DARK TRANQUILLITY - The Making Of "We Are The Void" (Part 4)

[eyecipher]

What Pickups are mounted onto that Gibson ? I cant tell what's the bridge pup

[Coreyland]

@eyecipher Looks like a Sd invader.

[eyecipher]

@Coreyland I know they have a Seymour Duncan fetish, proven over the years. In which they jumped to a lot of combination, varying from the SH-4 to Sh-6 and now SH-12 and some invaders yes, but I dont think it's an invader on that guitar. the invader is just too "out there" looking, u knw wt i mean ? it looks like a subtle SH-something :)

[DarkTran49]

Damage done is the best album hands down

[mcrkiller93]

@DarkTran49 No, The Gallery for sure

[SimAlias]

Is it me but lol, Niklas looks a bit like Gary Oldman, lol the 2nd metalhead I know besides Johan Liiva who can pass off as Gary Oldman xD

[ELEMENTALW1]

Mikael if fucking funny..Im killing time playing xbox and theyr are working till death lol... still having fun tho !

[juliandeal93]

WTF? 04:34 just FUCKING EPIC... Unbelievable... Impossible... Is there a longer version of this solo???

[juliandeal93]

What's the song from 7:04 - 7:16??

[Sakaretsu]

It's a great DT album, But it isn't on par with Character and Fiction, those were Incredible.

I'd personally place it on an equal state with Damage Done, maybe a bit better.

[Rzrjo]

@Sakaretsu The Gallery is their best album.

[Sakaretsu]

@Rzrjo Never said it wasn't.

[Rzrjo]

@Sakaretsu You forgot to say it was ;D

[Sakaretsu]

@Rzrjo Fair enough.

[SynisterMetal666]

I have "We are the Void" and tbh... it isn't better than Character. The Synths are nowhere near as good. I'd say it's a step backwards for DT, though it does have one or two great songs.

[vicariouspunishment]

Fuck that's epic.

[darkwarrior1194]

dude if fiction was an epic album we are the void is going to be one of the best albums in metal history

[forthyrhyme]

Waiting for a vocal recordings...

my favorite phase

[Furin1]

me too, it has been a while now to, the should really realse it soon

[xtenext]

the leak is out now... just sayin :D but you should still buy it, unless you are douche bag

[mcgarnacle21]

Talk about anticipation

[AsILayDiyng1]

whats the song at start ??? I love it !!!

[gullit123]

that would be Terminus (Where Death Is Most Alive) from the Fiction album

[TheStarlessAeon]

dude.... nice dig.

[Akermin]

Ebows are so cool. Opeth covered their "Blackwater Park" album with one those.

[SwissShredder]

Awesome bass tone.

[bce5150]

song at 420 is going to be badass

[UnrefinedNemesis]

The album sounds freaking promising can't hope for their tour,

[Zyklunt]

Great bottle whistling)))

By the way, what's the mark of that bass? I didn't get it (((

[ViolenceOfWind]

that bass its Mayones if i am not wrong. Yes, yes thats mayones. Thats Polish guitar:) greetings from Poland:D

[Zyklunt]

Thanks a lot!

[norske666]

dave bridges from galloway ohio likes little boys to touch themselves to this music. NOT! ha, dave! back at ya dumby! all a joke.

[r1Co1337]

it doesn't matter if you think ATG are gods or not, they still are the pioneers of the genre, not children of bodom (though they are one of the earlier bands of the genre)

[Brotherinlow]

Vad hände?

Ni ska aldrig läsa vad en jävla idiot har skrivit...

[Maxim1110]

Damn that guitar part Niklas is playing is fucking epic!

[jordaniac89]

a bunch of scandinavian guys with long blond hair playing melodic death metal. How original.

[AnclTsagaree]

Originality? You do realize this is one of the bands that created the genre, right? You just lost any credibility you could possibly claim to have concerning this genre if you call one of the pioneers of a genre "unoriginal".

