"'Fiction' simply contains all the qualities you love about Dark Tranquillity: seemingly playful, grandiose melodies are paired with just the right amount of aggression and combined at the highest level to create cohesive, atmospheric breakbeat tracks." ROCK HARD / 9 out of 10Swedish melodic death metal pioneers DARK TRANQUILLITY celebrate a triumphant return with their new album "Fiction". The brilliant new release was mixed by Tue Madsen (Himsa, The Haunted) and combines all the elements that have always defined the band: Deep lyrics, massive and refined guitar work, haunting melodies and aggressive brutality. The new album could be described as a modern take on the classic albums "The Gallery" and "The Mind's I", but one that surprises with an increased intensity and represents a new definition of melodic death metal!DARK TRANQUILLITY still holds an exceptional position in the metal scene today, as they were co-founders of a completely new death metal genre in the early 90's, commonly referred to as "Gothenburg Sound". Their last album "Character" was hailed by media and fans alike as the band's most dynamic and furious effort. The band will of course present "Fiction" live on stages around the world. First, they will embark on an extensive US tour with The Haunted and Into Eternity at the end of March, followed by performances at European summer festivals.With "Fiction" DARK TRANQUILLITY renew the genre they co-founded and cement their status as one of the most successful and influential metal bands.

Album spans genres Rock and Melodic Death Metal.
