Niklas Sundin, (born August 13, 1974 in Sweden), is the guitarist of Dark Tranquillity and Laethora. He also wrote the lyrics for the first Dark Tranquillity albums and the first two In Flames albums and continued to translate In Flames vocalist Anders Friden'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, Arch Enemy, Sentenced, Kryptos, and Fragments of Unbecoming, as well as his own bands.
Equipment
His main guitars are Gibson Faded SG, Gibson 1983 Flying V, and an Ibanez IC400; he also uses a custom J. Nunis SC1, 2 Gibson Les Pauls (Standard and Gothic), and a Fender Talon I. He previously used Rocktron Chameleon rack mounted pre-amplifiers, but after the Damage Done tour, he and Martin Henriksson began using Peavey 5150 and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier amplifiers along with Behringer V-AMP 2 modeling processors.
