Most possibly the best melodic death metal band ever existed. Dark Tranquillity are the pioneers on this genre either we like it or not! Amazing musicians and excellent composers....Not to mention the absolutely poetic lyrics....Just total RESPECT!

Old school melodeath are almost close to none these days. I miss those days where it was purely death metal with more melody. Instead we get boring melodic music with growls in our present time.
In Flames and Dark Tranquility are shells of their former selves, but other than that, old school melodeath bands are still dope. Also, to add on to what Love Metal said, Wintersun, in my opinion, is the BEST band out today.
Lo! Ve. Friends, it seems that I find myself inextricably cleft between a shadow of beauty and a shadow of darkness. Two serenades interlaced and intertwined in fevered phantasm. One for the night, One for the uncontroll. Wherein lies balance? No! Where? The inner light and its twisted reflection. Eye find no beauty lies When staring through smuged lenses. Logic! Chaos! Logic! Yet with one thought - Merging the mundane and the magic- The entire construct of sorrow's architect May be left in the slience in between - what only you know - By our state of trust In the tranquillity that lie Beyond enlightenment. Hark! Now is the time For our vernal awakening. All sought in mine faeryland forgotten - Alone in mind - Is borne of chaos and eternal night. Skywards! Bearen of crimson winds To where fires cannot feed Surface the infinite And realize "I am " out of gravity Find life unfurled by dawn. The misery in me Fueled by perpetual ego drama Encaged in still moving sinews Leave the Gallery of Yesterworld With ye I plea It's all the same None of this was ever built to last. The emptiness from which I fed When nightfell on the shores of time Lost midway through infinity The momentary bliss Is my friend of misery The bringer of torture I, deception So Away! Delight! Away! Endtime hearts Are but apathetic To the static of the darkness outside. When the world screams at the clearing of skies- haunted by oblivion dreams- yield not to the lies of the Enemy My dear friends Undo control.
Just imagine Dark Tranquillity plays this song live, together with Anders. I would pay a lot of money to see this!
one of the best death metal albums ever...
one of the greatest songs ever
Melodic death metal at it's best.
1:30 i love this part
0:31 riff out of this world :D
The bass playing was amazing on early DT
Fucking awesome, love all your music guys, but this album is just crazy, just fucking unbelievable, one of the best in Metal history.
One of their best songs!!
The best of all duets up to now
STILL.. the best metal track of all time! eva.
You'll neva change my mind.

But after "the gallery" so boring...
DT is great, but I allways prefered In Flames and At The Gates. All Gothenburg metal is great!
The Skalds never left Sweden :)
Absolutely fantastic!
One of the best songs in this fantastic album
Before I die, I want this song to be played by Dark Tranquillity (or The Halo Effect) be played live with Anders Friden for the other vocalist.

\Voice of the Shadow of Beauty\ - sung by Anders Fridèn
/Voice of the Shadow of Darkness/ - sung by Mikael Stanne
\shadows play
in my wilderness' mindscape
they seek\
/one spiteful and wicked
one humble and meek/
\a windswept pale landscape
of edified thought\
/two frictional forces
a triad have brought/
\woven\
/a soft breeze whispers slowly/
\within me\
/in the valley of my mind/
\the aerial mists sink falling\
/and its breath both foul and holy
is like the deer to a dying hind/
\slowly traversing the atmosphere
calling\
/wordless, yet in soul so true/
ameless, yet it lives in you\
/shapeless like the purity of pain/
\lawful when all fear is slain\
-one shadow of beauty caressing the flowers
the paleness of winter reflects in her eyes-
\deity of stardom\
/enticer of stardoom/
\so soft and so silent\
/maternal - eternal/
\serenity fades\
/blinded by visions of sunlight nocturnal/
\with the darkening of skies\
/one shadow of darkness
a shade of deep hate
a wanderer's spectre with fury ablaze
in sheets of sharp silver
laid youthful to die
reborn into vengeance
dark flames dance in grace
dark flames dance in grace
in the grace of storms/
\one shadow of beauty\
/one shadow of darkness/
\sailing free on the sea within my mind\
\surging dark oceans
perpetual waters
creator of life
and reclaimer of souls\
/mother ocean/
\watching the deep fjords uneasily moving\
/whipping the white waves towards the cold air/
ising like swans in a scarred, sudden motion\
/a cascade of lost feathers
adrift on the sea/
\hark\
/a serenade in the tongue of the wind/
\the sighs of the centuries, so sonorous in the bower
hovering further athwart a leafy cover\
/a shelter for those whose time's wind make them wither
and therefore they choose to guide this time-wind hither
alas, in tune with the tide of time
i was, but I'm not
nor I'll be with its pride
yes, aeons have flown
but more is to come
for I know time/
\but time is not eternal, their life stars not immortal\

