Dark Tranquillity to tech/extreme prog

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

DT's music is big caleidoscope having many
aspects of severel genres such as black metal, melodic death metal, atmospheric
rock/metal and progressive metal. Their music, mostly their first cds
Skydancer, Gallery, Mind's I, is very much of progressive aspects, highly
acclaimed guitar work (as happens in case of Göteborg bands) and rhythmic
section, Anders Jivarp is definitely one of the most superb extreme metal
drummers. Although, their newer albums can be found differing in style but
making always something newer or different on the way of refinement, the band
might be bodkinned in tech/extreme prog category.

	never heard of this band as prog. Melo death yes. So a very big no to their inclusion in PA.

	The Gallery is one of their best albums and probably includes some prog elements, but their overall discography speaks the opposite I am afraid, so I will tend to agree with Lucas
