关于2008年1月11日举办的Dark Tranquility沉寂黑暗北京音乐会（www.GuitarsChina.com/dktr），可能还有很多的人不了解，虽然我们一再强调他的传奇，他和Arch Enemy一样是当今瑞典最优秀的乐队之一，虽然有着极端梦剧院的美誉，但必须开诚布公的现实：响应这场音乐会的朋友并不多，出票不多，或许现场买票的会多1些。 但这样优秀的乐队，希望不会和VISION DIVINE一样的遭遇，VD北京现场不到100多人。但是相信不管多少人，只有去过VD现场的朋友，才领略到VD的魅力（有人说可能1月演出太密集，那VD来的时候不密集也遗憾人不多）。同样，Dark Tranquility是一支完美的现场乐队，关于这支乐队不需要再重复介绍了，建议去下载（抱歉买不到）他们的最新专集听听，只要是喜欢金属音乐的你，一定会喜欢上Dark Tranquility的！或者将 www.GuitarsChina.com/dktr 打开，几分钟后就能听到他们的音乐，把你的音响开大，让音乐说话，感受Dark Tranquility的心灵震撼！
中国日报报道：
Dark Tranquillity pioneered the Gothenburg Sound sub-genre of death metal in Sweden. And on January 11, the band will bring their brand of melodic metal to Beijing for the first time.
The band is the stuff of legends in Sweden, the launching pad from which they influenced countless musicians worldwide. They've been thrashing about since 1989, but this death metal dream team is still alive and kicking today.
However, the lineup has switched up; early members included vocalist Anders Friden, guitarists Mikael Stanne and Niklas Sundin, bassist Martin Henriksson and drummer Anders Jivarp.
After a musical chairs-like rearrangement of posts and the addition of some new blood, the lineup is: Stanne as the vocalist, Sundin and Henriksson on guitars, Anders Jivarp behind the drum set and Michael Nicklasson on bass, while Martin Brondstrom mans the electronic equipment.
The earliest demos were Trail of Life Decayed (demo/EP 1991), A Moonclad Reflection (EP 1992) and Tranquility (cassette EP 1992). They were all limited releases. Their first album, Skydancer, was released in 1993. After that, many Viking Metal bands wore well the trails blazed by Dark Tranquillity, and a new sub-genre was born: New Wave of Swedish Death Metal.
The band has released 14 albums to date, including the CDs Skydancer (1993), The Gallery (1996), the gloomy album The Mind's I (1997), Sweden Grammy nominated album Projector (1999), Haven (2000), Damage Done (2002), Character (2005) and Fiction (2007). Their surprisingly cerebral music draws inspiration from religion, art, psychology, quantum cosmology and many other fields.
Their first tour began in 1999, when they took on Europe alongside In Flame, Children of Bodom and Arch Enemy. En route, they made stops at many metal festivals, including Prattein Metal Festival and Gods of Metal.
After conquering Europe, they continued on to Turkey, Japan, Mexico and a slew of other countries.
And now, they're coming to China.
149 yuan (Area B), 259 yuan (Area A), 399 yuan (VIP, limited to 80 tickets). Jan 11, 9pm. Tel: 8403-7131, 15901321979. At Yugong Yishan. West courtyard of the former site of Duan Qirui Fu, 3-2 Zhangzizhong Lu自忠路3-2号段祺瑞执**旧址西院
