[edit] Article history

Some page history preserved at Talk:Dark Tranquillity/Old duplicate version following merger of two articles with overlapping page histories. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 13:53, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Discography

Is there a good reason each of this band's albums need a seperate page? Dark Nexus 18:04, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

That's quite the standard, now isn't it.... Spearhead 18:17, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
For the same reason many many other bands have the same treatment here.--Skeev 19:12, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Separate discography? much like the in flames entry, this should probably receive the same treatment, it's really beefy and could shorten down the wiki for the band itself considerably, who else thinks so?Shatterzer0 08:04, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
Normally separate discographies are created when an article is too long. This article as of now barely has a bio section, when an article is too long it will say so in the edit window and recommend that the article be "split". This article is not yet long enough and the In Flames article wasn't long enough for it to be split either, but at least that article was somewhat long and is going to get longer really soon. --Leon Sword 01:29, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article content

Is the section about the Darkthrone alliance really relevant to the article?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.13.216.241 (talk • contribs) 07:56, 8 August 2006 (UTC).

No black metal or what so ever. Actually I'm bad in the english, that sorry for my english, but still Dark Tranquillity were NEVER black, if you mean that, they had influenced by the Darkthrone. Dark Tranquillity are just straight melodic death metal, not anything kind of black.

it's spam. And I removed it Spearhead 16:03, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Band members

Nicklasson and Brandstrom? Shouldn't it include when these guys joined the band? I'm not sure when this is though... Demonofthefall 04:26, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Is there a specific reason why they named themselves Dark Tranquillity instead of Dark Tranquility? Why is there the extra L? Zouavman Le Zouave (Talk to me! • O)))) 22:57, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Well here in the U.S. and apparently in Sweden too, tranquillity is spelled with two Ls. --Leon Sword 03:06, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Oh okay ^^ Thanks a lot! Zouavman Le Zouave (Talk to me! • O)))) 09:36, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Genre

I think ,that dark tranquillity can be considered also Symphonic death metal. Im not sure. But they had some strong symphonic elements. Can dark tranquillity considered also symphonic death metal. They have a really some symphonic elements. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.112.15.197 (talk) 15:58, 8 May 2007 (UTC).

No, symphonic metal and all its subgenres all have one thing in common, they all have elements that sound similar to a classical symphony. Granted Dark Tranquillity's music is very atmospheric and some songs contain prominent piano parts but I have yet to hear of the band using cellos, flutes, or violins as prominent instruments. Just because the band features piano and keyboards doesn't mean they are a symphonic metal band, piano and keyboards are common instruments in a variety of other genres too. --Leon Sword 00:19, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

PROGRESSIVE METAL

Definitiv is at fiction a mix of Melodeath and Progressive Metal! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.247.115.120 (talk) 23:23, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

eh then go just for the album if you find a source. DT are the founders of melodeath and one of the few bands never acused of selling out. Haxxiy (talk) 23:12, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

I said a MIX!!! At least FICTION, so Progressive Metal (later) because Fiction is the latest Album! READ before EDIT!!!

[edit] Videography

Are there any sources to confirm that a video for Terminus will be shot? I'm a die hard DT fan and I haven't heard a word about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.21.234.12 (talk) 13:06, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Power Metal

Colud these guys be considered to be power metal? Or atleast extreme power metal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.112.28.234 (talk) 18:25, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

No, they cannot. −₪ÇɨгcaғucɨҲ₪ kaiden 22:02, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not-Death albums

There are Swedish bands (i.e. In Flames, Soilwork, Katatonia etc.) that changed their genre in some albums and this brought discussion and debate. I think that the same should be done for DT albums like Projector or (particularly) Haven, that don't sound like any other death metal albums (especially Haven) even compared to old DT albums. Maybe we could label them simply as metal, or heavy metal with electronics and keyboards. What do you think about? 87.20.189.133 (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Although they may have changed, this is their brand of melodic death at maybe one of its softer forms. Some bands may be more "deathy" than other bands but they are still labeled melodic death because of their melodic guitars and less extreme nature than true death metal. They are still melodic death metal nonetheless and this can be applied to In Flames as well. −₪ÇɨгcaғucɨҲ₪ kaiden 23:14, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

A lot of people seem to think that melodeath is death metal. Well, it's not, it's a subgenre of death metal. Melodeath is it's own genre and it does not need to sound like death metal because it has it's own identifying characteristics. --Leon Sword (talk) 07:15, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

OK, I don't know ,much of Dark Tranquillity, In Flames or Soilwork, but Katatonia NEVER have been in NO WAY melodic death metal. They started as a DOOM METAL band now are playing soft-doom metal. --Replynka
