Next Tranquillity album

[marduk1507]

I think they would just go more surreal weirdness like Sundin's work, but in music.

I definitely hope so. But that would mean losing the positions they acquired with DD and Character, so I have my strong doubts.

 

[Magrathean]

If this is what you mean, then, as long as they make great music, does it really matter if they're #1 or #500 on metal charts?

 

[6 Stringed Fingers]

Yes, to spread the word of their good music, other than that, no.

Definitely not to me and I believe neither to the guys. My post wasnt about charts, but about the new fans they got with those 2 albums and the tours. An avant-garde or surreal album would confuse these new guys, cause they dont really know the band for long and wont probably be able to digest such a change, and it would probably mean a commercial retreat. I sincerely believe that these things dont really influence their work, but you know we both share our opinion about the last 2 pieces - its up to the guys I guess.

 

[Magrathean]

Aha, it's indeed up to them, and i agree with your post, but i'd rather see new fans stop being fans than see DT going further down inthe shitty spiral they got themselves into with their last two pieces.

AFAIK, DT always went through 2 releases trends. "The Gallery / the Mind's I", "Projector / Haven" and "Damage Done / Character". My conclusion is that if they think the way I think they do. They have now exploited this pattern enough and got somewhat bored of it. I figure they are now ready to move on to something new and different. Also, I might be totally wrong, but I don't care.

 

[Magrathean]

What about S? That one didn't have a "partner", so to speak. And i don't think P and H are that similar.

 

[RampageSword]

About Projector and Haven, they are not similar but they do have the same slower and darker ambiance/feel. Also, Skydancer was their first full-length and its style somewhat links to their earlier productions and Of Chaos... This can sum up the same quantity of work as two full-lengths.

 

[Magrathean]

About P and H, i somewhat agree, so i'll let that pass. About S and their demos/eps/whatever, :Smug:.

 

[RampageSword]

Well whatever if you want, you still have to agree that all these releases carry a much heavier and classical-influenced songwriting. More in the vicinity of old At The Gates stuff if you want...

 

[Magrathean]

Well, yes. You might even want to include Septic Broiler in there.

 

[RampageSword]

I was thinking that too.


btw, where did your sig go?

 

[Magrathean]

Hahaha... Well, i currently like this one better. Besides, it was time to change it.

Charting their way to top...

I think I've already said this before, but I believe The gallery/The Mind's I and Projector/Haven/Damage Done/Character. I could refine it from there, but I think that's general enough for me. As for Skydancer, it goes in with the Sceptic Broiler stuff, even though it's much different. I just like to group them very generally, not to specific

 

[Magrathean]

Ah, so this is a grouping thread?
Septic Broiler + Trail + Moonclad
S + Of chaos
The gallery + Enter + TMI
P
H
DD + LTA + C

Thats an interesting observation. Now that I think of it, you are right.

 

[GONE Ridin' Hood]

Acoustic guitar solos a la "rumba flamenca" style like in "Mine is the grandeur..." would be awesome.

With classical music. And clear voices. And harsch ones too. With a female companion (that goes without talking he).

So it would come out like...:

Flamenco-symphonic-electro-Gothenburg-Metal

 

[Zack]

Sounds almost as cool as mathmetal....

 

[RampageSword]

Flamenco-symphonic-electro-Gothenburg-Metal

I think uneXpect already did that....except you'd have to trade electro for black.

And was it good...?

Maybe DT should add some US country music (just kidding ).
