New Dark Tranquillity Interview...

[Dmanx Pit]

I got the chance to do an email interview with Niklas Sundin for my site. So my shameless plug for it is in this thread. Thanks again, Niklas:

Realistically speaking, most of our current listeners were too young to be part of the underground circuit at the time, so it seems fair to give them a chance to listen to that material without having to resort to sloppily decoded mp3's or Ebay.

That's so liev!

What's the name of the "Sigh" album he said he's listening too? I'd like to check it out

I'm glad he said "most" because "some" of us were not too young. Some of us are older than the oldest band member. And some of us either had our heads under a rock or we were mostly listening to Grunge or Hair Metal or other stuff back in those days, instead.

TGFTI! <<< (Internet praise)

 

[rahvin]

i used to have my head against a rock, instead.

 

[hyena]

you never really enjoyed hair metal tho. more power to you.

explain! if you would please. thanks.

hyena: there was some good Hair Metal. just had to sift it out as with other genres and subgenres.

 

[rahvin]

pretty maids were hilarious and good. they were probably hair metal too. and vengeance, i guess.

 

[hyena]

do skid row count as hair metal? i loved them. still love some songs.

 

[Arch]

Yeah, I consider Skid Row as hair metal.

i dunno. hair metal is sometimes confused with glam (i think) but i don't think SR are or were glam. maybe just heavy metal.

Imaginary Sonicscape. That album is AMAZING! Sigh has got to be the most original and adventurous "black" metal band in history. (Though they are closer to doom metal in tempo and mood.)

There are some really funny things going on on the CD, like circus music interludes, an occasional jazz passage with raspy black metal vocals, babies laughing to Chopin (mixed together with seagulls screaming). But it all manages to be believable and beautiful somehow, rather than merely weird or comical, perhaps in part due to the great production values. Highly recommended.
