In Dark Tranquillity, he was one of only two members (the other being drummer Anders Jivarp) to maintain his musical role, unlike the other members who have or had switched. 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. Although he quit Dark Tranquillity in 2016, it wasn't announced until 22 March 2020.

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.


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. In the making of We Are the Void, they are seen in the studio using a Peavey 6505, an ENGL Powerball, as well as a Bugera amplifier. [citation needed]. He also endorses Mayones Guitars & Basses.

Niklas Sundin (Gotemburgo; 13 de agosto de 1974) es un guitarrista sueco, compositor y artista, mejor conocido por ser miembro de Dark Tranquillity y Laethora. Escribe algunas de las letras de Dark Tranquillity, ya que el vocalista y líder de la banda Mikael Stanne es quien escribe la mayoría de las canciones de la banda, y también escribió las letras del álbum de In Flames, The Jester Race además de traducir las letras que escribía el vocalista Anders Friden (del sueco al inglés) para los dos siguientes álbumes hasta que este se volviera más profesional a la hora de manejar el idioma inglés. Su estilo de componer música se caracteriza por tener fuertes influencias de black metal; ejemplos de esto son las canciones Inside The Particle Storm (del álbum Fiction) y Arkhangelsk (de We Are The Void), compuestas íntegramente por él.

Никлас Сундин (швед. Niklas Sundin; 13 августа 1974, Гётеборг, Швеция) — наиболее известен как соло-гитарист групп Dark Tranquillity и Laethora. Он также является автором многих текстов песен Dark Tranquillity и альбома Whoracle группы In Flames. В дальнейшем он переводил тексты, написанные Андерсом Фриденом, со шведского на английский для нескольких последующих альбомов In Flames, пока английский Фридена не был на достаточном для этого уровне.
