Swedish melodic death metal kings Dark Tranquillity are back with new album, "Moment." It's been four years since the (Swedish) Grammy-nominated album, "Atoma," but the time between was creative, innovative, and adventurous. The stalwarts welcomed two top-tier guitarists-Christopher Amott (ex-Arch Enemy) and Johan Reinholdz (Nonexist)-while writing a stunning cluster of songs that not only push Dark Tranquillity's boundaries outward but also strongly typify the Swedes' sonic fingerprint. Amazing songs like "Phantom Days," "Identical to None," and "Empires Lost to Time" are bright and aggressive, while "The Dark Unbroken," "A Drawn Out Exit," and "In Truth Divided" cast long, cold shadows. Recorded at Nacksving Studios and Rogue Music by Martin Brandstrom and then mixed/mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios, "Moment" is a riveting yet challenging journey from start to finish.
