DARK TRANQUILLITY reutgivelser slippes 25/5
- Posted on 27-04-2009
Swedish melodic death metal masters DARK TRANQUILLITY will re-release their classic albums "Projector", "Haven" and "Damage Done" in a luxurious slipcase packaging with bonus material as well as the rarities compilation "Yesterworlds" on May 25, 2009 in Europe via Century Media Records. All releases are available at a fan-friendly price and also feature extensive liner notes as well as new layouts and designs by guitarist Niklas Sundin. As a very exclusive bonus the three album reissues also contain one song each from the band's upcoming new DVD "Where Death Is Most Alive" due later this year. The band comments as follows:
"We're happy to announce that "Projector" (1999), "Haven" (2000) and "Damage done" (2002) will be re-issued with additional bonus content. As with the "Fiction" re-issue of last year, these new editions feature all the material that was recorded during the respective studio sessions, giving the listener the full experience of what was put on tape at the time.

In addition, we're releasing a limited edition album entitled "Yesterworlds", featuring the "Trail Of Life Decayed" demo (1991) and the "A Moonclad Reflection" 7" EP (1992).
The real gem, however, is that we found the master tape of an old promo recording that was made in March 1994 and only sent out to a handful of tape trading contacts and record labels. This is the first D.T. studio recording with Mikael Stanne on vocals and Fredrik Johansson on guitar, and it features "Punish My Heaven", "The Gallery" and "Away, Delight, Away". Also, "Yesterworlds" features a version of "Punish My Heaven" taken from the semi-legendary "W.A.R. Compilation Vol. 1" album, originally released on Wrong Again Records in 1994. This is the first recording we made in Studio Fredman, and the song itself is a bit faster and less controlled than the album version found on "The Gallery"."
