DARK TRANQUILLITY Prepares For "Tyranny and Bloodshred 2008", Announces Headlining Shows
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. Either see below or

itinerary.
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.”
