icipher

[mikekrause2000]

Both this song and fabric are fucking amazing songs... and misery's crown... fuck it, all DT songs are amazing.

[loudenvier]

I can't say why this song makes me wanna cry every time I hear it. I believe it may be the power of the emotions that were put behind the vocals, chords and drumming all the way from start to end!

[killswitchengagefan4]

I think my fav song by dark tranquility.

[S4mm4st3r]

This song is perfect... DT definitely has the best melodies

[videogamerselite270]

Absolutely amazing.

[atefatef123]

I'm In Love With This Song

[overhuman29]

this song...

just perfect.

i love it.

[ConnorCMC94]

The replay button has been thoroughly raped by my mouse.

[devilkore1]

@ConnorCMC94 yea and while doin that, ur mom was being thoroughly raped in the bedroom...dumb fuck..!!

[VincentClaw]

This solo and in flames december flower's are the most emotional guitar solo's i've ever heared.

[metallicaftw1000]

@VincentClaw go listen to Fade to Black or For Love of God MAYBE you will change your mind

[VincentClaw]

@metallicaftw1000 Yeah Fade to Black has a good solo as well but i prefer the ones in To Live Is To Die, Nothing Else Matters and Master Of Puppets :)

[metallicaftw1000]

@VincentClaw yeah they are awesome too ^^



[666thugnasty]

@VincentClaw They are two of my favorite emotional solos - check out the solo in the song Silverwing by Arch Enemy, I think it definitely deserves mention in that category as well.

[VincentClaw]

@666thugnasty I realy like it thanks for that! :) also check.. October Tide - Grey Dawn Threat Signal - Counterbalance Tool - Reflection Mors Principium Est - Parasites of Paradise Opeth - April Ethereal Death - Voice of Soul Saturnus - I Long Noumena - The End of Century, the chorus in this song is a frickin solo! Esoteric - Ignotum per Ignotius \m/

[NocturnalExistence]

they may be opening for killswitch engage but I think the killswitch guys respect them because they were aware of their existence in the 90s when metal was dead. Mike D was a big fan of Projector when that came out. He said "it was a ballsy departure from the gothenburg sound that everyone seemed to be yearning more of at the time."

[hthprfftt]

While i think the idea of DT opening for KSE and DWP is fucking retarded, i wouldn't mind not having to sit through DWP to see DT. I fucking love KSE and DT, both great fucking bands. I think DT deserves far more credit than they get as a metal band. Just because they didn't write a "Come Clarity" album and never got on guitar hero no one knows them. Pathetic fucking sheep

[pandemonic01]

@hthprfftt Tell you what I'd do. I'd leave after DT finishes and ditch that joint before KSE and DWP start lol.

[helensanchezz]

Arrechamente bueno :)

[V3rciS]

2:30 fucking rules.... AMAZING

[Deneskia]

Song still sound's epic though xD

[AlexanderArciel]

This brings me shivers. So well written. Perfection is scary.

[AlexanderArciel]

This song bring me shivers. So well written. Perfection is scary...

[DerFuhrerfurimmer]

goodshit saw them with KSE and TDWP a while back great shit....

[areca81]

awesome riffs :D

[zuschlag123]

Masterpiece

[ntt688]

absolutely brilliant

[1337inf]

the best band man...i'm telling you...

[Clairevoyante]

My favorite song of the album! So many emotions going through the notes! Favorite part: from 2:30 to the end. (Omg I shouldn't even say this the whole song is a masterpiece!)

[h3366991512]

good rock metel

[Pakleni1]

@h3366991512 rock metel?

[ADeadlierSnake]

@Pakleni1 he's just retarded

[Pakleni1]

@ADeadlierSnake I can see that

[ITubeuTubeify]

Love this song.

[sjktss]

wow. awesome song.

[PerishableEntity]

This one rocks

[bamsetrold]

ARE YOU SCARED ENOUGH!!!???

[BadLuckLux]

I'm gonna' see these these dudes tonight.

[extremo0024]

love this shit

[iLikeToShank]

"That look that sends shivers

down my spine..."

More like "This song that sends shivers down my spine..." This song admittedly gives me the chills. Such a cold song, I love it!

[MetalHead7250]

Motherfucking incredible. There is nothing like good, hard, rock-your-face off, CREATIVE metal!!

[juboymoreno]

that guitar is niceeee

[Tileksi]

omfg beaty deth

[ligdem]

genius

[Eluveitie29000]

2:28 to 3:19 it's magic :D

[GraysnE]

eluveitie is bad ass dude.

