June 17, 2015

Sweden’s DARK TRANQUILLITY has released an official video for “The Science Of Noise”, which is on their latest album, Construct.  Check out the video here: The band is gearing up for several festival tour dates and had this to say: “The festival season has just started, which is a good reason to release our very live based video clip for ‘The Science Of Noise’. The bulk of the material was shot during last year’s ‘World Construct’ tour, but for various reasons the video wasn’t completed until now. Also, we’re very pleased to welcome Erik Jacobson (from the Gothenburg-based DEALS DEATH) as a stand-in guitarist while Niklas is busy with parental duties. Furthermore, our old brother Anders Iwers (TIAMAT, AVATARIUM, CEREMONIAL OATH) is handling the bass guitar, making this a very special run. Hope to see as many of you as possible at the shows!” Tour Dates: 21.06.2015 – Hellfest – Clisson, France 30.06.2015 – Wacken Open Air – Wacken, Germany 02.08.2015 – Rock Off Festival – Istanbul, Turkey 08.08.2015 – Jalometalli – Oulu, Finland 09.08.2015 [Read More]
