Dendritic Arbor Announces New EP

Dendritic Arbor's new EP "Sentient Village // Obsolescent Garden" is set to be self-released this coming December 30, 2015.

From original black metal origins, the quintet has branched out like the neuron process from which the group's name is derived. If you thought the "Romantic Love" album (released earlier this year via Grimoire Records) was a ruckus, then this new material will inspire a war on several fronts - including doom, noise and grind.

If you’re looking for experimental and challenging extreme music in 2015, you cannot steer wrong with Dendritic Arbor. Not for the faint of heart or ear, the EP's track listing will be as follows:

Sunday Old School: Dark Tranquillity

Metal loves to trace the roots and popularity of a style back to specific bands. Thrash metal famously has its "big four," of Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax , black metal goes back to Venom, Hellhammer/Celtic Frost, Mercyful Fate and Bulldozer and melodic death metal is often credited mostly to Carcass, In Flames, At The Gates and today’s featured band, Dark Tranquillity.

The band began life in 1989 after guitarists Niklas Sundin and Mikael Stanne put together a group named Septic Broiler, soon being joined in their endeavours by bassist Martin Henriksson, vocalist Anders Fridén and drummer, Anders Jivarp. Tney quickly recorded a demo, "Enfeebled Earth," before deciding to change their name to the now familiar moniker, Dark Tranquility. They soldiered on until they were snapped up by Spinefarm Records, through which they released their debut album, "Skydancer" in 1993, which was met with mostly positive reviews. It was quite different from later releases and many look back on it now as one of the dark horses of the Dark Tranquility catalogue. More...
