There are three artists with the name Nightingale.
Artist #1: Nightingale began in 1995 as a solo goth rock project of Dan Swanö, designed to explore his brief fascination with the genre, also evident on Edge of Sanity tracks such as “Sacrificed”. The first album The Breathing Shadow was recorded and mastered by Swanö alone in the space of a week at his home Unisound studio.
The second album The Closing Chronicles was recorded in April 1996 with his brother Tom Nouga (real name Dag Swanö) acting as producer and contributing some guitar parts. It continues the conceptual storyline that began in The Breathing Shadow to the logical conclusion of the central characters death, as it was intended to be the last Nightingale album.
After this the band went on semi-hiatus, playing a couple of live concerts in small venues around Orebro with future permanent band member Erik Oskarsson on bass and Ari Halinoja playing the drums. The second concert, in October 1998 is remarkable because it marks one of the few times Edge of Sanity songs were performed live by Swanö, the band adding two lighter tracks to bulk out their set (Swanö scarcely performed live with Edge of Sanity, citing his inability to sustain death metal vocals for long enough).

V Thanks, fellow. Nice to read that both new-Nightingale and Witherscape are being recorded this year (Hope they're out this year too though I'm skeptic ;-)).

Yep people are surprised to hear that Dag Swano has written much of the Nightingale material, especially the more recent stuff. They also get confused when I post that Dag Swano is also performing at the OhioProg festival along with Nightingale. Little do they know about Dag's extensive solo catalog.

Yeah! Definitely. I was kinda surprised to learn that most of White Darkness is credited to him... Go Dag!

I'll be honest, that Dag deserves more credit for his part in in Nightingale, than he has now. There's pretty many songs that are also his handwriting.
