the outcome of which can be seen at the link below:

I also wanted to share a link to a live review with the band as well:

A decent interview, thanks for sharing. There were a plenty of old questions all of us here knew the answers for already (the history of the Gothenburg-sound, how is Fiction different, etc.), but it was nice to have Mikael's opinion on the recent change in line-up.

One statement that made me raise my eyebrow was: "Critics and fans both argue that "Damage Done" is the best Dark Tranquillity album". Really?

While critics did perhaps praise Damage Done more than either Haven or Character, I always thought a rather large portion of the fans considered The Gallery the best DT album (I, too, was of that opinion until Fiction was released). And I'm pretty sure Fiction has been rated even higher than DD by most critics.
