Dark Tranquillity - In My Absence Video

Hot off the proverbial press, Dark Tranquillity continue letting guitarist Niklas Sundin take charge of video production with this rather nifty video for In My Absence from 2010's We Are The Void. This is one of my favourite songs off the album, so it's cool to revisit it 2 years on and see the band performing it live. Something I've not had the pleasure of since they haven't graced our fair shores for a fair while.

Shot entirely by the band themselves during a live performance in Russia with cameras attached to everything from guitars to audience members, this is an interesting twist on the usual basic performance video. The cool effects put in here and there to emphasise the song's lyrics are a neat touch, too. A bit of a change from the rather triptastic Iridium video I posted about a while back, mind!