[runner539475]

HÖGayy

[jawsunleashed5000]

Saw them 2/12/10 at the sonar in baltimore and the rocked! just I wish they played more songs. i,m really into them now :D

[BruisedEyeSockets]

Only thing wrong with DT: They're opening for Killswitch & Devil Wears Prada. :/

[LordXViper]

@BruisedEyeSockets thats pathetic... Killswitch and Prada should beg to even be on the same stage as DT

[HuckleB680]

@LordXViper agree! KSE and Prada are lame screamo and the only time those bands should ever interact with DT is to be bowing down in the great honor of DT and real metal

[videogamerselite270]

@HuckleB680 Almost totally agree with you except KsE and TDWP aren't screamo; they're melodic metalcore.

[shitflinger]

@BruisedEyeSockets That's so DT Fans won't have to sit through Killswitch and DWP just to see them =P

[pandemonic01]

@shitflinger ...but you make a good point

[Hollowe]

@shitflinger LMAO

[pandemonic01]

@BruisedEyeSockets which is BULLSHIT imo. Lol

[GrandMasterScotty]

@BruisedEyeSockets Seeing as bands like Killswitch Engage owe their very existence to bands like Dark Tranquillity, it seems bizarre that the latter should be opening for the former.

[CareyPortnoyBeauford]

@GrandMasterScotty in an interview Killswitch's bassist (Mike D) said he grew up listening to dark tranquillity. but yeah i agree.

[nicholasdipiazza]

@BruisedEyeSockets killswitch is an amazing little group --- but not at the level of DT!!!

[lxXMETALXxl]

Is icifer like a frozen version of lucifer?

[Cillik1]

im pretty sure not, dt dont make stupid referances such as that.

I find they are too mature for such idiocy.

[lxXMETALXxl]

Well listen, to you and the other fanboys... I was not serious, as you can tell, so there is no idiocy at hand, unless your musical preferences get the better of you to the point in which you become an asshole. Furthermore, I just took a wild guess at what the title means, and apparently you also do not understand it's meaning, so please tone down the nerd-rage a notch please. Even if you did not mean for what you said to sound that way, a simple "I doubt it" would have sufficed.

[Cillik1]

yeah, i believe you kinda took what i said out of context, but i could have phrased it better too.

either way i couldnt tell if you were joking or not

[ThrashPowerMetalGuy]

Fucking great riff

[Rolandsto]

2:28 Sounds Like Coldplay - Clocks Unfortunately

[voodoocron420]

u know how i know ur gay cuz u listin to coldplay

[Rolandsto]

Lol, 40 year virgin. I don't listen 2 em btw I just no that Song by them. Thats y I said Unfortunately. But u gotta admit they sound the same

[Cillik1]

nothing wrong with coldplay man.

They have good music.

[JKwoftw]

@Cillik1

There's everything wrong with coldplay. They're terrible. Fix your opinion.

[Cillik1]

whats that supposed to mean? fix your opinion?

i think you need to get your head straight.

[JKwoftw]

I think you need to get your musical tastes straight.

[Cillik1]

you should try and make more sense.

[JKwoftw]

You should look into cochlear implants because clearly your ears don't work correctly.

[Cillik1]

do you find this amusing?

cos youre starting to amuse me.

andi have had this kind of argument many times before, if we dont just shut up we could go on for hours

[JKwoftw]

I love this conversation. It's so fruitful. But I'm going to bed so you can have the last word. The only thing I have left to say about Coldplay is that if I want to listen to female music, I'll listen to a female artist. Chris Martin is so full of estrogen, if you cut him open, an episode of Sex and the City would pop out. I'd rather have my temporal lobes scooped out with a spoon than listen to him crying into the microphone with his terrible metaphors.

Long live dark tranquility.

[Cillik1]

there is nothing wrong with the man.

but i have to agree with you about dark tranquillity.

[falongu]

haha lolz "If you cut him open an episode of SexAndTheCity would pop out"

[vrem]

@JKwoftw dt is the coldplay of melodic death metal. bad thing? no. cause dt rules.

[JKwoftw]

In what way are they like coldplay? They both use piano and...

[vrem]

@JKwoftw they both are bands dumbass. they both make music.

[JKwoftw]

Ah, well I guess I won't mess with you. I can tell you're pretty tough, what with your calling people names over the internet.

If dt is the coldplay of melodic death metal because they're both bands, then every melodeath band is the coldplay of melodic death metal, which renders your analogy meaningless.

Having you as a fan is an insult to DT. At least Cillik has a sense of humor.

[vrem]

@JKwoftw no.

[Someoneotherthanyou]

Fiction is a killer album....!!!!! One of the best

[ThrashPowerMetalGuy]

My favorite album ever!

[XBillinatorX]

is it better than the rest overall? comtemplating which one to get becuase im going to their show on feb 4th in mass along with killswitch

[Gothmogh1990]

I like Fiction.

[Piipquake]

Fiction was really a big disappointment from band as awesome as Dark Tranquillity, but this particular song is still awesome. Easily best one from the album.

