Dark
Tranquility - " Damage Done " |
This new Dark Tranquility
album isn't only good, but it could be considered their best album ever, they shure
deliver a very technical melodic death metal. In previous albums, they already included
less heavy riffs and more melodies than in most traditional death metal albums(heavier
riffs, dense & gothic atmospheres,etc), but in this "Damage Done" Dark
Tranquility they play a more direct sound, sharpened guitars and great solos, without
losing the "negative" atmosphere (in the good sense of the word) characteristic
of this type of metal. Althought Dark tranquility was never a "completly" death
band (because of it's unusual sound) they could now be labeled as "Melodic Death",
a growing genre thanks to such bands like "In Flames","Arch Enemy",
"Impaled Nazerene",etc. Songs like "Final resistance" or "Hours
Passed In Exile" sound very heavy/thrash influenced, showing the evolution of the
band, reaching the highest point of their musical performance. Before listening to this
album, my favourite Dark tranquility album was "The Gallery", but with this
"Damage Done", my favourite song is "Monochromatic Stains", a
true masterpiece!! highly recomendable, not only for Black/Death metal fans, but also for
those who seek something "fresh" in todays saturated dark sounds. |
