Making Up For Lost Time With MIKAEL STANNE From DARK TRANQUILLITY

Interview by Angela Croudace
One of the architects of The Gothenburg Sound, Dark Tranquillity
are about to storm Australian shores for the first time in over a
decade, delivering three exclusive shows in Melbourne, Sydney and
Brisbane.
The masters of melodic death metal emerged from Sweden’s west coast
in the early '90s, alongside titans like In Flames, At The Gates,
and Soilwork. Known for their genre-defining mix of razor-sharp
riffs, icy keyboards, and Mikael Stanne's haunting vocals, the band
melds death metal intensity with gothic and progressive
experimentation. 
Through 13 albums, including iconic releases The Gallery,
Character, and their latest, 2024’s Endgame Signals, Dark
Tranquillity has forged a sound that is as melancholic and thought
provoking as it is ferocious.
Joining Dark Tranquillity for their momentous return are
Melbourne’s own melodic metal heavyweights, Eye of the Enemy.
Renowned for their crushing riffs and soaring melodies, Eye of the
Enemy has earned accolades including a Global Metal Apocalypse
Award and numerous Album of the Year mentions. With a history of
international tours and supporting the who’s who of metal’s elite,
they’re the perfect complement to Dark Tranquillity's atmospheric
mastery.
Dark Tranquillity will dig deep from their rich catalogue to
deliver a sonic journey through the past, present, and future of
melodic death metal, but just to make sure, HEAVY caught up with
vocalist Mikael Stanne just days out from the first show of the
tour.
