DARK TRANQUILLITY was founded in 1989,
the name already then showing an intention
of combining extreme dualities and contradictions
into a creative multiverse of expression.
The band draws upon science and mythology to
form their psyche-black tonal worlds.
Since the beginning, the band has targeted
such wide areas as shamanism, quantum psychics,
chaos theory, psychology, arts, improved states
of conciousness and self-destruction.
Keywords for our musical method are
intensity and melody. We optimize forbidden
combinations of intellect and flesh,
of harshness and beauty,
of ambitions and dis-ambitions.
