Dark Tranquillity is a Swedish melodic death metal band, hailing from Gothenburg and is regarded as one of the pioneers of the Gothenburg metal style. The band was formed in 1989 by Mikael Stanne and Niklas Sundin, along with a few other members who have since left the group. With a discography that spans over three decades, Dark Tranquillity has been influential in shaping the melodic death metal genre with their intricate guitar work, atmospheric keyboards, and a blend of growled as well as clean vocals.

Over the years, Dark Tranquillity has released a string of highly acclaimed albums, marked by their philosophical lyrics and a willingness to innovate within their genre. Their more recent works, including the reflective and textured album "Atoma" released in 2016, and "Moment", which made its debut in 2020, continue to showcase the band's evolution and proficiency. With a robust back-catalog including the cerebral "We Are the Void" (2010) and the live recording "Where Death Is Most Alive" (2009), the band remains a force in the international metal scene. Dark Tranquillity's commitment to their craft and their consistent delivery of high-quality music has earned them a dedicated global fan base and cemented their status as stalwarts of melodic death metal.
