DARK TRANQUILLITY Release Album Title Track ‘Atoma’

dark_tranquillity

On November 4th, 2016, DARK TRANQUILLITY will release their 11th album “Atoma” worldwide through Century Media Records. The band has now released an animated video for the album’s title track! You can watch it below.

The band comments: “The title track is one of the catchiest and most direct numbers on “Atoma” and already feels like a future live favourite. The first 30 seconds could be heard on one of our studio documentary clips, but here is “Atoma” in its full glory. Enjoy!”

As of now, “Atoma” is available for pre-order at CMDistro.com! The album is available as Ltd. 2CD Mediabook in Slipcase (Europe only) or Ltd. 2CD Digipak (North America only), as CD Jewelcase and Gatefold LP+CD.

The bonus disc features the songs “The Absolute” and “Time Out Of Place” showcasing a very different side of the band. Recorded and mixed by Anders Lagerfors at Nacksving studios, these tracks are among the darkest and most brooding ever from the band, but their experimental nature make them far removed from the usual metal territory.

The band explains, “A lot of our songs start out as pieces of music written on piano/ keyboards before getting transformed into guitar driven metal. With this recording, we wanted to explore what would happen if we instead let the material take another direction, and we’re extremely thrilled by the result.”

These songs will exclusively be available on the Ltd. CD editions of “Atoma” and won’t appear on the digital album.
The gatefold LP is available in different vinyl colors and also includes the full album on CD.

Atoma” was recorded at Rogue Music in Gothenburg, the studio owned by D.T. keyboardist Martin Brändström. Mixing duties were handled by David Castillo, known for his work with bands such as Katatonia, Opeth and Candlemass. The striking cover artwork was once again created by the band’s guitarist Niklas Sundin.

North American fans can catch the band live this fall/winter. A European tour in early 2017 will be announced soon!
