Endtime Signals is the thirteenth studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Dark Tranquillity, released on 16 August 2024 by Century Media Records. The album is the band's first to feature bassist Christian Jansson and drummer Joakim Strandberg Nilsson, who replaced longtime members Anders Iwers and Anders Jivarp after the latter two left the band in August 2021. The album features two songs co-written by two former band-members, one by the late Fredrik Johansson and the other by Niklas Sundin. The album also marks the band's return to recording as a five-piece after the previous album, Moment, was recorded as a six-piece.
