Mikael Stanne of Dark Tranquillity

Dark Tranquillity is regarded as one of the pioneers of the sound of Gothenburg melodic death metal, and now on the verge of releasing their 12th studio album, we welcome the frontman Mikael Stanne onto IUF to talk about their legacy. The new album “Moment” is set to drop, and Mikael talks about his personal experiences from writing, to recording, and the production processes that took place to create another new masterpiece. Now adding seasoned guitarists Christopher Amott (ex-Arch Enemy) and Johan Reinholdz (Nonexist) into the lineup, it’s not only another chapter for the Swedish giants in Dark Tranquillity, but it’s as if a new breath of the melo-death sound has been thrust into them. Staying true to that sound is important, but expanding on that is a challenge Mikael embraces to push himself as an artist. Plenty of great topics to discover in this episode, listen in now and make sure to buy/stream Dark Tranquillity’s 12th studio album “Moment” coming out November 20th on Century Media Records.
