Swedish melodic death metal pioneers Dark Tranquillity triumphantly return with FICTION, a scorching effort that will undoubtedly add an exhilarating chapter to the genre's storied history.

This offering is perhaps best compared to a modern-day version of the group's revered classics THE GALLERY and THE MIND'S I, only with more intensity behind the delivery. The blueprint of melodic death metal is now at your fingertips.
