Swedish Metal Genealogy

- Start date
ok, when you add Klas Ideberg to the Darkane box, you can make a new box for "Terror 2000" which is connected to Soilwork (through Björn "Speed" Strid and Henry Ranta (who is also connected to NonExist, since he played their drums during the first month...)). Soilwork is connected to Opeth (Mikael Åckerfeldt contributed vocals on their last album). Opeth is connected to Katatonia and Edge of Sanity (I'm nice enough NOT to mention Dan Swanö 
). Katatonia is related to Diabolical Masquerade and October Tide. October Tide can be connected with a Canorous Quinted and Sins of Omission (because of the vocalist Mårten Hansen). A Canorous Quinted can be connected to Amon Amarth because of drummer Fredrik Anderson. Amon Amarth can be connected back to Opeth because Martin Lopez was their drummer before Andersson.
I could go on for hours, but I'm getting tired...do you really want to finish this?
P.S.: there's even a BIG connection to the Finnish scene...Tomas Lindberg is now the vocalist of The Crown...and the crown had the vocalist of Impaled Nazare on their last album - Alexi Laiho played in Impaled Nazarene but also in Singery, Children of Bodom and some more bands. And the keyboarder of CoB has a project with LOTS of musicians from different bands

Thanks Nico16 and Hearse for your inputs. I will add the bands and members in when I have time within my busy schedule. The enormous relations between bands won't stop me.
I will probably call it "Scandanavian Band Genealogy" or something.
I noticed Lars Ulrich played drums for Mercyful Fate... I'll probably duplicate the chart that extends to American Bands. Or maybe your band might be related.

Hearse has a perfect point... thats actually why me and my friend made up our joke theory... those guys alone could make a whole new chart (not that im trying to make more work for anyone)... oh... but does "being good friends with" count? if it does than you could just about screw everything to hell by linking DT to every band Niklas has done art for 
(think about that list)
(think about that list) you don't know what you're getting yourself into maybe i could help you with that, i still have a huge poster in my room with that though it's not finished or readable for that matter...
As Hearse said it, the Norwegian scene is a pain in the arse think about the relation Emperor/Satyricon/Darkthrone/Mayhem.... with all their side projects :s
even worse is Ulver/Arcturus.....

I think that to make that chart easier you should restrict it only to people who actually where full members of the bands, even if it was only for a short period of time.
geez...there are even more stories involved than i thought..
one more thing...in that swedishroot pic...daniel svenson (in flames, sacrilege) it lack the connection with dimension zero...he sang on the "troops of doom" cover...
Note: This family tree is giving me a headache

hm... i was thinking of another way to display the collected data so far, since already now it's quite big. but on a second thought erd is bullshit for this purpose, and i got no idea how to do it apart from the access stuff. hm... quite difficult. maybe, since you use access, you could set up a database with a small query interface where you can select a band or a person and all related stuff shows up. just a thought.
one more thing (this is gonna last forever)...peter wildoer did not do arch enemy's stigmata...he only did black earth....peter wildoer is on darkane witch guitarplayer Klas Ideberg has a band called terror 2000 witch have henry ranta and bjorn strid from soilwork (henry has departed now)...
relating arch enemy...chris ammot has a band called armageddon witch features daniel erlandson (arch enemy) and had featured on the first album peter wildoer and mike ammot...johan liiva who has departed from arch enemy has a band called NonExist who features Johan Reinholdz guitarplayer of Andromeda and Matte Modin from defleshed/dark funeral...

Okay, I will make three versions of the chart.
The big, lite, and world.
The big version is the 1st chart, which includes everyone who's involved with the band. This chart will get really tricky.
The lite version is just the current and former members of the band. And band that were dissolved, such as At The Gates.
The world version will be the big version with bands from non-Scandanavian countries. This chart will get really tricky.
Anyhoo... here is what I have so far.

It is made from Photoshop'ing screenshots, so there are some lines you have to ignore.
