Skydancer is the debut studio album by the Swedish melodic death metal band Dark Tranquillity.[3]
It is Dark Tranquillity's only album that does not feature Mikael Stanne as primary vocalist, as Anders Fridén, later of In Flames fame, sang on Skydancer. The album was re-released in 2000 by Century Media Records as Skydancer/Of Chaos and Eternal Night. The style present has elements of more traditional death metal and a cold black metal atmosphere mixed its melodic death metal approach.