\setting souls can never\
/a brother soul of deadly harm/

which is the fuel for life
and glory/
\silent your dark desires within entirety's light\

\hear me
/you who hold the fate of stars in hand
before creation's eye I stand
my soul set free/
in summerland\
\mighty the strand of the universe\
/a chaos void tomb of dead worlds/
\hark\
/what?/
\divinity flows in your heart
cast it alight, the seed of all art
slowly reborn from a sunless state of mind\
/silent, you fool/
\a cradle of roses
embedded in stillness and shade\
/silent, you fool
thine words are untrue
remember Endymion's crestfallen tears
serene art the gods, yet pain is their way
he touched by the heavens
his hellfire nears
a silent divinity, now see your body of air/
\free now your heavenly body of air\
\come bathe in the rays of the all-seeing one
holding the fate of all life in both hands
breathing life-force
like gold made from sand\
/my winged steed of moonlight
black stallion of thunder
we rode above the greenish earth
and tore the green asunder/
\but what you left bleeding
destroyed a soulforsaken world
and your deeds of sharp silver
decoyed a mindforsaken herd\
\a duet of shadows\
a duet of shadows
\a duet of thoughts\
a duet of thoughts
\of beings we feed
with the dust of our thoughts
residing within us
the two-fold wheel of life
of insight created: a triad of jewels\
a thin leaf of the life-tree's truth
You guys sure liked to write long lyrics back in the day. :)

Because Skydancer is better.
Dt The best of the best band of ever

How I wish....
One day in Sweden Anders and Michael sing this song live on a dvd. So I can buy it :)
Too bad Anders can't growl like this currently....
stephen huang
Never lose your hope.
stephen huang I think he actually still can. He just doesn't like to. :(
@Zedrik Allen nah anders voice is trashed.

Acctually Wintersun makes great melodeth today

COB is pretty great too, but they disbanded. Amon Amarth and Ensiferum still exist atleast.
@@lashedandscorned but none of the bands you mentioned sound like actual melodeath. more like power metal with harsh vocals
Anders Friden and Mikael Stanne singing together, truly a song that honors its' title!
uuuu spicy
Lo! Ve.
Friends, it seems that I find myself inextricably cleft between a shadow of beauty and a shadow of darkness.
Two serenades interlaced and intertwined in fevered phantasm.
One for the night,
One for the uncontroll.
Wherein lies balance? No! Where?
The inner light and its twisted reflection.
Eye find no beauty lies
When staring through smuged lenses.
Logic! Chaos! Logic!
Yet with one thought -
Merging the mundane and the magic-
The entire construct of sorrow's architect
May be left in the slience in between -
what only you know -
By our state of trust
In the tranquillity that lie
Beyond enlightenment.
Hark! Now is the time
For our vernal awakening.
All sought in mine faeryland forgotten -
Alone in mind -
Is borne of chaos and eternal night.
Skywards! Bearen of crimson winds
To where fires cannot feed
Surface the infinite
And realize "I am " out of gravity
Find life unfurled by dawn.
The misery in me
Fueled by perpetual ego drama
Encaged in still moving sinews
Leave the Gallery of Yesterworld
With ye I plea
It's all the same
None of this was ever built to last.
The emptiness from which I fed
When nightfell on the shores of time
Lost midway through infinity
The momentary bliss
Is my friend of misery
The bringer of torture
I, deception
So Away! Delight! Away!
Endtime hearts
Are but apathetic
To the static
of the darkness outside.
When the world screams
at the clearing of skies-
haunted by oblivion dreams-
yield not to the lies
of the Enemy
My dear friends
Undo control.
dat bass
Fucking great song 💀🎸🏴☠️🔊
