We Are the Void is the ninth studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Dark Tranquillity. It is their first and only album with bassist Daniel Antonsson, who joined in 2008 and left in 2013.

The band began writing for this album in late 2008 (except for the majority of "Iridium" which was written sometime between 1996 and 1998 but was left out until this album). Stylistically, it is similar to their previous album Fiction; the band used the same Drop B tuning as well as clean melodic vocals that were re-introduced on Fiction.[3]

The band also began to release songs from this album on their MySpace page[4] starting with "Dream Oblivion" on 21 December 2009, "At the Point of Ignition" on 14 January 2010 and finally the entire album was available for free streaming on 19 February 2010.

Music videos were released for "Shadow in Our Blood" on 10 February 2010 and "In My Absence" on 22 February 2012.
