Additional Discography

Originally called Septic Broiler from 1989-1991.

One of the pioneers of the melodic-death metal sound. Band statement: "Dark Tranquillity is the longest standing band from the famed Gothenburg metal scene".

Guitarist Niklas Sundin is also known for his graphic design album artwork.

They have kept a mostly consistent line-up. Rhythm guitarist Mikael Stanne switched to vocals after Anders Fridén's departure. When his replacement Fredrik Johansson left in 1998 bassist Martin Henriksson took up guitar duties and Michael Nicklasson came in on bass. They also added "electronics" man Martin Brändström at this time.
