May 18, 2007, 17 years ago
Swedish metallers DARK TRANQUILLITY have issued the following update:
"As the picture (left) implies, things are indeed looking victorious! Fiction has been out for a few weeks now, and as no-one can have failed to notice, the response has been truly phenomenal. In all fairness, we're used to our albums receiving rave reviews from fans and critics alike, but the reactions to our new little baby have exceeded everything we've experienced before - a lot of people even have dubbed it our best album (at last we could dethrone the 12 year old The Gallery from that spot.Here in Sweden, the feedback has been nothing short of fantastic. #1 and #2 in the soundchecks of the two leading metal magazines (Sweden Rock and Close-up) and great reviews in all the major newspapers and tabloids - not to mention good chart positions, healthy sales and a general thumbs-up from the metal community.
Promotion activities have been manyfold and weird. Apart from the usual tons of interviews, Mikael (Stanne - vocals) and Martin (Brändström - electronics) recently graced the premises of MTV Nordic to appear in the morning show Mycket Mer Än Müsli, in which they discussed the new album as well as playing some poker.
Gig-wise, we'll have our busiest summer ever, playing the three most prolific Swedish festivals (Hultsfred, Arvika and Sweden Rock) as well as heading out all over Europe. Touring plans for the autumn are starting to take shape, and as soon as we know anything definite, we'll let you in on the information."
