DARK TRANQUILLITY is that kind of band that never lets you down when it comes to live shows. ![]()
Promoting “Construct” (released in May), they played those most recent songs in the beginning… and “Uniformity” was the encore – which Mikael Stanne made us believe that it had been a last minute call, since we had been such a wonderful crowd… In-between there was a complete roll of classics, including “Silence And The Firmament Withdrew”, “A Bolt Of Blazing Gold” and “Undo Control” – these last two with the participation of TRISTANIA-Mariangela. She did better here than with her own band, but maybe it’s just the quality of the music that’s way higher…
On Valkyrian Music I listed my top-5 gigs of 2013. If it had been 10, this one would surely be there – even if they were playing with bass samples, since no one replaced Daniel Antonsson. ![]()
