The Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra is set to honor the works of In Flames, Dark Tranquillity and At The Gates for an upcoming concert dubbed ‘The Gothenburg Sound‘. The three outfits all hail from Gothenburg, Sweden and throughout the 90s and beyond helped to define the blueprint for Swedish melodic death metal.
These two special shows will see full orchestra arrangements of fan favorites from the aforementioned band’s catalogs. They’ll be held at the Konserthus in Gothenburg, Sweden on December 04th and 05th. Dark Tranquillity commented today, April 22nd:
“It’s a great honor to finally announce that the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra will perform a tribute to the “Gothenburg Sound”.
This has been in the works for quite some time, and hearing Dark Tranquillity, together with songs from At the Gates and In Flames, translated for a full orchestra is something we never could have imagined when this all began.
GSO is Sweden’s national orchestra and one of Europe’s premier orchestras, so to be recognized like this by our hometown is truly special.
Join us for this unique milestone in our journey on December 4 and 5.
This is a big deal!”
