WACKEN Interview w/ MIKAEL STANNE & JOHAN REINHOLDZ from DARK TRANQUILLITY
I had the chance to meet Mikael Stanne and Johan Reinholdz from Dark Tranquillity at Wacken 2023, after playing there the day before with my own band All For Metal. DT is my most favorite band ever, their music simply means so much to me, and it was such a happy hangout with the guys. Trust me, I had to focus really hard not to fangirl, my heart rate was about 90bpm xD

Unholy Confession made, back to more seriousness.
We talked about Wacken’s evolution, their own evolution as a band, their upcoming record, Johan’s approach on writing guitar stuff and why Mikeal quit guitar after the release of DT’s debut album “Skydancer”.
Thank you to Sabrina from Wacken for the opportunity – the questions have been coordinated with her. Thank you to Vincent for your camera work and the additional small snippets from Dark Tranquillity’s Wacken Show! I also used minimal footage of the Magenta Musik stream of the concert for the festival atmosphere.
