This song helps me shift my negative focus. ^^

[harshavardhany9]

Mikeal is a gentleman I met him.

[MrMetalfr3ak]

Heavy metal is supposed to be at 11 not 1!!! (Those who've seen Spinal Tap knows what I mean)!

[TheMRMelodicDeath]

like!

[dinodom1998]

dude i really need this song as louder til i bleed out my ears then il be happy

[imhigh001]

people what you have to say about eluveitie and ensiferum..?

[Tjeerdoweirdo]

Hello, 240p we meet again....

[OffTheMenukicksass]

The Absence + Darkest Hour= Dark Tranquillity 

[RikiazGaming]

@OffTheMenukicksass Hell yeah man =]

[videogamerselite270]

I let my Ford Focus shift on its own because it's that much off a boss.

[DeadlyNinjaDrummer]

their drummer sucks.

[carmine5120]

@DeadlyNinjaDrummer You suck. You cant do any better.

[mirkin78]

Dark Tranquillity was my favorite band for many, many years, but KALMAH TAKES THEIR PLACE :)

[xXFrozenKingXx]

@mirkin78 you know Insomnium ? ^^ insomnium is in my opinion the best melo death band :)

[mirkin78]

@xXFrozenKingXx of course I do ) and I like them very, very much, can't wait for their new album )

[Thytak]

@mirkin78 KALMAH I FORGOT THEY EXISTED THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I owe you one internet stranger.

[TopiAS06]

@Thytak insomnium and noumena ;)

[ANTIFAxFINLAND]

"Artist: Shift" --> FAIL

[My6God6Is6Ville]

Stanne is the man who perfected the growling technique...

[facingtheswarm]

Staaaaaaaannnneeeeee!!!!!!

[Loreal4me]

uhm, DT is pretty good, yeah

but Children of Bodom is definetly the best melodeath band

[Lightsilentdeath]

@Loreal4me maybe the first 2 album, then is pure shit, it's bad 'cause i was expecting so much from them.

[abwi1]

@Loreal4me Maybe their first three albums, because the rest of them are extremely boring.

[tanshaomala]

@abwi1 I cannot agree with you more, sir. Something Wild, Hatebreeder, and Follow the Reaper were all amazing albums. The rest however, I cannot say....

[abwi1]

@tanshaomala That's exactly what i just said.

[Thytak]

@Loreal4me Children of Bodom doesn't count bro thats fkn Intense Melodic Power Death Alexi Laiho Metal

[HazyMetalboy141]

51 dislikes??? oh give me a fucking break...

[BL1RN5Y]

soooo quiet :/ whats up with the volume?? o.O

[icee562]

I had summer school home work to do and my Focus Shift

[blacjack11]

I FEEL MY FOCUS SHIIIIIIIIFT!

[cuDDLeSH1t]

lets just strip and run around naked everyday

[rencrow]

@cuDDLeSH1t  stfu

[smexyyyyyy]

omg. they suck

[gukgung]

@smexyyyyyy hahaha

[dsavish]

@smexyyyyyy

get out, DT is probably the best melo death band ever.

nope scratch that, they are the best.

[rencrow]

@dsavish They're not the best, they're just one of the best. Theres plenty of other equally good bands too.

[videogamerselite270]

@smexyyyyyy It's probably just not your cup of tea, but they do NOT suck. It takes great skill to craft something this beautiful and this heavy.

[sirshitsalot007]

I let my focus shift from doing my homework by listening to this song

[TheDragonbuster100]

NOT LOUD ENOUGH!!!!

[carmine5120]

wow. just wow.

i hate death metal, but i had to wow at this song. and the guy screaming actually sounds good in a darker song like this. guess ill have to look into these guys.

[Uberleet123123]

@carmine5120 It sounds better beacuse It's melodic death metal, you're probably thinking deathcore like Whitechapel/Job for a cowboy is deathmetal, That's just senseless thrashing.

[dsavish]

@Uberleet123123

no, it sounds better cuz of stanne, some other melo death bands/leads are good too, but he's in a league of his own, along with his band.

theres no better melo death vocalist/band.

nuff said.

