DARK TRANQUILLITY Announce “The Absolute” 7″ Single

By Prog Sphere on March 2, 2017

Legendary Gothenburg melodic death metal pioneers, Dark Tranquillity, are set to release a 7″ single featuring the two tracks, “The Absolute” and “Time Out Of Place,” which have so far only been released as bonus tracks of the Ltd. Edition CD version of their latest album Atoma. These songs are the most experimental and daring tracks ever from the Dark Tranquillity camp, featuring a very different approach to their usual brand of melodic death metal.

You can listen to a medley of both songs below.

The The Absolute 7″ will be released on March 24th, 2017 and is now available for pre-order in the following vinyl colors and limitations:

Black – limited to 500 copies
Red – limited to 100 copies, exclusively available at CMDistro EU
White – limited to 200 copies
Blue – limited to 200 copies, only available at the merch stand on the band’s upcoming European tour
