Death metal is a genre in which there’s not a lot of room for diversity in sound. In between multi-metered riff barrages, machine gun-like blast beats and haunting vocals, experimentation is rare. Sweden’s Dark Tranquility tests those boundaries with their latest release, Character. Sticking to the aggressive roots that made them an underground sensation, Dark…