[abwi1]

@carmine5120 This is not pure Death Metal, it's Melodic Death Metal which is also very good , and it's not called "screaming" that's what mallcore bands do, this is called Growling.

[carmine5120]

@abwi1 Sorry, factual error.

[Vani1laGueriLa]

@carmine5120 believe me, death metal (more importantly melometal) are extremely acquired tastes. i absolutely hated it at first, but then you start appreciating the little things. for me it was guitar riffs. melometal always has amazing riffs. then it became some choruses i liked and eventually i listened to the choruses while playing xbox (great boss music). it grows on you slowly ever since the first song you liked. you like one band, then that becomes hundreds. enjoy the music my friend

[carmine5120]

@Vani1laGueriLa You make a great point. I like the riffs in this song as well, and the heavy, focused thrashing that makes the whole of the song. I will enjoy the music, thanks.

[carmine5120]

@Vani1laGueriLa I did. I found a deathcore band that I can actually say yes to, as well. Heard of Unearth?

[Vani1laGueriLa]

@carmine5120 not yet, ill check em out now

[carmine5120]

@Vani1laGueriLa They do scream, but they can make it sound good with melodies.

[Vani1laGueriLa]

@carmine5120 dude. check out equivalence by insomnium. excellence

[carmine5120]

@Vani1laGueriLa I sure as hell will.

[TopiAS06]

@carmine5120 and eternal tears of sorrow! :D

[Dzschelebo]

i farted to this song.

[666RedGolf3]

Hey DT Fans, i covered this Song !! -> /watch?v=qus09TZPGrg

[jolun042]

I'm a Melodeath metal fan, but what's with the grins and trying to look "monsterlike" when sining? It just looks ridicolous...

[80handicappeople]

@jolun042 Well, being a vocalist, I do it myself. It helps to pronunciate words better while bearing your teeth. However, doing lows it makes it nearly impossible (at least for me) to pronunciate shit while doing it.

[Mrdanthrash]

i like this band, great melodic death metal!

[MrDodstink]

I got into Dark Tranquility´s furious,grim and sad reigns and dominions since early´95 when I firstly listened their debut album!

[TheUnknownanswer]

Hey guys I did a cover of this fuckin beast ass song \m/.

[moelf5]

0:54 WHAT THE F...

[thepsyqo]

waiting in georgiaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!

[xSkarprox]

hes such a great singer! So easy to understand what he's saying. How do u learn how to sing like this?

[aznkriss133]

@xSkarprox zen of screaming 1 and 2

[leetsmithownsu]

@xSkarprox zen of screaming is fry, this is falsechord, just lots of practice, there are plenty of tutorials on youtube, look up falsechord screaming

[ThoseThatRemain]

Dark Tranquillity is fucking amazing! I have been a DT fan since I first heard The Gallery. I bought every one of their albums except Skydancer, and i plan on getting a tattoo for each album of theirs I own. Already have The Mind's I and next i will get the Haven dots and after that, lyrics from Character.

[voidofdeath]

Audio quality really fcukin' SUCKS!! Is that an audio to upload, i mean really WTF!?? -_-

DT RULES!! ♥

[hughsarron206]

Ex ninillo is the shit

[yennavai646]

@Rreptillian - ha ha..C'mon man..in a country of 1.2 billion and counting you think there won't be any metal heads?although there are a lot of posers out there,there are still dedicated metal heads here..\m/..keep the metal banner flying high..

[jk47hm4]

I am now a Dark Tranquility fan.

[Focus923]

[pavithrancr]

I'm gonna watch them live today...Really excited. respect from Hyderabad, India

[yennavai646]

\m/....Respect and admiration from Bangalore,India...Dark Tranquility will be performing live on Saturday 12th February 2011 in Hyderabad..Metal-heads from Hyderabad don't miss an opportunity to pay ur tributes..Wish they had a gig in B'lore too..peace

[tijorbus]

@yennavai646 we were there! what a performance!!

[Rreptillian]

@yennavai646 HOLY SHIT!! I'm not the only Indian in the world who listens to metal?!?!

