Melodic death metal pioneers, Dark Tranquillity, recently dropped their latest single, “Not Nothing.” Philosophically addressing the insignificance of humanity in the grander scheme, it is taken from their upcoming album, Endtime Signals. Pre-orders of the album on LP, CD and digital formats are now available, with release due August 16th via Century Media Records. Check out the new video and more below.

The band’s Mikael Stanne comments: “Finally we can announce that the pre-orders for Endtime Signals start today! And to mark this monumental occasion, we also have a brand new single for you fine folks. Not Nothing is an existential piece of Endtime Signals that we feel showcases some of the diversity that the album holds. Turn up the volume and let us know what you think!”
The band previously shared a video for “Unforgivable,” manifesting Dark Tranquillity’s live energy and presence, and a dedication to their loyal fans all over the world. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/quMj6DDDZPE
Mikael Stanne adds, “Shot during our recent tours of Türkiye and Mexico, the ‘Unforgivable’ clip showcases the band in its true element. From the intense drums of Joakim Strandberg Nilsson to the thunderous bass of Christian Jansson, the song is propelled forward at a pace not heard from the band in many years.”
Dark Tranquillity are considered one of the pioneering acts of the Gothenburg/Swedish metal scene, which also includes bands such as In Flames and At the Gates. Endtime Signals marks the 13th studio album of the band, building on the success of previous releases such as Atoma (2016), which climbed up to #2 in the Swedish album charts, and Moment (2020), which earned the band a Swedish Grammis award. The album release date, August 16, was strategically chosen: It is no coincidence that the album reveal collides with the infamous Summer Breeze Open Air in Dinkelsbühl, Germany and Dark Tranquillity’s performance at the festival. The band will be playing festivals across Europe and the US this summer, check out dates here. The band has also shared a visualizer for another new track “The Last Imagination” – watch here: https://youtu.be/5KDDVdJuI2E
The band says of the album “Going back to what we fundamentally feel is the core of Dark Tranquillity, with a partly new line-up, has been a tremendous experience. It gave us the opportunity to re-evaluate and view what we have built from a new and exciting perspective. This resulted in a focused and intense writing period where we have discovered aspects of our music anew and taken certain elements of it further than before.”
