In Flames, Dark Tranquility and At the Gates are probably three of the greatest bands to ever come into existence. they are true pioneers of music, creating an entirely new sound of metal and showing people that the love of music is what's important, and not about what other people think about your music. I think this is probably one DT's best songs.
There is this face in the still water I can't remember ever wearing Like fingerprints on your heart Reading out the last lines of code To the untrained eye a secret I bled away the last of you Sought trust in shapes of combined results That trickles from a less than solid case Fought off attacks of resurfaced lust Burn the gracing grounds What will give in first The body or the lash Monochromatic stains Who will cave in first The leader or the fake Monochromatic stains This pile of ashes of a soul Informant pokes abound These sickly little fingers Get away from me Tread not the path of least restraint Each piece of evidence a lie, a lie The body, the face all items in place I don't remember a thing A sacrifice made to the loss of mind Folly a man's demise Track now the stains that allow my fall Sickening, the sight of it all Never shall I claim my innocence I just was not there
@@cR4Sh6 my interpretation is that the title refers to blood stains and the song is about a crime scene investigation where the narrator is being accused for a crime he didn't commit. but there are plenty of possible interpretations
My friend used to blast this in the barracks. One of the metal of the masses cd's, I dont remember which one. I found one of my favorite songs because of him. RIP Eric Henderson.
I always wish to feel the same shivering when I listened to DT for the first time... Four years have passed... Still my altime favourite band, and still the most electrifying...
I remember the first time I heard this song. I was in high school and one of the student's heard I liked metal. I was given a CD called Demons of the Fall. It was sampler CD featuring various metal bands like Dark Tranquillity, Lacuna Coil, Rotting Christ and Sentenced. I popped into my CD-player, put on my headphones and BOOM! the first thing I hear is that big opening chord for Monochromatic Stains. I wouldn't listen to any other song for almost a week!
Словно пальцы сжали сердце, Слабый пульс ощущая в последний раз, И в сознанье приоткрыв дверцу, Источил я истошно всю боль за раз Искал я веру в тех глазах И отвергал сомненья в своём мире, В горящей страсти той дарах Сжёг благородные мотивы
This got 8/10 in Terrorizer mag back in 2002. I’d never heard the band before and I bought the album. Never have I ever regretted it. Still kicks ass every time I listen to it.
Je viens de découvrir l'album après 2 ans et avoir commencé avec Moment, et bien Damage done est bien au dessus de mon ancien album préféré Haven et bien au-dessus des autres, bravo !
Damage Done is still one of my favorite albums ever. Probably the best of 2002 for me. This song is fantastic and yet there're even better songs in that album, in my opinion. Ex Nihilo is an instrumental masterpiece. The whole album is brilliant. Dark Tranquillity are an outstanding band and as far as I'm concerned there's no other band that I have heard in Melodic Death Metal that's as good as they are.
Dudes, I burned this band and At the Gates so damn much that I had to take a 15 year break lol. Just now going through a "relistening" of these BANGERS and I still feel the chills.
Ikr atg a great bands Some albums are absolute classics like and justice for all heard that one 150+ times never gets old Imma listen to atg after this 😂
Hmm I don't know I like The Gallery and Fiction better. Then again out side of one DT album (not counting Skydancer.) I do like almost all there albums Damage Done ranking high up there.
The music set aside, the video is extremely unique. I've never fucked with any psychedelics but I would imagine the person that made the video was on acid when he made it. Very interesting and very dark/morbid. Now back to the music- Dark Tranquillity is probably one of the most intelligent bands I have ever come across.
@vatoloco22 Easy tiger. In Flames still knows how to burn a place down. I admit DT, has done a sufficient job keeping the genre alive, and even though IF & DT were practically sister bands for awhile, you cannot compare them anymore. Some of the most powerful vocals come from Anders, and with Stanne, you know the great growling to expect. In Flames we trust, and in Dark Tranquillity we treasure. These are the masters of metal...we should be grateful they are BOTH still here.
I remember when I watched this when I was a teenager, I thought: "It's so cool!". Now I watch it again and I think: "It's so cool!" :D
Kkkkkkk dark tranquillity e uma tranquilidade sombria kkkkkkk
у меня те же ощущения
The melody, especially during the chorus just hits you right in the feels
he stated in flames now he is fukkin better,,,, aka the band
@@ReaperKezia I was 15 at the time, this song still hits so hard in the feels
15 year old me fucking loved this album. 29 year old me is still pretty happy with it.
Same here:)
*****
why thank you :)
notunlikethewaves my friend is opening for them in November
Me too bro, same time period I got into it. I'm also 29. Cool shit.
Hahaha! Same story!
I really love the melancholic feel of this song

