| | In Flames, Killswitch Engage, Dark Tranquillity, Sentenced Live Review |
 | | Mikael Stanne was surprisingly engaged and upbeat; Stanne was the catalyst of the ever-increasing rapport between the audience and the band. | | | Dark Tranquillity plowed through material from their last two releases, but managed to play gems like "Sun Fired Blanks," "Punish My Heaven," and "Zodijackyl Light." The highlight for me was "White Noise/Black Silence" which is as close to perfect a song that I've heard in the last year or so. | | | Dark Tranquillity, also on their first tour of North America, brought the crowd to feverish heights as years of pent up demand to see the band evaporated in the measured precision of the band's singular and lethal style. |

| | Dark Tranquillity - Satan Stole My Teddybear |
| | As witnessed on Dark Tranquillity's debut for Finland's tiny but efficient Spinefarm, the songcraft is textured, stately and the performance is propelled by a youthful enthusiasm, since lost as the band have become obvious masters of their craft. | | | That album became one of my favorites from Dark Tranquillity as the band broadened their horizons with some excellent clean singing from Michael Stanne and the inclusion of occasional electronics to expand their sound. | | | Count this as one of the best albums of the year. |

| | Dark Tranquillity |
| | Dark Tranquillity was formed in December 1989 and has since then become one of the biggest melodic death metal bands in the world. | | | They were one of the pioneers to creat what would later be know as the "Gothenburg sound", a style of death metal with very strong melodies and folk music influences. |

| | Rough Edge: Dark Tranquillity CD Reviews |
| | For the most part this track does sound like a remix, but what it does is reinforce the notion that Dark Tranquillity have in the midst a person who could create alternate versions of their albums in the vein that Fear Factory did with “Remanufacture” and “Fear Is The Mindkiller” remix albums. | | | Dark Tranquillity is Mikael Stanne on vocals, Fredrik Johansson and Niklas Sundin on guitars, Martin Henriksson on bass, and Anders Jivarp on drums. | | | This song shows Dark Tranquillity digging deeper into their dark, melancholy past with the same kind of angered focus that marked 2002's stellar release “Damage Done.” The track is jam packed with riffs, stylistic twists, and has an epic feel without losing its aggressive center. |

| | Dark Tranquillity interview |
| | Dark Tranquillity's fifth album "Haven" denies the band's turn to softer metal dimensions in its previous album "Projector," and returns to harsh vocals and powerful melodic death metal in the best Gothenburg manner. | | | Anyway, Dark Tranquillity's enthusiasm that shined in their second album "The Gallery" is not in "Haven," but "Haven" offers instead maturity, more melody, and smoother edges; and it is damn good at displaying Gothenburg class with heavy songs oriented to a live setting. | | | I have always preferred the subtle elegance of Dark Tranquillity to the directness of their townmates In Flames, but, if prioritizing the enthusiasm, in 2000 I would probably tend to favor The Haunted's second album "The Haunted Made Me Do It" most. |

| | DARK TRANQUILLITY was hailed by Brave Words and Bloody Knuckles as "the best Swedish band on the planet," and this 11-track epic is sure to help solidify this esteemed notion. | | | The demand for DARK TRANQUILLITY was so intense that the group was forced to return to the U.S. in early 2003 with Nile and labelmates Strapping Young Lad for a Guitar World sponsored trek. | | | After a two-year hiatus DARK TRANQUILLITY returned in 2002 with Damage Done, heralded as a return to their roots and an album that set the stage for the group's first U.S. visits. |

The disc finds Dark Tranquillity exploring new ways of mixing both their old and new sounds, while creating a mix of songs that stays in line with the ideals of melodic death metal. |

| | Dark Tranquillity: Character - PopMatters Music Review |
| | Dark Tranquillity were one of the progenitors of the mid-'90s form of Scandinavian metal known as "The Gothenburg Sound", so-named after the Swedish city in which several bands were based. | | | As it is, the song is a perfect encapsulation of Dark Tranquillity's flawless balance between melody and aggression. | | | To their credit, Dark Tranquillity have managed to put out their best record in years with Character, while continuing to dance with what brung 'em. |

| | Dark Tranquillity : Enter Suicidal Angels - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
| | Released in 1996, the Enter Suicidal Angels EP was a taster for Dark Tranquility's subsequent album, The Mind's I, having been recorded during the same Studio Fredman sessions in the summer of 1996, and showcasing that record's first single, "Zodijakyl Light," as its opening track. | | | Furthermore, it served to introduce Dark Tranquility's increasingly straightforward melodic death metal style -- largely devoid of the archaic complexities of early-'90s Scandinavian death metal, which had bogged down their often flawed previous efforts. | | | As well as the aforementioned album track, these improvements can be readily observed in both the speed-addled "Razorfever" and the mid-paced "Shadow Façade," but not the anomalous "Archetype," which takes a shocking detour into acid house dance beats mixed with rough samples from earlier Dark Tranquility songs. |

