Dark Tranquillity’s Mikael Stanne to Chaoszine: “We have a lot of ideas for the next album already”

Swedish melodic death metallers Dark Tranquillity is currently on a North American tour with Nailed For Obscurity and Kataklysm. The tour marks the first proper tour the band has done after parting ways with drummer Anders Jivarp and bassist Anders Iwers. Jivarp was an original member of Dark Tranquillity, having played on all of the band’s releases to date. Iwers joined Dark Tranquillity in 2016 and played on the group’s last two albums, 2016’s “Atoma“ and 2020’s “Moment“.
