Projector

Dark Tranquillity

A daring pivot into gothic textures and clean, baritone vocals. Melancholic piano and electronic pulses replace the typical aggression of the Gothenburg sound.

June 21, 1999 · Helvete Records (2)

A sophisticated, rain-drenched melancholy that trades aggression for deep atmospheric longing.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition in 'ThereIn' where the soaring, clean-sung chorus breaks into a jagged, rhythmic death metal riff.
The entirely electronic, beat-driven pulse of 'Day to End' that sounds more like Depeche Mode than a metal band.
The fragile piano intro of 'Auctioned' that gives way to a vulnerable, baritone vocal performance unlike anything in the band's prior catalog.

Piano+3.8σ

The instrumentation foregrounds piano far more than the catalogue usually does.
