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.
