Dreamt up a new word today In my ignorance I gave it meaning Who was I to know To say it is to know it To hear it is to believe, is to believe I dreamt the world would end I was not wrong To doubt, to discredit The words I've heard before From inside a shell pretending It's all you've shown your faith And what you've always known So lay your trust in the unthinkable It's time to justify your lesser faith It's all your faith has shown And all you'll ever know Read more on Last.fm.

Dark Tranquillity is a Swedish melodic death metal band from Gothenburg, formed in 1989 by singer Mikael Stanne and guitarist Niklas Sundin as Septic Broiler before changing their name in 1991. They are considered to be one of the earliest pioneers of the Gothenburg metal style. 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.
