Swedish melodic death metallers
DARK TRANQUILLITY have set
"We Are The Void" as the title of their ninth album, due on March 1, 2010 via
Century Media Records. The drums for the CD were recorded at bassist
Daniel Antonsson's studio, while the remaining instruments were tracked at
Martin Brändström's (electronics) newly renovated
Rogue music facility. The mixing duties are once again being handled by
Tue Madsen (
HALFORD,
BEHEMOTH,
KATAKLYSM,
THE HAUNTED), at his
Antfarm studio in Århus, Denmark. Working songtitles set to appear on the CD include
"I Am The Void",
"Zero Distance",
"The Burden Of Love Alive",
"Archangelsk" and
"Memories In Reverse".
Regarding the musical direction of the band's new material,
DARK TRANQUILLITY previously said, "It's a bit too early to delve into details, but the material feels diverse and fresh and covers all the facets of the
DARK TRANQUILLITY sound. Those who are familiar with our songwriting process know that we always keep re-arranging and experimenting with the material until the recording starts, and while we currently have the basic foundations for around 10 songs, many things are still open. The final result is likely to surprise ourselves as well as you people."
A performance clip of
"Final Resistance", taken from
DARK TRANQUILLITY's recently released
"Where Death Is Most Alive" CD/DVD, is available for viewing below. The footage was filmed on October 31, 2008 in Milan, Italy - a concert which makes up the upcoming DVD's main feature. Disc 1 contains 20 tracks recorded at the Milan show while disc 2 offers the
"Out Of Nothing" DARK TRANQUILLITY documentary, another 21 rare live videos and all of the band's previously released promotional clips.
