Stanne

The only complaint about this show was that Dark Tranquillity’s set was way too short (and that the other bands sucked!). Dark Tranquillity played like a glistening H.R. Giger machine with all parts honed to evocative melodic perfection. They’re coming back to the States next week – check tour dates here.

Unfortunately, unless I take a road trip to Philly alone I can’t see them because they are playing NYC on Shabbos, to my utter and sheer disappointment and dismay. In any case, here are the photos taken by critically acclaimed Israeli photographer Mark Yashaev.

The exclusive interview with Mikael Stanne will be fully transcribed and posted when I can get around to it (marriage plans and traveling kill schedules) and printed in Raven Music‘s RockPoint Magazine for Israeli readers. Meanwhile, check out all of the awesome 313 photos here on Picasa. And pay respect to Mark – first time he ever was at a metal show, let alone shot one….
