Dark Tranquillity Prepares For 'Tyranny And Bloodshred 2008'

Swedish melodic death metal pioneers Dark Tranquillity are excited to be making their much anticipated return to North America in May with what could well be hailed as one of the best guitar-shredder packages of the year. This tour,  presented by ESP Guitars, Randall Amps, Guitar World and Revolver Magazine, dubbed “Tyranny and Bloodshred 2008” kicks off on May 9th and features headliners Arch Enemy and the awesome, yet diverse talents of Divine Heresy and Firewind.

Upon completing this tour the band will continue on headlining a slew of additional dates with Divine Heresy and Firewind supporting. This tour completes their worldwide touring cycle for Fiction, an album that revitalized the genre they helped create and further cemented their status as one of the genre’s most influential bands.

Niklas Sundin (guitars) states: “We're very pleased to let our growing hordes of U.S. fans know that we'll once again return to your shores to serve you in metal. Starting in the beginning of May, we'll head out as main support for our long-time buddies in Arch Enemy. It'll be a powerful and diverse package that will satisfy everyone.”
