what do you think about Dark Tranquillity

[J.]

I gave Haven a few listens and I thought the album was too soft.

Then you must absolutely loathe Projector.

 

[Cervantes]

Dark Tranquillity rule, Kreator isn't bad but i am not crazy about them.

 

[J.]

lolz.

What? It's not like I haven't had their albums for numerous years.

 

[SculptedCold]

DT make me feel all warm and fuzzy. I can't really get into Character though; it just doesn't have the same memorable and epic melody that anything previous had. It tries to be too 'heavy' for its own good.

 

[WNxScythe]

They kinda bore me... but they have their moments for sure.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Haha...I totally love this band.

I agree with J. on Projector and Haven. Projector has its moments, but is mostly boring as shit; Haven is just great. I also found Damage Done to be somewhat plodding and recycled, but "Monochromatic Stains" is still timeless. What a great single pick. And Skydancer and The Gallery?

I enjoyed what I heard of Character. I'm sure it will be like the early DT albums and grow on me with time as opposed to Haven's immediate appeal.

And J-P was spot on about Kreator, as per usual.

 

[RosesofShadow]

Yeah I like DT too but not as much as Kreator!

I like Damage Done, Projector and Character, but haven't heard Gallery and Haven though.

Kreator totally fucking owns! Ha, get all their albums! I even like Violent Revolution so much!

 

[Poison God Machine]

I like Damage Done and Projector from Dark Tranquility. Nice melodic death metal, and still one of the best bands at it. Their new album, Character also rules. If you liked their last one and don't like the direction In Flames and Soilwork are going, you should like this.

As for Kreator, Coma Of Souls is a classic and must-own for any thrash fan. Hail to the almighty thrash guitar riff!

Kreator is awesome and Dark Tranquility is one of the better bands from the Gothenberg scene.

[WNxScythe]

Why are we comparing Kreator to DT... isn't Kreator thrash???

 

[Episteme]

Because the thread starter asked how both bands were.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

Kreator and Dark Tranquillity are touring together.

I love Dark Tranquillity. They were the first Gothenburg band I fell in love with, and I still believe they have the made the best material in that particullar scene, with the exception of older At the Gates and Eucharist.

As for Kreator, definately one of my favorite thrash bands, together with Slayer and Metallica.
