Dark Tranquillity - Projector

Review by Chenoa

Projector by Dark Tranquillity is a masterpiece of Swedish melodic death metal. The album was released in 1999 and marked a significant departure from the band's earlier sound. It is a bold and experimental record that saw the band incorporating electronic elements and clean vocals, which was a significant change from their earlier, more aggressive sound.

The album opens with "Freecard," an instrumental track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. It is a perfect blend of electronic and metal elements and creates a haunting atmosphere that carries throughout the record. The album's lead single, "Therein," is a standout track that showcases the band's newfound melodic sensibilities. The song features clean vocals from Mikael Stanne, which are a welcome addition to the band's sound.

Other highlights on the album include "Undo Control," a powerful track that features a memorable chorus and some of the album's heaviest riffs. "Auctioned" is another standout track, with its intricate guitar work and catchy melodies. The album's closing track, "Exposure," is a slow-burning epic that builds to a climactic finish.

Summary by Chenoa

Projector is an essential album for fans of melodic death metal. It is a bold and experimental record that saw Dark Tranquillity pushing the boundaries of their sound. The album's incorporation of electronic elements and clean vocals was a risk, but it paid off, creating a unique and unforgettable listening experience.

Comments

laborexploitationinlondon

Even pushing more forward the My Dying Bride/The Gathering/Saturnus influences (due also to some clean vocals both from a woman and from the Spandau Ballet's Tony Hadley-like Mikael Stanne), Projector finds the band at the bottom of their inspiration. The songwriting here is even more simple and based over C#-minor power-chords and arpeggios and slower, Adult Contemporary-like balladic songwriting, and the absence of diversification in the riff construction (not to count the short, killing out-of-tune whine "Day to End") makes for a very boring and apathetic listening. Newcomers should give priority over other albums.Highlights: "FreeCard".
