Significantly more than 1000 things you've noticed about Dark Tranquillity -

[RampageSword]

446 - A swedish to english dictionnary was one of the keys to Skydancer's very advanced lyrics and use of old english and uncommon words.

447 - Martin Henriksson's handshake could break bones. (I'm starting to believe the guy is becoming a swedish Chuck Norris)

Martin B is a great guy.

 

[incendo]

448 - Niklas have had translated lyrics from swedish to english for some other bands.

 

[RampageSword]

^Namely, In Flames

 

[Magrathean]

Whoops! Okay, okay, pretend i didn't say anything!

445 - This thread tends to have many repetitions.

There.

 

[Magrathean]

449 - Spelling isn't exactly the "strong point" of most DT forum members. :Spin:

:Smug:

450- DT fans cannot think of anything more to put in the "1000 things you've noticed about Dark Tranquillity -" thread.

451- And we even haven't reached number 500.

 

[Magrathean]

452 - We will reach 1000 soon.

453 - It won't be tomorrow, though.

454 - Not the day after tomorrow, either.

455 - The only techno track they've released is Archetype.

456 - That track sucks.

457 - We're close to 500 now.

458 - If we continue like this (i.e. having random sprees in which we post 58476087 totally senseless and useless facts), we'll certainly reach 1000.

459 - We should get a prize for reaching 1000.

460 - They recently toured Canada.

461 - Before that, they toured the USA.

462 - They played in Cardiff, Wales (my hometown) last year.

463 - Niklas plays guitar.

464 - There are 16 letters in DT's name.

 

[RampageSword]

465 - Some forum members have uncotrollable posting binges

 

[Zack]

466: I don't know the story behind archetype

 

[Magrathean]

467 - Archetype is the single most controversial, surprising, unlike-DT song DT has ever made.

 

[marduk1507]

468 - Its from the Enter Suicidal Angels ep I believe

 

[incendo]

469 - One of the songs they covered is "22 Acacia Avenue", from Iron Maiden.

470 - Another one is "Lady In Black", from Mercyful Fate.

471 - Niklas has designed more than 20 bands' album face, including "Arch Enemy, In Flames, Sentenced, Gardenian..."

 

[RampageSword]

471 - (continued)...Detonation....

 

[incendo]

472 - In Insanity's Crescendo, female vocals were performed by "Sara Svensson".

473 - In Undo Control, female vocals were performed by "Johanna Andersson".

474 - In Skydancer album, female vocals were performed by "Anna Kajsa Avehall".

Now, I'm a bit closer to heaven (1000).

 

[Magrathean]

475 - Another song they covered is Metallica's My friend of misery.

476 - Yet another cover they made is Sacred Reich's Sacred Reich.

477 - Finally, the only other cover they made and recorded is Kreator's Bringer of torture.

478 - They released all of their covers in the The gallery reissue.

479 - Before that, they'd released them randomly in special / country-specific editions of The gallery and in metal compilation cds.

480 - They used to release their older albums as cassettes.

481 - Every single album by them (at least up to DD, i believe) has been (illegally?) made into a cassette by russian people.

 

[hyena]

482 - I am under the impression that the forementioned Sara Svensson is some kind of relative (sister maybe?) to Alf Svensson, who used to sing for At the Gates. She also sings female leads on Oxiplegatz's great and underappreciated record 'Fairytales'.

 

[GONE Ridin' Hood]

483- They now release their albums on cd .

484- You can download DT from the swedish iTunes program.

485- You can also do it form the US version.

486- Each song will cost you $0.99

487- Or 9.00Kr if you live in Sweden.

488- From the US version, you can download 45 songs.

489- All of them are from the Character, Haven, Damage Done and Projector album.

490- You can also download the cover they did of Metallica "My friend of Misery".

491- Both Dark Tranquillity and Metallica have "double Ls" on their names.

492- From the Swedish version you can download 34 songs.

493- It has all the albums of the US ver. except Character.

494- The Projector album costs 90.00Kr on the swedish ver. of iTunes

495- They label the album as "alternative"

496- I think that is rather funny :Spin: .

497- The longest song from those albums is "At Loss for Words"

498. It lasts 6:42.

499- I do not know what to put to get to the 500th fact.

500- Yay we did it! 500 facts!!!

501- Most of the facts listed here are rather useless.

 

[Magrathean]

502 - Actually, most of the facts listed here aren't really facts.

503 - Most of the ones who are facts are rather useless.

504 - I was about to write "405" (dyslexic? :\ I've never been dyslexic, so why now?).

505 - We're now on the second half of our quest to reach 1000 "facts" about DT.

506 - I believe this half will be more difficult than the first one.

507 - That is because 500 of all DT facts have already been said, leaving us 500 less options.

508 - Actually, it's more like four-hundred-and-ninety-something, since some facts were repeated.

509 - If we continue to divide facts into two like this, we won't have such a hard time.

510 - Only 490 more to go.

 

[Magrathean]

511 - There are diverse disagreements as to which song(s) is/are the best opener(s) and closer(s) for DT gigs.

512 - At least one band member is an atheist.

513 - That would be Niklas.

514 - I'm sure fact #513 has been posted before.

515 - I really don't care.

516 - That's why i posted it again.

517 - DT forum members used to have an alternative forum at http://p072.ezboard.com/bthederefuge for the times when UM was down.

518 - http://p072.ezboard.com/bthederefuge isn't used anymore.

519 - In fact, it hasn't been used for a year and a half.

520 - DT's forum at UM has an official thread reviver (whose post count is one post away from hitting 3K) and a local troll (who disappeared a while ago and hasn't been seen since).

Was it a good phorum? Meaning, did it had cool lads like us? :Spin:

Happy 3000 post Undo
