Character [LP]

Dark Tranquillity - Character [LP]

Gothenburg's Dark Tranquillity helped define melodic death metal, and Character, first issued by Century Media in 2005, is a key record from their mid-2000s period. It pairs fast, riff-heavy songs like "The Endless Feed" and "Lost to Apathy" with the synth textures and dark melody the band is known for, closing with "Black Melancholy."

This 2026 vinyl edition from Cosmic Key Creations is officially licensed from Century Media and cut from a new vinyl master. It comes in a gatefold sleeve with a black flood interior and ultra-glossy finish, in a run of 500 copies split between black and white/orange swirl vinyl.
