Our Take

Step aside, mere mortals, for DARK TRANQUILLITY has graced us with a re-issue of their classic album The Gallery, and it is like stumbling upon a hidden gem in a thrift store full of polyester jumpsuits. This Swedish melodic death metal band has been churning out ear-shattering tunes since 1989, and they haven't lost their touch one bit.

The Gallery, originally released in 1995, has been given a fresh coat of paint in this 2021 re-issue, and let me tell you, it's like finding out your favourite pub now serves craft beer. The album kicks off with "Punish My Heaven," a blistering track that sets the tone for what's to come - a whirlwind of guttural vocals, intricate guitar riffs, and pounding drums that'll leave you questioning your own mortality.

Tracks like "Silence, and the Firmament Withdrew" and "Edenspring" showcase DARK TRANQUILLITY's ability to seamlessly blend melody with sheer brutality, like a fine wine paired with a medium-rare steak. And don't even get me started on "The Dividing Line" - it's a headbanger's dream come true, with more twists and turns than a wonky rollercoaster.

So, dear readers, strap yourselves in and prepare for a sonic journey like no other. DARK TRANQUILLITY's The Gallery re-issue is a testament to why this band has stood the test of time in the metal world. It's raw, it's powerful, and it's damn near perfect. Trust me, you don't want to miss out on this one.
