"But it turned out to be fucking phenomenal!"
Translation: Hanna Häßlein
After the first two video-interviews on Friday the 31st of July, 2015 at the Wacken Open Air, it didn’t take long
until it continued with the next strong musician: Mikael Stanne from Dark
Tranquility who is not only responsible for the vocals but also for the band’s deep lyrics. Visually a mixture of Irishman and lion, he turned out to
be a friendly, calm Swede who does indeed have a predator deep inside him which
he regularly lets out on stage (see
pictures below).
