Dark Tranquility will be releasing a special 2xCD collection of rare recordings from the band's vaults. "For many years, we've received lots of questions regarding the possibility of our pre-album material ever being released on CD," they posted on their website, "and we're very happy to provide old and new fans that are interested in the first chapter of our history with a viable alternative to forking out a small fortune on eBay for a worn-out original copy of the demo or 7" EP." The band recently recovered the original DAT tapes contain their "Trail Of Life Decayed" demo (1991) and "A Moonclad Reflection" EP (1992) and have had them remastered.
