Première écoute fort peu satisfaisante pour moi aussi, je lui redonne sa chance bientôt mais ça part mal...

[hallowedhail]

Deux écoutes au compteur pour moi et il ne risque pas d'y en avoir de troisième de sitôt, le précédent album m'avait déjà gonflé mais là j'ai juste envie de retourner écouter "character".

[Metal Cat]

je partage ton avis , l'album s'oublie aussi vite qu'il s'écoute . Rien ne sort du lot, il est plat .

J'aime autant pour le mettre dans mon lecteur.

Ben avec vos avis négatifs et ceux positifs dans la presse ou sur les webzines, je fais comment pour me décider à le prendre ou pas?

Prends-le, tu te feras ton idée par toi-même
Je ne sais pas trop quoi en penser pour l'instant. Il s'écoute, j'aime bien le son très clair et moderne, le côté assez "Projector"... Mais pour l'instant, pas de chanson qui me soit vraiment rentrée dans la tête. On verra sur la durée !

McBrain : écoute un peu la voix de la sagesse !! Il est chiantissime cet album !

[Achille]

Personnellement je n'ai jamais été grand connaisseur du groupe, je ne possède et ai écouté que l'album Character que je trouvais cool. Comme l'édition limitée était classe je me suis laissé tenter et je ne regrette vraiment pas, j'ai accroché direct.

Par contre il faudrait que je me penche sur d'autres albums car il semblerait que pas mal n'aiment pas trop Construct Des suggestions?

haven et damage done ou the gallery ,leur chef d'oeuvre...

[Pierre]

Tous sauf "Fiction" Encore que si tu ne connais pas les autres albums, celui-là devrait bien passer aussi.

Le groupe vient de décider de continuer à jouer live SANS bassiste, et uniquement des bandes pour le remplacer, après avoir obtenu des résultats "concluants".
Ça fait surtout un mec de moins avec qui partager les rentrées d'argent, mais à part ça je ne vois pas d'autres avantages...

Swedish melodic death metallers DARK TRANQUILLITY have issued the following update:

"As most of you know, we're hard at work preparing the live set for the upcoming 'Construct' touring cycle. Spirits are high and we're confident that we have a lot of very special shows ahead of us. Those of you located on the North American continent will be pleased to know that we'll announce some good news tomorrow.

"On another note: Those of you who have seen us play this year might have noticed that we haven't had a bass player on stage.

"'Construct' was written and recorded as a five-piece, and since the band chemistry is at an all-time high and we've never been the ones to shy away from new creative solutions, we wanted to try out playing with the bass on a backing track as opposed to bringing more flesh and blood to the fold. Much to our delight, the results have been great, and we have decided for now to let the band be represented on stage by the five people who have spent a total of more than 100 years in the service of DARK TRANQUILLITY."

Première écoute de l'album est je le trouve...vraiment bon.Retour a un univers plus soft, en ambiances, époque Haven & Projector (que j'adore).Je pense qu'avec leurs derniers disques ils avaient un peu fait le tour.Pour ma part je vais bien le réécouter pour avoir un avis définitif.Quand a cette histoire de remplacer un bassiste par des bandes c'est clairement n'importe quoi ! Daniel Antonsson avant de quitter le groupe faisait du bon boulot notamment sur le sublime live Where Death Is Most Alive...

Le groupe sort un single de 2 inédits, sur sa tournée US, issus des sessions de Construct :

On their upcoming North American tour, Swedish melodic death metallers DARK TRANQUILLITY will be selling a seven-inch EP entitled "A Memory Construct", which also will be released digitally in the beginning of March. Recorded during the "Construct" sessions, the single contains the two songs, is limited to 500 copies worldwide and is available on a transparent red wax. Featured tracks are t previously unreleased "A Memory Construct" and "Sorrows Architect", previously only available as a limited flexi seven-inch released with issue #106 of Decibel magazine.

Comments DARK TRANQUILLITY: "['A Memory Construct'] was originally written (as the name implies) as the title track for the 'Construct' album, but was later deemed too different to be included without interrupting the flow of the main record.

"'Sorrow's Architect' is probably our darkest song in a while; a brooding track that gradually builds up to a climatic ending."

DARK TRANQUILLITY's North American tour kicks off on February 1 at The Masquerade in Atlanta, Georgia.

DARK TRANQUILLITY's tenth studio album, "Construct", was released on May 27 via Century Media Records. The CD was mixed by Jens Bogren (PARADISE LOST, OPETH, KATATONIA) at his Fascination Street studios in Örebro, Sweden.

DARK TRANQUILLITY filmed a music video for the song "Uniformity" on April 13 with Patric Ullaeus of Revolver Film Company, who has previously worked with DIMMU BORGIR, LACUNA COIL, IN FLAMES, SONIC SYNDICATE and KAMELOT, among others.

In an interview with Louder Than Hell, DARK TRANQUILLITY guitarist Niklas Sundin stated about "Construct": "A typical effect of being locked up in a studio for 2-3 months listening to every single second of the new songs over and over again is that you're getting extremely tired of the material. At the same time as you know that you've created something great, there's a part of you that never want to hear the songs again. Also, the collaborative and democratic nature of DARK TRANQUILITY means that there always are riffs and ideas that a single member doesn't find too interesting according to his personal preferences, so what normally happens directly after a studio session is that I sit down and think that the result is OK, but if X and Y would have been done differently, it would have been even better (again: for my own tastes). In this case, there were two main parameters that were different: The members' opinions on the material were a bit more uniform — i.e. no great clashes in taste — and the actual mixing process brought out a lot of details and nuances in the songs that we previously weren't aware of. The result is that I for a change actually was a massive fan of 'Construct' from the first time I heard the final mix."

Asked if the band had a direction or "game plan" when entering the studio to make "Construct", Niklas said: "There never is a defined game plan as such; we usually start writing songs without knowing exactly where the music will take us. Every time we've tried to decide that the next album should go in a certain direction, it usually ends up being the complete opposite, ha ha! This time, though, we all were certain that we needed to do something different in order to find the motivation to even make a new album. It's a similar situation to the one before 'Projector' (1999) where we either could split up or do something new, and from that realization we actually succeeded in reinventing ourselves."

Leur guitariste historique arrête la musique :

Guitarist Martin Henriksson has left Swedish melodic death metallers DARK TRANQUILLITY. He said in a statement: "I recently quit the band. I feel I have lost the passion for playing music, and DARK TRANQUILLITY deserves to have members that are 100% committed to the art. Therefore I decided it's in everyone's best interest to step aside and leave the band with the best possible ability to grow and get even stronger.

"I've had 26 years filled with wonderful memories and we made a lot of great music together, and for that I'm forever grateful.

"Thanks to all the fans, crew and other people involved that supported DARK TRANQUILLITY through the years!"
