Just before this new album, main song writer and guitarist Martin Hendersson left the band. Niklas Sundin replaced him and also a new bass player Anders Iwers (Tiamat, Ceremonial Oath) joined the band. When the person who writes most of the music leaves the band, it is always a surprise if the band can maintain their style and the high level of songwriting.\u00a0On the entire album the keyboards\u00a0have a rather prominent and important role, creating a solid platform on which the rest of the instruments can shine.<\/p>\n

Well I have to admit and conclude that the new songs are just as good as the older stuff. The Swedish melodic death metal style remained and is worked out even better. Variety, diversity\u00a0and beautiful melodies are the main ingredients of the songs. The band worked out the contrast between heavy dark music and melodic clean singing parts even better. Opener “Encircled”\u00a0is furious\u00a0in typical DT style, combining\u00a0grunts with fine\u00a0melodic parts. After that melody and clean singing,\u00a0\u00a0combined with piano parts and melancholy takes over in the title track. The harsh and\u00a0grunting parts are varied with clean singing like only Dark Tranquility is capable of. The track makes me think a bit of Paradise Lost during their ‘One Second’ era. This combining of clean and grunting and heavy and softer parts returns in most of the songs.<\/p>\n

“Force of Hand” has some nice thrash riffs and the solos have a progressive touch. The higher tempos can be found back in\u00a0“Neutrality”, The Pitiless” and “When the\u00a0World Screams’. More slower melancholic doom-like stuff\u00a0in Anathema style is found back in the 2 last tracks, especially “Cave and Embers” shines of beauty. When you buy the media book version you find a second cd with 2 tracks different from DT’s usual style. Songs in a kind of The Cure\/Muse style with some floating electronic keyboard\u00a0noises.<\/p>\n

My final judgement is that the new album is Dark Tranquility from start to finish, but with even more variety, diversity and melody, but\u00a0always\u00a0staying close to their own style.<\/p>\n
