Niklas Sundin

Niklas Sundin (born 13 August 1974 in Sweden), is a musician best known as the guitarist of bands Dark Tranquillity and Laethora. He is one of only two members (the other being drummer Anders Jivarp) to maintain a role as guitarist of Dark Tranquillity, unlike others in the band who have switched their roles or are not in the band anymore. He also wrote some of the lyrics for the first three and recent two Dark Tranquillity albums (Lead singer Mikael Stanne wrote all of Dark Tranquillity's lyrics from Projector through Fiction) and In Flames' album The Jester Race, and continued to translate In Flames vocalist Anders Fridén's lyrics from Swedish to English for the next few albums while Anders worked to become more proficient in English. Sundin is also the founder of Cabin Fever Media, which among other things creates artwork for metal bands. He recently published a book of independent artwork and sketches. He has done album layouts for bands such as In Flames, Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Meridian Dawn, Arch Enemy, Nightrage, Sentenced, Kryptos, and Fragments of Unbecoming, as well as his own bands.