56 yrs old,just discovered this band........Ossum
hell yeah. all of their stuff is equally as good as this. dont slight yourself, listen to it all.
I tip my hat to you then.
38.. been listening to it for years.
Metal is universal... age or gender is no bar.
There is much more to discover!)
I bet you are healthy and 60 by now sire
this song introduced me to
melodic death metal
Me too, brother, me too...
Yes, me too, later comes "Theatre Of Tragedy - Hollow-Hearted, Heart-Departed" just listen
same. i first heard this song on one of those sample cds from Nuclear Blast or Metal Blade or whatever.
This, soilwork natural born chaos and in flames reroute to remain all came out in 02 when i was in highschool and changed the heavy metal game for me
Me too bro
There is this face in the still water
I can't remember ever wearing
Like fingerprints on your heart
Reading out the last lines of code
To the untrained eye a secret
I bled away the last of you
Sought trust in shapes of combined results
That trickles from a less than solid case
Fought off attacks of resurfaced lust
Burn the gracing grounds
What will give in first
The body or the lash
Monochromatic stains
Who will cave in first
The leader or the fake
Monochromatic stains
This pile of ashes of a soul
Informant pokes abound
These sickly little fingers
Get away from me
Tread not the path of least restraint
Each piece of evidence a lie, a lie
The body, the face all items in place
I don't remember a thing
A sacrifice made to the loss of mind
Folly a man's demise
Track now the stains that allow my fall
Sickening, the sight of it all
Never shall I claim my innocence
I just was not there
Thank you Meralman
can sombody tell me the meaning behind this lyric ? in the metaphor?
@@cR4Sh6 my interpretation is that the title refers to blood stains and the song is about a crime scene investigation where the narrator is being accused for a crime he didn't commit. but there are plenty of possible interpretations
@@keran5676why the monochromatic though?
DT are poets
Wow!!!just JUST found them!!!!the first song I listen from them...what dark magic is this???mesmerised...
is the Best band, /,,/,
+rania pavlakoudi welcome & congratulations! you're in for quite a ride :)
\m/
+rania pavlakoudi I recommend "Lethe" for those rainy days.
Aldo Mendoza thank you!
+rania ebonyluna That is Great But Not More Than " Insomnium "
What an amazing song!! You're one of our greatest influence!
Nemost, french melodic death metal
without question the best metal album of the last 20 years
Brings me back to the high school years. Metal for the masses CD
CDs fuuuck man, remember walkman's? The cassette ones, haha. Simpler times
The most psychological music video ever made, love the depth of this song
My friend used to blast this in the barracks. One of the metal of the masses cd's, I dont remember which one. I found one of my favorite songs because of him. RIP Eric Henderson.
Yep metal of the masses is where i first heard it as well, probably 15 years ago lol
I always wish to feel the same shivering when I listened to DT for the first time... Four years have passed... Still my altime favourite band, and still the most electrifying...
you sound like a drug addict chasing the first high lol
go for some Kalmah, some At the Gates, and Soilwork.
you can't compare DT to Kalmah - At The Gates and Soilwork suck
I know your feeling man,I have listened to a lot of stuff.. when I listen to them again.. they just never feel as good they were for the first time :/
The closest thing to DT is DT, sorry man. I know, it hurts.
Hold up Soilwork is soft now BUT dont get it twisted steelbath suicide and chainheart machine are badass albums not dt badass but badass none the less

