Yeah, man, I dislike that Hedon-fellow. He totally stole my idea! Here´s the story (and bear in mind, this was looong ago, waaay before any of you had even heard of Dark T...or perhaps even music):
Well, the boyz (the Dark Tranquillity-boys, that is) sat and tried to come up with a new name (Septic Broiler had not garnered them any success to speak of - well, there was this naked hobo who smelled like anti-freeze and menthol who kinda liked them, but he doesn´t count).
Then one day, when chatting to U[Sic]M, they revealed their new moniker: DARK TRANQUIL TEA. Secretly and to himself U[Sic]M reckoned it sounded like some new age tea-brand or something but exclaimed at once that their new choice for band name sounded a lot like the name of his as-of-yet unformed musical metal group to be: DARK TRANQUILLITY.
Needless to say, the band name was stolen (very much like Metallica stole their name from Brian Slagel or whoever that was who wanted the name Metallica for a brand spanking new Metal-magazine...and look how far Metallica came!)
And this is how Dark Tranquillity got their name...very unjustly, I might add.
