DARK TRANQUILLITY: GUITARIST MARTIN HENRIKSSON QUITS

Swedish melodic death metal warriors DARK TRANQUILLITY have announced guitarist MARTIN HENRIKSSON has quit the band after 26 years. 










DARK TRANQUILLITY have announced a FALL 2016 NORTH AMERICAN tour with SWALLOW THE SUN, ENFORCER AND STARKILL.









DARK TRANQUILLITY unleashed "Construct", 5/27/2013 (EUROPE) and 5/28/2013 (NORTH AMERICA) via CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS





FROM DARK TRANQUILLITY:
Founding D.T. guitarist Martin Henriksson quits.
While putting the finishing touches on the material for our next album, we have to inform you that guitarist and original member Martin Henriksson sadly but amicably left the band a couple of months ago. Here is his statement:
Dear Dark Tranquillity fans,
I recently quit the band. I feel I have lost the passion for playing music, and Dark Tranquillity deserves to have members that are 100% committed to the art. Therefore I decided it’s in everyone’s best interest to step aside and leave the band with the best possible ability to grow and get even stronger. I’ve had 26 years filled with wonderful memories and we made a lot of great music together, and for that I’m forever grateful. Thanks to all the fans, crew and other people involved that supported Dark Tranquillity through the years!
Yours,
Martin Henriksson

 FROM KATATONIA:
We present the first full track in the form of a lyric video, entitled 'Old Heart Falls' from our new album – The Fall of Hearts due for release on the 20th May 2016 through Peaceville Records.
On the release of the first new song Jonas Renkse comments “A song with lush textures, distinct dynamics and a memorable chorus are the trademarks to some of the most beloved Katatonia songs. 'Old Heart Falls' substantiates all of those atttributes, but is not by any means defining the album as a whole. There is more to come..."
About the lyric video Anders Nyström adds "Knowing we didn’t want another ”font circus” with all these words and letters competing in olympic acrobatics, we decided to make it extremely simple but also very real... 30 years ago when we were active in the underground tape-trading scene, there were no computers around, so we had to write all our letters by hand, or when feeling extra motivated, we used a typewriter. I clearly remember writing letters on a typewriter with a ribbon directly to paper created a special feeling that no computer would ever emulate. So determined to bring back this feeling for a brief couple of minutes, we passed on our idea to our talented friend Lasse Hoile, who made sure this beautiful Royal typewriter served a final purpose before crawling all the way back to the start, returning to dust..."
Also on friday, april 1st, fans around the world who pre-order (or already pre-ordered) the new album via iTunes will get an instant download of the song as a gratification track.

FROM PSYCROPTIC:
Glasgow, the asshole (from Manchester) in this picture is the reason we wont playing tonight - he smashed the window of the tour bus and made it impossible to travel there. After trying to get it fixed all day, so far no luck...making the travel impossible. We tried to make alternative arrangements, but to no avail.


FROM GORGUTS:
Because of yesterday's incident... the Glasgow show is canceled. Sorry. 
 Sadly due to a member of the public deciding to be subhuman scum and causing this damage to Gorguts tour bus, the show tonight in GLASGOW has been cancelled.
Bromotions and the touring team have been working since 7am to try and arrange alternative transport that will suit the bands however this has not happened. The bands and ourselves are as saddened as all of the fans to do this and we hope you can appreciate that this was not a decision we made easily.
Please contact point of purchase for a refund. THIS WILL NOT AFFECT THE REST OF THE TOUR. We'll see you in London tomorrow.

ABIGOR: "Many of us musicians in deed are magicians, priests, servants, soldiers - but the devil´s poets is what we need to be on the next album, to be released by Avantgarde Music by the end of this year."

Austrian black metal warriors ABIGOR have outlined 2016 plans and projects, including various re-issues and a new release (release date, title T.B.A.), due to be unleashed fall 2016 via AVANTGARDE RECORDS.








ABIGOR unleashed "LEYTMOTIF LUZIFER (THE 7 TEMPTATIONS OF MAN)", 7/18/2014 via AVANTGARDE RECORDS.







