They have kept a mostly consistent line-up. Anders Jivarp has played drums since joining the band shortly after its formation, with Anders Fridén and Martin Henriksson. Rhythm guitarist Mikael Stanne switched to vocals after Anders Fridén's departure. When his predecessor Fredrik Johansson left in 1998, bassist Martin Henriksson took up guitar duties and Michael Nicklasson came in on bass shortly before the recording of Haven. They also added "electronics" man Martin Brändström at this time. Michael Niklasson left the band on 23rd of August, 2008 and was briefly replaced by former Soilwork member Daniel Antonsson, who left in 2013 shortly before the recording of Construct. On 31st of March, 2016 it was announced on the band's Facebook page that Martin Henriksson had left the band.
The band name is often misspelt as "Dark Tranquility", which is the U.S. spelling of the word.
Guitarist Niklas Sundin is also known for his graphic design album artwork. Dark Tranquillity's official site can be accessed [url=http://[officialsite]darktranquillity.com/]here.
Misery
Dark Tranquillity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On streets I dare not walk
Freedom is an illusion
I build my fences high
If there was something out there
I've learned not to expect
There's a hundred million reasons
Not to care
Don't bring it
Don't bring it
Don't bring your misery down on me
Don't bring it
Don't bring it
Don't bring your misery down on me
Wear misery's crown
As always in these matters
You broke the deal of deals
And wasted what was given
To revel in your mess
I gave up all for nothing
I tried my best and failed
There's a thousand million reasons

This is how it all begins
This is how it all begins
Don't bring it
Don't bring it
Don't bring your misery down on me
Don't bring it
Don't bring it
Don't bring your misery down on me
Wear misery's crown
This is how it all begins
Come now
Come now
Come now
Don't bring it
Don't bring it
Don't bring your misery down on me
Don't bring it
Don't bring it
Don't bring your misery down on me
Wear misery's crown
The lyrics of "Misery" by Dark Tranquillity convey a feeling of hopelessness and isolation. The opening lines set the tone for the song, with the singer stating that "all has now been broken" and expressing a reluctance to walk the streets. This line implies that society, or at least the singer's place in it, has collapsed in some way, and that they feel lost and alone as a result. The next line, "freedom is an illusion," suggests that the singer has given up hope of finding a way out of their predicament, and has resigned themselves to living within their own self-imposed boundaries.
The second verse expands upon this theme, with the singer stating that they have "given up all for nothing" and that they have no reason to try again. They suggest that they have been let down by someone or something ("you broke the deal of deals") and that they have been left to "revel in [their] mess." Overall, the lyrics of "Misery" can be seen as a reflection of the feelings of powerlessness and isolation that can come with experiencing trauma or hardship.

All has now been broken
Everything has been destroyed and shattered.
On streets I dare not walk
I am afraid to go out in public due to the pain and sorrow I am feeling.
Freedom is an illusion
I feel trapped and imprisoned within my own sorrow and there is no escape.
I build my fences high

Don't bring it
Please don't make me feel worse.
Wear misery's crown

As always in these matters
This always happens in these situations.
You broke the deal of deals
You betrayed me in a significant way.
And wasted what was given
You disregarded and threw away all that you were given.
To revel in your mess
You purposely caused chaos just to enjoy yourself.
I gave up all for nothing
I sacrificed everything for no reason.
I tried my best and failed
I put forth my best effort but still was not successful.
There's a thousand million reasons
There are countless explanations for why I won't ever share again.
Never to share again
I will never put myself in a vulnerable state again.

This is the start of this cycle that always seems to repeat.
Come now
Please stop and listen to me.

All is not been broken
On streets I cannot walk
Freedom is an illusion

You broke the deal of deals
And wasted what was given
To revel in your mess
I gave up all for nothing
I tried my best

@JhonPsych
Every singer capable to sing good growls and an good clean voice, deserves respect
@onearthonelegion
Justin Bieber
@oddshaft4851
So basically every melodeath, some metalcore bands, Opeth, Gojira and many more
@Aegianlulz
Tomi Joutsen of Amorphis does this the best

@@oddshaft4851 Nah I've yet to find good metalcore clean vocals that don't sound whiny or cringe. I'm a big fan of Goji but joes got ok clean vocals. Agree with Opeth and 90% of melodeath though.
@GrandeABC123
It is impressive how people think metalheads are. When I tell anyone that I listen to this kind of stuff, they say that everyone that does that is crazy. However when you look around it's actually the opposite: We are united by the love for Metal! If you go to any "normal" music video (like pop) you'll see fans in the chat fighting against each other, whereas when you come to a ("crazy, satanist") Metal music video, everybody is together, and different opnions are given and respected, without any bad result.
I reckon people are so busy criticising us that they forgot to look at themselves.

+Matheus Nasi Tell that to me...When I tell people that I listen to this kind of stuff,they say that i'm a satanist but they will never know how dope this genre is.