[directionlalaland]

what does "icipher" mean??

cipher is

- the key to a secret message

-a person or thing of no importance; nonentity

- to put (a message) into secret writing

mhmm???

[piczok]

It's an abbreviation for Lucifer :D

[Cillik1]

Highly fucking unlikely.

Is that supposed to be part of metal for some reason?

so far dt have shown that biblical referances are not nescesary to make great music, and i dont think they will start to use them at all.

its a shame that so many bands actually do talk about satan and hell and christianity.

it really ruins the lyrics and often the music too

[piczok]

God... That was just a joke. My favourite song at that moment is Lucifer by Behemoth so this was as complimient :)

[reallysecretusername]

@Cillik1 stfu sissy

[Cillik1]

Hahahahaha.

You can't actually base that on anything.

Why do you say that anyway?

[reallysecretusername]

@Cillik1 youre a whining sissy i based that on your whiny messege. so they sing about the devil and god sometimes. why is there anything wrong with that?

[Cillik1]

First of all, grow up.

second they dont actually sing about god or satan so far as i have checked their lyrics, and all i said was that they dont make such references, so next time stop to think about what you read before you go around saying things about peope you dont know.

and i know the way i put it was rather harsh.

im not saying there is something wrong with it, i just personally find it immature to keep including that in metal, witch is unfortunate cos i know that many bands do it.

[reallysecretusername]

@Cillik1 im the one that needs to grow up, yet youre the one offended because of lyrics in some song? yeah ok kiddo

[Cillik1]

I wasnt offended by the lyrics.

[PsychedelicShot]

Think about how its pronounced. Icipher. "I-see-Fear" Read the lyrics, he is talking about seeing fear.

[woolf156]

icipher=i see fear

[directionlalaland]

His vocals are just amazing :'O

[raspmonkey]

my favorite dark tranquility song....;)

[PrensHaru]

ninni gibi :) harika :)

[pitan77]

aynen :)

[pspkinghak]

can someone tell me bands like dt besides in flames cus i already listen to them

[Gothmogh1990]

another good melodic death metal band is Arch Enemy and a band similar to dt is Mors Principium Est.

Together with In Flames and Dark Tranquillity, At The Gates founded the genre, but thei're not half as melodic as the rest

[woolf156]

skyfire is good too

[drakoblood]

Hellz yea u know they are coming to where i live i live in nyc and they are coming january 22 to the nokia theatre....can u believe that a ticket costs 21.50$??? its like they are giving them away ITS ARCH ENEMY!!!!!!

[Amuny666]

Kalmah is great too and around the same style,

[vageloukos]

search Amon Amarth

[drakoblood]

yes u are right amon amarth is nice i like their style of viking metal and the voice is the shit try listening to Dark Lunacy u might like them too

[Sgetzter]

Norther is cool so...

[drakoblood]

YES Norther is great to my opinion hey try listening to Dark Lunacy they are good too u might like them too

[drakoblood]

hey u are really going to like Dark Lunacy and Epica you should listen to them....Dark Tranquillity:Dolls.......Epica­:Sensorium

Listen to the 2 band u might like them Enjoy /\m/\ /\m/\

[AWorldWithoutWar]

Icipher

I c I pher

(what)I see I fear(in you)

[justKenny99]

ARE YOU SCARED ENOUGH?

[Desolyt]

BEST PART OF THE SONG. 3:45.

[Metadaxe]

Icipher.

I Ci Pher.

I See Fear.

[shin25metal]

true??

[Metadaxe]

Well, that's my interpretation. Whether or not it's what Mikael was thinking at the time may be true. Or maybe it's not true.

[ThisMortalCoil64]

@Metadaxe holy crap, I didn't notice XD

[Metadaxe]

@ThisMortalCoil64 Neither did I. Stanne mentioned it in an interview.

[Shirobero]

"Are you scared enough?"

DT's just the best band of the world!

[ankmaster1991]

This song is a perfect example of Dark Tranquillity's masterful way of combining brutal death metal with a beautiful melodic influence. Fiction is without a doubt a masterpiece that deserves recognition.

[GTASbo0mst1ck]

brutal death metal + beautiful melody = Melodic Death Metal = Awesome!!!!!!!!

[TrainsforGTA]

one of the early melo deaths

[TrainsforGTA]

bands

[tacityrn]

including myself cuz i luv it

[tacityrn]

im going to use a dark tranquillizer dart on you all!

[redeemedrichard]

Love this song. This band is frekkin brilliant.

Quickly overturning my like of In Flames for the top spot on my playlists.

[CloudACVII]

@redeemedrichard These guys are good but im not sure they surpass In Flames.

[redeemedrichard]

@CloudACVII

i find after a few months after posting my original comment.. i listen to both of them prretty equally. I still love In Flames. they are still my favorite. but DT quickly seats 2nd to them for me. The Jester Race is just my holy grail of music, done by In Flames. But i do own DT albums, Character, Fiction, and We Are The Void. All amazing.