| | Dark Tranquillity Character review - Laut For Metal magazine |
| | Then again as far as Dark Tranquillity are concerned, I would find exactly the same dilemma if I were to try doing this with their albums. | | | The name of this album is Character, which is precisely the sort of descriptive term I would use alongside Dark Tranquillity, a band who have just this in spades. | | | That band is not Dark Tranquillity, but in my honest and humble opinion they are most definitely deserving of a bit more recognition from the masses. |

| | Dark Tranquillity was the very first Swedish metal band I ever heard, and they have always been among my favorites. | | | "Damage Done" showcases a Dark Tranquillity that draws from both the goth/black metal melodies that characterized "Projector" and the thick, uplifting guitar riffs that characterized "Haven". | | | Ever since the release of the experimental "Projector" in '99, Dark Tranquillity have done wonders to distance themselves from the critically acclaimed and yet highly restricting Gothenburg sound. |

| | Dark Tranquillity is one of the best melodic death metal bands out there. | | | That said, performance-wise Dark Tranquillity is spot-on during the “studio” show, deftly blending Niklas Sundin and Marti Henriksson’s intricate guitar work with Anders Jivarp and Michael Nicklasson’s ferocious rhythms and Stanne’s burly growl. | | | Live Damage paints a pretty complete picture of Dark Tranquillity, a band that – given the rising popularity of Swedish metal and extreme music in general – we’ll likely be hearing a lot about in the future. |

| | Furthermore one can find a bunch of newer tracks from recent times (coming from the recording sessions of the last three studio albums) which never made it to the official albums, or some of them could only be found on limited editions. | | | While busy working on their brand new album, they release in the meantime a double CD for the price of a single one. | | | These songs sound more basic and underground of course than the present-day sound of Dark Tranquillity. |

| | PunkROCKS.net CD Review - Dark Tranquillity - Character |
| | The songs on “Character” are sped up a ton, and even a few blast beats are brandished, which I can’t recall hearing on any of their previous albums. | | | The band showcased their talents for writing somber keyboard driven metal on “Haven”. | | | Then two years later they dropped the incredibly pummeling “Damage Done.” Both records have accumulated a massive amount of plays in my CD player, and I could never figure out why Dark Tranquillity never acquired the popularity of bands like In Flames or The Haunted. |

| | Projector has the most clean vocals of any Dark Tranquillity release. | | | Not only the difference of vocals have such a contrast but the feel of songs: as many songs have a relaxed feel, such as "ThereIn" (which has some pretty interesting lyrics I must say) and "Auctioned" than songs with a very aggressive, upbeat feel. | | | Probably about 50% or 60% clean vocals but still plenty of death metal vocals. |

| | THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - DARK TRANQUILLITY - Projector |
| | Already the opener "FreeCard" is a very successful mixture of the "old" DARK TRANQUILLITY and the newer influences, because in addition to the highly Melodic Death Metal you can also find calmer parts with piano and Stannes natural voice. | | | Firstly there is "Day Of End"; which may be the biggest shock to those who liked the brutal side of DARK TRANQUILLITY, because the beginning of it is nearly pure Gothic in the DEINE LAKAIEN-vein, very dark and atmospheric with deep, clear vocals, before a guitar comes into the play as well. | | | Their fourth longplayer now sees a switch to one of the best Metal-labels of the universe: Century Media Records, a change that was long overdue, because stylistically D.T. did not fit into the musical scheme of Osmose at all... |

| | The Gothenburg sound was pioneered by bands such as Dark Tranquility, At the Gates, and In Flames. | | | The Swedish and Finnish bands, inspired by Bathory and other 1980s thrash metal bands, were more popular than the Norwegian bands, who were influenced strongly by black metal and included keyboards and chaotic riffs. | | | The Swedish (and Finnish) bands used grindcore-influenced riffs and soon added prog rock-style flourishes. |

| | Yet, for as much of an onslaught as Haven is, what makes it thus is not mere velocity (as on the band's mid-'90s work), but rather a wise(ned) decision to mostly stick to fist-pumpin', thoroughly headbangin' mid-tempos, most of which lend a uniquely rock 'n roll flair, however dark a variety, to the proceedings. | | | To those in the metallic know, Dark Tranquillity craft some of the most provocative and emotional sounds around. | | | However, last year's decidedly softer Projector, while still a bold piece of art, found the band's generally somber mood getting the best of them. |