[InHomeGuitarLessons]

Another shitty upload of a hard working and deserving band by an overloaded record company

[Greenoathz]

@InHomeGuitarLessons  you understand perfectly...

[TheHereticpain]

nice :3 n.n

[lovelynightbird]

not as good as cradle of filth

[flyingspagetti]

@lovelynightbird lol, different metal genres dude. Black metal comparing to melodic gothenburg death metal? Oh, and COF delivers mass suckage, even justin bieber is better than them.

[lovelynightbird]

@flyingspagetti dude!!!! woah there i did not mean for you to take offense! i like this band and i was just saying what i prefer...no need to get worked up over it! sorry you took offense to my comment but that was not my intent at all.

[flyingspagetti]

@lovelynightbird No offence taken, just commenting on the comparison and expressing my opinion.

[lovelynightbird]

@flyingspagetti ok then

[Forschisomyniso]

@lovelynightbird just stfu guys! its a fking nice song!

[lovelynightbird]

@Forschisomyniso i know its a nice song!!! i listen to it all the time

[1masterdestroyer]

I don't know whch band came first, but darkest hour sounds a hell of a lot like dark tranquility.

[forty6andto]

@1masterdestroyer that's because DH is HEAVILY influenced by bands such as DT and In Flames (their older stuff). DH is/was essentially inspired by the Gothenburg metal scene and classic Swedish death metal like At the Gates.

[tsm1th611]

@1masterdestroyer dark tranquility came WAY before darkest hour. darkest hour is also melodic death metal, they have sited DT as one of there main influences

[MrFoo53]

srry if im really wrong, but sounds like a death metal Dream Theater XD

[Turco949]

Me likes.....me likes a lot!  =)

[ahauntedmantra]

If you like this, you'll like a Haunted Mantra. We are a melodic death metal band from Charlotte, NC, and are very heavily influenced by the Gothenberg sound.

[MrLorenzoe29]

nice... Hate people that compare,,, Be happy! why coming whit unnecessary arguments... The Band is good that's it...

[fleafarteasy]

So few views compared to Arc Enemy and In Flames....weird. They're every bit as good.

[whitechapelmusic123]

this is the type of death metal i can listen to!

[jeramiekoval]

@whitechapelmusic123 thats funny because whitechapel is way different type of death metal, but i still like them though

[whitechapelmusic123]

@jeramiekoval yea i know

[forevermisanthrope]

This band is beyond words!

[jodrleio]

If everyone in the world saw a DT video...

[rockntroopen]

i love dark tranquillity

geetz from israel please come ill be there!!!

[ichai1]

@rockntroopen Shit i hope so too! !

[Zusik12900]

in flames can go suck cocks with their new direction, this is true melodic death metal!!

[PremiumRepose]

I looooooove this audio quality. 

[linkslayer15]

dark tranquillity needs to come back to the US  ASAP

[nitokflip]

vote all for dislike for all videos off justin bieber

[DarkRaviForDeath]

wait why isn't this at its best, oh cause the volume isn't blasted

[spenlaub]

awesome, it kinda reminds me to eluveitie

[druglesshippie]

@InternetLawman doesn't seem like you are following your own rules.

[DivinedAnarchy]

@InternetLawman HaHa what about don't copy+paste that on other videos, and u mentioned J*** B**** 2 times

[Driztdor]

@InternetLawman

You should add rule one more:

''Don't never post these ''rules'' on any video''. I liked more those stupid Justin Bieber jokes than these ''rules'' on every fucking video.

[ironmaiden994]

@InternetLawman the "decrees" is the dumbst shit i've ever seen... get real, no law will ever be respected on internet, it's just to fucking huge

p.s. the JB jokes make me laugh, cus it allows people to "express" some fealings towards JB.

[reaperithemorgue333]

49 people have niether shifted their focus or hailed satan

[NEGATiVup3]

metal best genre ever!!!!!!

[darktranquillityPT]

03/10/10 hard club- porto

PORTUGAL

the best!!!!:D

[boatgoat1965]

Aww man, this is such a fucking fantastic song. Heavy metal is the genre above all genres for sure. Plus, it's hot.

