Dark Tranquillity   Origin: Sweden     This page updated 09.22.07   Along with the venerable In Flames, Sweden's Dark Tranquillity pioneered the subgenre of death metal known as the Gothenburg sound (named for the town these two bands call home). Highly melodic guitar-driven musicianship, akin to classic metal elements one normally would associate with bands such as Iron Maiden, is overlaid by the angered growls prevalent in the death metal genre. The years have seen Dark Tranquillity stick to their core sound, albeit with occasional experimentation along the way, whereas fellow deathsters In Flames have embraced a more commercialized "deathcore" sound on recent releases. Ironically, both bands shared the same two vocalists early on in their careers.
