"But it turned out to be fucking phenomenal!"
Translation: Hanna Häßlein
After the first two video-interviews on Friday the 31st of July, 2015 at the Wacken Open Air, it didn’t take long
until it continued with the next strong musician: Mikael Stanne from Dark
Tranquility who is not only responsible for the vocals but also for the band’s deep lyrics. Visually a mixture of Irishman and lion, he turned out to
be a friendly, calm Swede who does indeed have a predator deep inside him which
he regularly lets out on stage (see
pictures below).
The band already had their
show the previous day on the Headbangers
Stage (link to pictures and report
below), yet, they stayed another day at the festival. This opened up the
opportunity for a meeting during which Dark Tranquility’s show at Wacken as well as the festival were addressed. Furthermore,
we were talking about the music
itself and about the emergence of the genre “Melodic Death Metal”, the latest album “Construct”, the overcoming of tough times, what Mikael hates about
himself, the importance of good equipment, stories
about their youth (when the cassette
had to be rewound and turned) and the truth about backstage. As Dark Tranquility’s members once approached the
project “band” completely inexperienced, there were also a few personal
suggested the singer gave for such a start.
