February 11, 2008, 16 years ago
DARK TRANQUILLITY check in with the following updates:
"The British Fiction tour is over, and we'd like to send our warmest greetings to the crew, audience and the guys in OMNIUM GATHERUM for making it an enjoyable and interesting trip. Photos and videos are beginning to surface on the usual sites, so do some searches to find.The last show of the tour, at the Barfly in London, was definitely the most exciting of the lot. Apart from the sold out venue being packed with fans and friends from all over Europe, the blazing fire a mere two blocks away added a sense of urgency to the gig. Not knowing if the venue would have to be evacuated or - still worse - if we'd all go down like the Titanic orchestra if the flames would reach the nearby gas station, we played as if every note would be the last."
Another message from the band reads: "D.T. wins Manifestgalan award...
That's right! We're the proud winners of the Manifestgalan award, Sweden's leading independent music price. Fiction won the metal category, and the jury's explanation of why reads as follows:
”De utnyttjar hela känsloregistret med en kombination av hjärta och hjärna, rått riffande och elektronik. Nyskapande spänning möter ett tryggt och inarbetat sound där detaljer och dynamik ges ett stort utrymme.”
Couldn't have said it better ourselves!"
