Good old New Brunswick, that's right. I lived in London, actually, for the past year. Where are you from?

Hey Dag! Yeah, I heard a couple of those bands mentioned in various places. Did Dan really record vocals at the age of five in Fordz? Think he will ever release any of this stuff in the future?

 

[Gurgelguff]

Yes he did. One Fordz song is released:
"Alone" on the first N.G album. The Swedish title is "Tint gör ont"
I wrote the music and our elder brother helped with the lyrics.
As far as releasing the stuff i find it very unlikely but who knows ?
Fordz was a bit of a joke but some "Ghost" stuff is really good.

Yeah, I was aware of that Nightingale song being a carry over from that project. I can't see him releasing any of the Fordz stuff, but maybe some of the other bands, like Ghost. That would be pretty cool!

2. The rest ...stupid 2 compare different projects

 

[Metal88]

Anyhow here's my list!

Nightingale
Unicorn
Edge Of Sanity
Moontower
Diabolical Masquerade (Can we count this one??)
Pan Thy Monium
Odyssey
Karaboudjan
Bloodbath
Subway Mirror
Infestdead
Route Nine

 

[SpeakUSAorDie]

Ive only heard BLOODBATH & I FN loved it, I'm really interested in getting some more "Swano" projects. I'll have to check out some reviews...

 

[Sadistik]

Well lets just say that not all of his bands/projects are DM.

Nightingale:1st album is goth/techno rock, 2nd is progressive, and 3r is more mainstreamed rock with prog elements.
EoS=pioneering Swedish death metal
Odyssey=Epic metal
Karaboudjan/Panthymonium=wierdo prog/metal explorations
Route 9=Brutal hardcore inflected metal.
Moontower=DM with epic 70's style keys and lush soundscapes, 99% DM vox.
Sorskogen=Mikaels prog project with Dan on drums and keys
Steel=tribute to 80's metal they grew up with with Mikael, Dan, and Anders.
Diabolical Masquerade=Bizarro BM epics with Anders and Dan
Unicorn=softer jazzier prog rock, based on the classic "swedish sound" of Camel, etc. INteresting, well played and occasionally pop-y. Very good.