Словно пальцы сжали сердце,
Слабый пульс ощущая в последний раз,
И в сознанье приоткрыв дверцу,
Источил я истошно всю боль за раз
Искал я веру в тех глазах
И отвергал сомненья в своём мире,
В горящей страсти той дарах
Сжёг благородные мотивы
20 лет Dark tranquillity со мной! Музыка моей души...
Со мной чуть больше, но с комментарием полностью согласен
этот трек с первого момента и навсегда в сердечке ))
This is one of the most amazing songs I have ever heard, and I don't care for Dark Tranquillity. Bravo thrice cubed.
This song is on my top playlist, in 2002 I wasn't listening to death metal yet, I met Dark Tranquillity and In Flames first in 2007.
I saw this on MTV when i was a teen. Amazing song.
love this song! anders jivarp is one of the most calculated talented drummers there are... niklas sundins guitar riffs are awesome
The first DT song I ever heard. Standing duty in Ramadi '09 and found new music on a friends external hard drive. Life was changed forever.
MONOCHROMATIC STAAAAAIIIIIIIINNNSSSS
This album has Mikael's best vocal performance imo.
Omair Sheikh I think Character has the best Mikael's vocal peformance
+Francois Lentini No no, I think Heaven has the best Mikael's vocal performance. Just listen to cornered, and hear the nuances of the voice. damn.
Haven, Projector, and Construct for me.
This song speaks to my heart💓
Τέλειο τραγούδι δεν το βαριέμαι ποτέ👍
anastasia kef Οι Dark Tranquility στο μεγαλειο τους!!
πρωτη φορα τους ακουω, νομιζω οφειλουν μελετη.
Nice aegean invasion plans
Probably the only 240p video I like and I'll keep coming back to. DT is the fucking benchmark in Melodic Death Metal.
true
This was the first song I heard from DT, it was in a DVD a friend borrowed me like 16 years ago and I'm still enjoying it like the very first time.
Это шедевр!)
I remember listening to this exact video before class everyday playing wow! best times
Üşüyoruz DT reyis.
For this genre of music I've never heard anything better!
this video is a masterpiece. Both song and video are great, a brilliant artwork on scenario. Love it
This got 8/10 in Terrorizer mag back in 2002. I’d never heard the band before and I bought the album. Never have I ever regretted it. Still kicks ass every time I listen to it.

I am addicted to this song now. Only another dt song like this can save me from this loop now, help!
Quien disfrutando de esto en el 2024?? 😉🤘
Aah Damage Done.... one of my fav DT's albums.
Geeez 17 years already slipped!
Im kinda fed up with this track due to the excessive replays I did ^^
DT is total Badass One of the Best Melodeath bands ever to play music on Earth
Damage Done is still one of my favorite albums ever. Probably the best of 2002 for me. This song is fantastic and yet there're even better songs in that album, in my opinion. Ex Nihilo is an instrumental masterpiece. The whole album is brilliant.

Damage done is the best album of D. T.
I like Charakter more
Character*
Fiction
Mind's I says hi

BEST BAND EVER SEEN...
Как прекрасен Метал Мелодичностью Своею
Well, I like that they made an effort to tell a story more than just having the band members playing the song.
De lo mejor que he escuchado todas sus rolas están muy buenas .
dark tranquillity are so consistent the new album is great as well.
Awesome song!!!!!
still gives me the goose bumbs
By underrated he means that not enough people know about their awesomeness.
Unlike In Flames, Dark Tranquility did not sell out.
Tremendo video 👌👌
Right there with ya, man. I had heard they were good... just didn't know they were THIS good!!
this band is one of the pioneers od melodic death metal
2023 still listening D.T 🤘🤘🤘🔥

Very interesting and very dark/morbid. Now back to the music- Dark Tranquillity is probably one of the most intelligent bands I have ever come across.
"The Gallery".... the album that introduced me to DT almost a decade ago! "Damage Done" is also a good one". Cheers!
Great!!! Greetings from Croatia!
My favorite song of DT)