[jordaniac89]

Meh. I don't care who established it, nor do I want to care. This sounds no different really from any of their other albums, or any other band in this genre.

[AnclTsagaree]

Then you're simply being ignorant.

[fuurry]

if u dont understand classic music they all sound same to you as well as metal.

[lxXMETALXxl]

@AnclTsagaree: yeah it was essentially Children of Bodom, Dark Tranquility, and In Flames that created this genre.

[DarknessMatters]

@lxXMETALXxl: Never, ever shall you dare to exclude At The Gates when you talk about the pioneers of melodic death metal. That is what I would define as metal-blasphemy

[lxXMETALXxl]

Yes, that is what YOU would define as metal, not necessarily everyone, it's all a matter of opinion, in yours; At the gates is god, not the same for me. good day/night.

[DarknessMatters]

I didn't say that At The Gates is the ultimate metalband, even though that is my opinion. What i meant to say which I don't know how you missed is that when you talk about the pioneers and "creators" of melodeath you're almost obliged to at least mention At The Gates, seeing as they played as big a role as DT and IF.

[lxXMETALXxl]

Ah yes, ty for the clarification, the way you termed it made you seem like a total ATG supremest, yes they did help pioneer the genre.

[AnclTsagaree]

@lxXMETALXxl : No, it was At The Gates, Dark Tranquillity, and In Flames that created it. Bodom didn't release anything til '97('94 if you're counting their demos under the Inearthed name), while the three bands I mentioned were churning out early melodeath since 1991-1993.

[Desolation72724]

True

Though i got into melodeath through bodom, it was In Flames, At the Gates and Dark Tranquillity

Though ATG is gone, In Flames jus doesn play melodic music anymore (IMO) so that leaves the great oldDT, goin good and goin strong i tell you!

[AnclTsagaree]

Well, I'd have to disagree on the In Flames. They aren't melodeath anymore yes, but they're still somewhat melodic. Just more melodic metalcore/melodic alternative metal.

@lxXMETALXxl it's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of fact. Not only had ATG been around longer than Bodom, they did help create the melodeath genre. Plus, there's no argument there, ATG is doubtlessly metal, let alone melodeath, there's nothing they qualify as otherwise.

[Desolation72724]

I cud take or give my life for this band \m/

[Nenos]

Det basljudet var jävligt sexigt :D

[dementisband]

i wanna know what strings they are using because they tune down to B and strings seem to be holding solid in place , i know its di addario but what gauge ?

any ideas ?

and of course dark tranquillity never mess up like those other bands out there..

its gonna be another masterpiece

[TheMillzy96]

@dementisband

id suggest around a 56-11 somewhere around there

[dementisband]

im using GHS boomers 70-12 but when i install those , i need to do a full intonation for the guitar which sucks and a 56-11 strings wouldnt hold properly on B tuning ,dont you think ?

[TheMillzy96]

@dementisband

70's is a bit excessive dont you think lol

56-11 should hold it

i used 60-11 and that held fine and i have used 56 in the past and it works fine at least it held for me

[dementisband]

hmmm here we only get di addario 52-12 which is shit .

[0lo0l]

Ingen mer väntan vafan :O

Vill albumet nu! :D

[OrkaAllaLegobitar]

awsome :D, love the terminus cover haha :P

[Xatalion]

Can't waint:)

Dark Tranquillity rules

[13hype]

hell yes \m/

[ex0nic]

Riff at 1:37 reminds me of Sevendust - Enemy.

[mellevalariata]

[ex0nic]

Only a little bit. It just popped into my mind. Can't wait for this album.

[metalvictor]

[HeadbangingGlory]

[brokeastring]

the bass tone at the end was fair epic :)

..also that random few seconds of shredage halfway through... omg!!

[MunchieAKALilSoldier]

[Gurgum666]

I hope they'll put the terminus cover with the beer bottles on the next album!!!

Really nice :)

[jgadiaz]

[TheBejstam]

[Atreyu1611]