[CloudACVII]

@redeemedrichard Thats cool man, I have heard lots of good things about this band but I just cant seem to enjoy listening to them except from a handful of songs. This song, Icipher I really like but I dunno. In Flames are [or were] the pinnacle of Melodic Death Metal. Jester Race, Whoracle, Clayman, brilliant albums. Im also a huge fan of their latest ones but I don't think they're as good as the earlier stuff. Soundtrack is a damn fun album to play though. (y)

[grindmaggots666]

@CloudACVII it`s better than in flames newest. that one sucked...

[TopiAS06]

@grindmaggots666 in flames new album was shitty :/

[PsychedelicShot]

First time ever hearing this Band and after listening to about 10 different songs I have decided that they are amazing. Absolutely Fucking Amazing! And Cool he talks about seeing fear in the song and the song is called icipher. "I See Fear". Cool.

[MetalFreakTopi]

So melodic and so METAL. The singer is one of the brutalest I have ever heard.

AWESOME SONG 5*

[wastedhighs]

i wonder how much metal uv heard

[MetalFreakTopi]

More than you... I have listened metal since I was 5 years old

[TrainsforGTA]

since 7: i was the odd one out in school. but screw them this is the best fucking lifestyle. metal of all genres i love. As long as its brutal, its metal

[Animelovahr]

I love the electronic goodness in this one. Really catchy.

[Atomzdan]

I imagine the dude playing the solo with Angel Wings, seriously. It's godlike.

[KingMichael]

Favorite song from Fiction.

[marcuslola]

oh, and yes.. THIS IS AWESOME :D too bad they dont sell their cd's around here, which is strange because i live in sweden..

[Eithan89]

Ebay? xD

[marcuslola]

ill probably end up there :P

[UltimereOccultismK]

eBay sucks ass, and you have to pay hundreds for the shipping. If you live in Sweden, just go to the nearest city's metal store and you'll find so much death metal it will fuck you up forever.

[Eithan89]

Yeah, that would be great but unfortunately, I don't live in Sweden.

[UltimereOccultismK]

Ahh ok. But this was actually a response to marcuslola.

[MakzTard]

Intro kick ass

[motigross]

the thing that scares me mooooost ......

love this song

[ozzystrummer]

2:25 til 2:50 is the best part of the song, love this song

[anonymous69er]

man his voice is one of the best in metal in my own opinion

[greeksdorok]

Possibly, but I dont listen to Metal, It's actually a friend that sent me this song Guitar Pro style. And I decided to check out the real song, Its still a good song with vocals though

[Shirobero]

Best growls ever =]

[UltimereOccultismK]

Pretty much true. He is skilled! :)

[wesmilanes]

wtf??????????????

[greeksdorok]

I dont remember my comment, what was it?

[rlsiwain]

instead of 'are you scared enough' i thought it was 'i escape now'

[DeadJohn666]

get the cack out o' yo ears mate! haha jk

[Automaticdildo36]

best song ever created

i get the chills so much after the solo when ARE YOU SCARED ENOUGH!!! comes in, OMG its fucking beautiful

this song, the lesser faith, the endless feed, miserys crown, monochromatic stains, and the mundane and the magic are the best songs by DT

[Berlioz24]

You forgot about Lost to Apathy. =)

[HarmonyInResonance]

Fuck, all of Fiction rocks! The whole damn album is extraordinary, though I personally like Monochromatic Stains, Focus Shift, My Negation, Feast of Burden, Scythe Rage & Roses, Mind's Eye, and Format C for Cortex(?) much more. Fave song has to be Insanity's Crescendo and C for Cortex. If only i could tune my fcking guitar that low, id play DT songs hahahah

[anonymous69er]

mundane is the best i say :D but i like the whole album though, whats the bands new album called?

[UltimereOccultismK]

It's Drop D? Play the 7th fret on the low E string, make it sound like A (2nd lowest string). Then tune normally on the base of the Low E.

You got a Drop D.

[Eithan89]

This song is played in Drop B

[UltimereOccultismK]

I have tabs for Drop D and to me it works fine :) I never tune to B.

[Eithan89]

U have tabs for Drop D?? Send theeeem!!

[UltimereOccultismK]

Find easy on Ultimate Tabs...

[UltimereOccultismK]

As Guitar Pro format tough.

[HarmonyInResonance]

How does one get GuitarPro, anyway?

[Tegernako77]

The Endless Feed, mainly in remastered version in unofficial album "A Closer End" is rly something above everything...

[Leighcristian]

nice men, when someone buy an original album they get some more money ;D

[RiotOooO]

stupid mf kids... stop fucktarding around.. listen 2 the music and shut up...
