New worldwide deal with CMR:
Good news so far, huh? Well, we have even more: DARK TRANQUILLITY recently extended their deal with Century Media Records!
Leif Jensen, European A&R of Century Media comments, “DARK TRANQUILLITY are the originators and innovators of the Melodic Death Metal style and a total favourite band for Century Media’s staff, so we are all extremely proud about the professional and very successful co-operation we managed to have with the band so far! And this is only the beginning because the band has signed a new worldwide contract with Century Media and we are looking forward to break new ground for them with their outstanding next album “Character”. This one won’t leave you unimpressed…watch out!”
The band adds, "We are exceptionally satisfied to announce that we've chosen to continue our cooperation with Century Media for another three albums. After lengthy negotiations with several prolific labels, the dotted line was finally signed and we have full confidence that we've made the right choice and that there are some excellent years ahead - both for us and for Century Media. As some of you know, the new CD is already recorded and mixed, and the response for the live previews of the song "One Thought" has been truly great throughout the summer festivals, so we're eagerly anticipating the release of the album."