FROM ABIGOR:
„the next thousand years are ours“...
… but let us focus on 2016 for now. We made clear that we try to avoid contributing to the oversaturated „market“ and will not flood the mailorders with merchandise and re-releases. Yet there are a few things planned for this year, some ideas and projects are in our vaults for a while but now the time is right.
1. Leytmotif Luzifer on tape
AVANTGARDE kindly licensed this album to W.T.C. who have released a line of great quality cassettes in the past. And after a few obstacles we had to overcome, as usual when you demand a certain quality level, now it´s ready to be shipped. Watch the WTC store the coming week:
http://store.w-t-c.web-republic.de/
Quiet naturally, without consciously planning but acknowledging His will, there was another LL released - THY DARKENED SHADE´s Liber Lvcifer I, and it felt like a brother album to our own LL. The same focus on the more sophisticated side of Black Metal is present in both works, while at the same time, diabolical doxology forged into sonics proved both releases stem from the same source and point to the same aim. We submit to this and there is a very limited double tape box available, wraped in glorious gold to praise the grandeur of the devil. Exclusive ABIGOR & TDS patches are added for those of you who want to show your colour. We take this chance to thank Mr. Ben Zodiazepin for his ongoing layout support.

2. Kingdom Of Darkness on 7“
NUCLEAR WAR NOW will be printing Norway´s IMHOTEP magazine for the new world, and we have taken the chance to re-record the most important ABIGOR hymn, Kingdom Of Darkness. We asked Tharen (back then called Rune), who already did the 1993 demo version, to contribute the vocals. But not performing like he does on the excellent new AMESTIGON album, rather bringing back the atmosphere of the original. This turned out excellent and won´t be anything like the useless „modernized“ re-recordings but a true glimpse into the past. Our aim was to flare the original flame of the old days, as statement concerning the present BM scene, somehow disoriented in parts, lacking the ancient extremism and danger. Kingdom Of Darkness was reckless and uncompromising, just as Black Metal has to be. To underline this, Mr. Unhold has contributed passionate screams of torture and of victory.
https://luzifer.bandcamp.com/…/kingdom-of-darkness-2016-exc…
3. Quintessence on vinyl
AVANTGARDE MUSIC will send the vinyl version of Quintessence to press in the coming weeks, which we had in mind for quiet a long time and now feels right before the next steps into the future are made. The limited LP version will still represent the rougher side of BM, not at least considering the source (the story of the 2011 2xCD is known by now) but more dynamic in sound than the CD version - and like the A5 release it will include ABIGOR´s early demos, with lux devicta est surely being one of our most important recordings.

4. new album on AVANTGARDE 2016
Right after the recording of the multi-layered Leytmotif Luzifer, the three of us (PK, TT and Silenius) discussed the need for a rougher, riff-oriented album with longer parts and less guitar layers. Something that focuses on a kind of ugly and distorted but also melodic side and doesn´t try to bend the borders of sophistication at all costs. We wouldn´t exactly call it „oldschool“, but certainly getting rid of the constant urge to step beyond the past with every new album.
Complex and dissonant Black Metal these days isn´t mastered by a few spearheads anymore, any demo level band spreads out into complex, often harmonically „out there“ fields - and more than often not with the required art and craft for such musical style. As listeners, these days we find hundreds of second rate versions of mid to late 00s Deathspell Omega or furious Antaeus ´blood libels´ style, and there surely are a lot of retro / pseudo-oldschool albums out there. But where are the furious milestones like Nattens Madrigal or Apokalypsens Ängel? Works of profound songwriting and outstanding quality that sonically accompany Belial´s army storming towards the heavens, or tell of the fundamental evil in man? Also lyrically - all philosophy, theology and magick aside, few works are out there that paint pictures in the listener´s head anymore. Albums which are still based on the satanic profoundness that is rightfully demanded these days but also do the term ´poetry´ justice? Many of us musicians in deed are magicians, priests, servants, soldiers - but the devil´s poets is what we need to be on the next album, to be released by Avantgarde Music by the end of this year.

5. And then...
...watch out for the next issue of The Sinister Flame, with whom we lead a conversation that was second to none.
We have a high quality LP version of Time Is The Sulphur In The Veins Of The Saint in mind, correcting a few visual issues that the original split with Blacklodge lacked in print.
And once we find a solution to the ongoing discussion with Napalm about our old albums, these will be made available on CD again.
We started bouncing back and forth ideas with Mr. Joseph Olynyk of Nigrum Serpentis for the first and only official ABIGOR backpatch.
And one final Tshirt reminiscent of our early days will see the darkness of the night this year, too.

Last but not least, our joint work with MORTUUS, NIGHTBRINGER and THY DARKENED SHADE will be available before the eternal summer´s beams will burn your flesh again - but this will be revealed seperately soon, watch this space.
