QuoteDisplay MoreDARK TRANQUILLITY parts ways with bassist Daniel Antonsson.
Shortly before beginning the studio sessions for the upcoming 10th
studio album "Construct", the band amicably parted ways with bassist
Daniel Antonsson.
The decision has been growing for a while,
and the main reason is that Daniel wanted to focus on his own musical
projects as well as working more in his recording studio. Being first
and foremost a guitarist, he felt that the playing bass in a full-time
band didn’t allow him much time for his main instrument and true
passion.
With this in mind, he
chose to follow his heart and step aside at this point instead of
committing to another album and an intense touring cycle that would
leave little room for other activities.
We thanks Daniel for
his years in the band - filled with great shows and amazing memories and
experiences in all corners of the world - and wish him all the best
with his future musical career.
Daniel's statement:
I
want to thank the guys in Dark Tranquillity and the amazing D.T. fans
around the world for the last four years of touring around the globe!
It´s been awesome! Also a huge hug to the DT crew and all of the people
working with us. I will miss you all very much! You are like family to
me and I hope we will meet again soon!
But...now is the time
for me to follow my heart and again focus on my guitar playing and
being a recording engineer/producer in my studio Gothenburg Rock
Studios. We will meet again on the road or in the studio - that's for
sure!
Horns up and Cheerz!
/Daniel.
