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

[plintus]

116. Members of the band don't have sex with each other.

EMP: If a bigger part of the band knows each other for so long time and there is such a big understanding among each other, isn't there sometimes jealousy of each other's girlfriends?
Niklas: Maybe, but there's a critical difference: the band members don't have sex with each other. Ok seriously: everyone in our environment knows, that we have to invest much time into the band. i don't think, that our privacy suffers from that.

[Magrathean]

127. They used female vocals from time to time throughout the Skydancer-Projector era.

 

[plintus]

//a short note about that audience on the DVD - to the best of my knowledge, Polish metalheads are more into raw death metal (or just listen to Vader or Behemoth), melodic death like dt wouldn't be common to listen to there, thus - no solid fan base => dead audience.

If you go any more East from there, it's the same and even worse: dt and if are nothing more than euro-pop to those... but oh well.

 

[plintus]

128. dt was nominated fro Swedish Grammy as the metal band of the year for Projector. But someone else took it. Not for Projector though.
129. A strange photo of the band was in the media those days... noone ever seen it again...
130. Monochromatic stains was the only official dt's video made without band's participation (by a greek guy with unspellable name and awesome graphic skills, www.hypnagogia.com ).
