DARK TRANQUILLITY - Phantom Days (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[@jgadiaz]

Been listening to DT for 25 years. They never disappoint.

[@Cruxvae]

The most consistent band in metal.

[@lionrock3]

Are you serious! Cus I listen to them since 1998 and this tune disappointed me. I am pleased the theme still the same. But sorry brother.

[@jgadiaz]

@@lionrock3 if you are expecting them to sound like they used to in the 90s and early 2000s you will obviously be disappointed. Their prime is behind them but they're still a solid band in the melodeath scene.

[@oregonflatland]

Sounds like an Atoma b-side. Not bad but the first single is never the best song.

[@shamone805]

Sounds great 👍 why this band never got the big push I'll never know , pioneers of melodeath I've loved them since I heard cornered , excellent track.

[@critman4080]

2:53 - That harmony... this needs to be done more.

Too right, the music and album art are so good together 👍

[@6sentient]

fascinating how they changed half of their band and STILL sound like the good,old,recognizable DT. they cannot create a bad song,this is magnificent,can't wait for whole album.

[@Seni0r_Lobo]

The main composers are Mikael, Anders (drums) and Martin (keyboard), this is the secret of the succesful :)

[@zmo1581]

@@Seni0r_Lobo yeah, and occasionally Niklas wrote a few songs, lyrics, music everything by him and honestly those were the most haunting and biggest punching songs. For example Inside the Particle Storm and Iridium. I was really sad to know he left, because it means that side of DT might be lost forever. But who knows, we'll see this new album :)

[@h1n1worm]

@@zmo1581 no, you are absolutely right. without martin and niklas ,i might be wrong, but DT is in the past.

[@zmo1581]

@@h1n1worm well, that was just one side of DT. There are still tons of songs written by the other members and as said before me, Mikael, Anders and Martin (Brändström) are all just as much the heart of DT as Niklas and Martin (Henriksson) were :) so I am not worried that this album is going to be surely awesome

[@Zombieritual17]

​@TheMrAdax at least it isn't in flames

[@theabyssaldevil]

I love how the 2 guitarists in this song, each of whom can shred up a storm, chose not to use their superpowers, to stick stylistically and technically to Dark Tranquillity's typical melancholic themes. Great song!

[@tiagoramalhais5493]

Indeed, as much as i love Johan's and Chris's playing in their previous bands, this restrained yet very DT-ish approach to melodies and solos works great in this song.

[@AlucardsQuest]

@@tiagoramalhais5493 It might be refreshing for them too, to not have to stick to "what fans know".

[@SpookyApparition]

100% agree. Beautiful leads that blend perfectly with the song (and each other! Love how there are 2 leads for a bit)

[@Xamantu]

From someone who never listened to DT before: This song is absolutely fantastic. So fucking powerful.

[@sargh]

Actually DT have no bad songs / albums. Enjoy listening.

[@saraprva4172]

Glad you enjoyed it, My favorite band, I have everything they ever released & nothing dissapoints, check out some other albums - Gallery - Projector - Charachter - any DT album tbh. Enjoy 😀

[@dmphax]

Welcome, been a fan for 20 years, they have no bad albums.

[@taomahNEGEV]

@@sargh All their albums suck after Fiction, unfortunately. Moment is no exception.

[@milanradulovic3915]

@@taomahNEGEV If you don't like don't listen. One artist has right to evolve on his way. Although someone will not like it. I personally like they opted for a melancholy and slow emotions.

[@iambedlam]

Chris Amott has been one of my biggest influences since I was a little kid. His addition to DT is a HUGE come-up.

[@Sabbathman1979]

20 years ago I discovered a great band called Dark Tranquillity. That's half a life ago. This song is another culmination point, another validation of talent. And hear how Stanne delivers some of his best vocal work here!

[@danr7838]

The kings of melodic death metal - past, present and future! Long live the kings!

[@Zombieritual17]

In flames would be if they didn't start sucking

[@denizcandilber4877]

"Haven + Damage Done + Character + Fiction + Construct + Atoma = Moment" are mixed together brilliantly. In conclusion, we've got our new masterpiece once again to spend our time further on listening.

[@SpookyApparition]

2:53 when the second guitar starts soloing... damn. that whole part is mindblowing.

[@VulgrimOfficial]

The masters of melancholy are back😍😍😍😍

[@formatcforcortex2465]

its insomnium

[@LordAgerord]

@@formatcforcortex2465 I like Insomnium but they are the children of DT

[@mister-BH]

@@LordAgerord yeah but they're more melancholic and doomy, DT is more dystopian/futuristic but they do have their fair share of sadder songs.

[@TEBEStudioUK]

I tried to make a vocal cover of them...I don't know if it came well but when you sing Stanne you feel the melancholy inside like a stone!

[@stevenkilpatrick6397]

At the gates

[@darkfateinc7333]

How long have I been looking for such music, just what I need! Awesome!

[@lotuseater90]

They played this in Ankara/Turkey and i was there. It was brilliant. Best experience of my life. Long Live Dark Tranquillity!

[@katieweil6530]

This is getting me through the monotony of 2020. I adore this band so much. No matter what im going through theres a song that helps. Dark Tranquility saves me yet again

[@massipapi5884]

Music helps and saves... \m/

[@mura_guitar]

After I listened to this song, I thought Christopher Amott and Johan Reinholdz have brought Dark Tranquillity to a new level. I'm a big fan of Arch Enemy (especially Johan Liiva era), so I'm glad to listen to Christopher's guitar in Dark Tranquillity, which is my favorite band too. Looking forward to their new album!

[@balazstoth2753]

And Johan Reinholdz played with Liiva as well on the first two Non-Exist records :)

[@user-eu4qs8pz3e]

Sundin is a great guitarist, I am very sorry that he is gone, but I am happy that he continues to take care of the visual part. I am also a fan of Arch Enemy, even if I preferred the era of Angela, I know Chris well, he has a glorious past and he does not have to prove anything more but I am sure that his contribution will give further class to Dark Tranquility and you can already feel it. . I heard a few notes from the new album and a new masterpiece is already on the way! Their music and lyrics convey feelings that their name describes very well. I've been a fan since '92, they have never let me down and continue to be one of the best top bands on the world stage!

[@konstantinnorkin]

I never stop admiring creativity of this group, enchanting and alluring vocals of Mikael Stanne.

@imuglierthanyou Maybe it's just my nostalgia kicking in, as Whoracle and Jester race were both on a burnt CD my cousin made me well over 10 years ago when I was first getting into the melo-death from Europe... but I still think those two albums are both extremely well made. That being said, Dark Tranquility's Fiction was my first time actually buying an album, so this band still holds a special place in my heart.
