Dark Tranquillity: That's Not Our Release, It's a Bootleg!

Dark Tranquillity, the famous Sweden-based melodic death metal band have put out an update as result of a recent bootleg of their alleged latest album which managed to find its way up to online discographies, presented as a genuine release. The band wanted to sort things out:

"The [DARK TRANQUILLITY] compilation album 'A Closer End' that recently started appearing on the P2P networks as well as on eBay and in certain record stores, is NOT an official DARK TRANQUILLITY album but a bootleg. It's very convincingly made, with a Century Media logo, fake barcode and extensive booklet, but it's nevertheless a bootleg. It's usually a better strategy to be silent about these things, but as a lot of people keep mailing us asking whether 'A Closer End' is a genuine album or not, and since the CD has started to appear on online discographies, presented as a legitimate release, we feel the need to set the record straight."

Century Media Records reissued DARK TRANQUILLITY's latest album, "Fiction", in May. This edition includes CD/DVD and features loads of new stuff.
