He is also the vocalist\/multi-insturmentalist for\u00a0bands such as <strong>Edge of Sanity<\/strong> and <strong>Witherscape<\/strong>. He has been involved with <strong>Katatonia, Bloodbath<\/strong>, and a metric shit-ton of other bands of which I will refrain from namedropping.<\/p>\n<p>On the making of <em>Retribution<\/em> Dan says this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>During the writing of the Witherscape debut album, I wrote a lot of stuff that would work better on a Nightingale album, and before I knew it, I had the skeleton for a lot of potentially awesome Nightingale songs! It was important that the new material had the vibe of the older albums, yet with a better production and performance.<\/em>&#8220;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Guaranteed contender for Album of the Decade, people.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since JAG can not find any of the new tracks about the interwebs, here&#8217;s the opening track from <em>White Darkness<\/em>:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_98119\"  width=\"320\" height=\"240\"  data-origwidth=\"320\" data-origheight=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h3zioXJGG6g?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>NIGHTINGALE is:<\/b><br \/>\nDan Swan\u00f6 &#8211; vocals, guitars, keyboards<br \/>\nDag Swan\u00f6 &#8211; bass, guitars, keyboards<br \/>\nErik Oskarsson &#8211; bass<br \/>\nTom Bj\u00f6rn &#8211; drums<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10686 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.toiletovhell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Nightingale_Cover_01-1024x1024.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Nightingale_Cover_01-1024x1024.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Nightingale_Cover_01-1024x1024.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Nightingale_Cover_01-1024x1024.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you just gotta get this album now, you can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.insideoutshop.de\/Item\/Nightingale_-_Retribution_-Special_Edition_CD_Enhanced_Jewelcase_-_O-Card-\/16042\" target=\"_blank\">pick it up right here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.insideoutmusic.com\/newsdetailed.aspx?IdNews=14984&amp;IdCompany=8#sthash.xTvjJdfQ.dpuf\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Pictures and quotation courtesy of Inside Out Music<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;and it&#8217;s about freaking time.
