Sweden's DARK TRANQUILLITY played 13 European summer festivals this year. Comments vocalist Mikael Stanne: "This was probably our most active summer ever, and while our sweaty bodies are recovering from the mayhem, preparations for the upcoming tours are being made."

Check out an interview Johannes "Axeman" from WOLF did with Mikael Stanne from Dark Tranquillity at Bang Your Head Festival on June 22nd in Balingen, Germany. You can watch it below.

Dark Tranquillity will continue promoting their new album Fiction with a couple of upcoming tours: "We raided the rehearsal room for leftover merchandise, so on the 'Scandinavian Fiction' tour [which started yesterday] we'll be offering some rare and out-of-print shirts as well as other goodies for those who are interested."

Afterwards the band will be joining the Eastpak Antidote Tour (www.antidotetour.com) with SOILWORK, CALIBAN, and SONIC SYNDICATE. And, last but not least: "Finally it is time for us to visit Greece again! Supported by the legendary Samael, we'll have the pleasure of playing two shows. This will be the first time in five years that we're visiting these cities, so rest assured that it'll be an experience out of the ordinary."
