Dark Tranquillity: Tour Europeo Cancelado

"Con gran frustración tenemos que anunciar la cancelación de nuestra participación en la gira planeada Europea Metal Attack Over Europe".

"Las razones son varias. El principal promotor de la gira ha fallado en hacer los arreglos necesarios prácticos y logísticos necesarios para el viaje. Debido a la falta de información fiable y deficiente promoción, la venta de entradas ha sido sorprendentemente baja. No podemos simplemente embarcarnos en un mes, cinco bandas y correr el riesgo de que los lugares cerrados cumplirán los requisitos o no estar 100% seguro de que las disposiciones necesarias hasta estar en el lugar. El hecho de que WARBRINGER cancelara no ayuda a la situación.
"Entendemos que muchas personas se sentirán decepcionados, y nosotros también. Tenga la seguridad de que nuestro agente de reservas ha estado haciendo su mejor esfuerzo por salvar la gira y tratar de arreglar las cosas, pero la triste realidad es que nos hemos quedado sin otra opción que cancelar. ¡Sentimos mucho esta situación "

Las entradas adquiridas para los conciertos de Bilbao, Santiago de Compostela, Madrid y Barcelona, se podrán devolver en los puntos de venta donde se adquirieron, a partir de mañana día 16 de Noviembre

DARK TRANQUILLITY parts ways with bassist Daniel Antonsson.

Shortly before beginning the studio sessions for the upcoming 10th studio album "Construct", the band amicably parted ways with bassist Daniel Antonsson.

The decision has been growing for a while, and the main reason is that Daniel wanted to focus on his own musical projects as well as working more in his recording studio. Being first and foremost a guitarist, he felt that the playing bass in a full-time band didn’t allow him much time for his main instrument and true passion.

With this in mind, he chose to follow his heart and step aside at this point instead of committing to another album and an intense touring cycle that would leave little room for other activities.

We thanks Daniel for his years in the band - filled with great shows and amazing memories and experiences in all corners of the world - and wish him all the best with his future musical career.

Daniel's statement:

I want to thank the guys in Dark Tranquillity and the amazing D.T. fans around the world for the last four years of touring around the globe! It´s been awesome! Also a huge hug to the DT crew and all of the people working with us. I will miss you all very much! You are like family to me and I hope we will meet again soon!

But...now is the time for me to follow my heart and again focus on my guitar playing and being a recording engineer/producer in my studio Gothenburg Rock Studios. We will meet again on the road or in the studio - that's for sure!

Horns up and Cheerz!
/Daniel.

Friends! Today is exactly three months before the release of the "Construct", and it's also the day on which the very last note of music for the album was recorded. After countless of hours in the studio, our work is finally 100% finished. We'll now treat ourselves to some well needed rest and look forward to sharing more news with you in the near future.

Founding D.T. guitarist Martin Henriksson quits.

While putting the finishing touches on the material for our next album, we have to inform you that guitarist and original member Martin Henriksson sadly but amicably left the band a couple of months ago. Here is his statement:

Dear Dark Tranquillity fans,

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!
Yours,
Martin Henriksson