[LandCaster93]

that was beautiful.. i want to see more of this, metal fans joining to together as one and helping each other out, gaining knowledge of what brutal music is out there! we shouldnt fight about what metal bands are better, but helping each other out to discover great music!! STAY MEATL!!

[killswitchengagefan4]

sorry for the criticism guys - this band is good but this band puts me off when i look at the singer of the band, i dunno why it just does.

[n1k3t]

@killswitchengagefan4 respect mikael stanne or you'll be stoned by metalheads. idiot.

[killswitchengagefan4]

@n1k3t haha i will be stoned by metalheads? do you think you're a metalhead do you? listening to melodic death metal does not make you a metalhead =)

[n1k3t]

@killswitchengagefan4 Dude. I just saw your profile. The music you like ... killswitch engage and fucking slipknot. I hope you don't go around calling yourself a metalhead bro. Cause liking slipknot itself is a reason to get raped in the ass.. What the fuck are you trying to say? "Listening to melodic death metal does not make you a metalhead"? I listen to Tech death, Brutal death, Melodic death, Power metal, Thrash metal, Folk Metal... What are you on mate?

[killswitchengagefan4]

@n1k3t dude i like loads of bands, i just couldn't be assed to put them all down on my page. yes killswitch engage are my favourite band, and slipknot are quality, i can like other metal genres dont you think? And tbh, i wouldn't call myself a metalhead that woukd be disrespectful, i am only 16 so my experience as a true metal fan isn't there yet but it will be.

[n1k3t]

@killswitchengagefan4 Haha alright dude. Maybe I was a bit too rude there. Got a bit carried away. And yes I did listen to Killswitch engage and Slipknot back when I was 14 or 15. And then I moved on... and so will you. You'll grow out of it. Trust me. :D I just got a bit annoyed when you said "do you think you're a metalhead do you?" cause I am and metal is a major part of my life and I think that was a pretty disrespectful comment you made. But nevermind.

[killswitchengagefan4]

@n1k3t alright mate, yeah i agree i don't know you that was a bad comment. I like this band they're good. and tbh, not to be disrespectful or annoying or anything i did think you were taking it a bit too far. now i am at the stage where i am looking at everything (in metal) and taking everything into perspective.

[n1k3t]

@killswitchengagefan4 Alright man. Peace. :p Check out Therein and Misery's crown to experience his amazing clean vocals. Trust me you'll like it.

[n1k3t]

@killswitchengagefan4 fuckin killswitch engage faggot.. bet that singer turns you on.

[killswitchengagefan4]

@n1k3t mate, what's wrong? being all aggresive??? There is no need calm down. take a chill pill, there is no need for you to be all negative. smile =)

[lostsoul1552]

dt's da best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[forevermisanthrope]

Fucking AWESOME!

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

Most Metal bands are known and sell albums cause they make shitty sellout music.

Dark Tranquillity is know and sell album just of the 100% percent music quality.

[ShimmySystem]

Terminus would have been better for a video than Focus Shift imo.

[demoskinosPL]

i like this speed ;D \m/

[freddieshafi]

this song reminds me of winter

[andresrr9964]

puro sason papa!!

[FlamingMuffinz]

Holy shit, this song is fucking amazing.

[TheDani6669]

[sigma1848]

Just ten more hours to wait... and then I´ll have them live... Munich/Germany, Backstage Hall... Mayhem on stage!

[firevil666]

yeah! D.T. keep it like that and never sell out like "In Flames "

[TheDani6669]

@impendingdoom19 cause i want boys like u to make me that question!!!lol

[Adzyman1]

GOD FUCKING DAMN! This song makes me want to make some freaking cookies or something! It's just so fucking brutal!

[lxXMETALXxl]

@Adzyman1 Cookie comment is Cookie. \m/

[KingAntonee]

@Adzyman1 Well put!

[igothefuzz]

[sarathescholar]

[HorrorAngel666]

Century media can you please re-upload this with normal audio volume? Thanks.

[Fantasydude14]

@1337inf Does it matter? yeah I guess so but I love them both. It's like choosing a favorite son.
