Family and Work

Despite the huge amounts of releases to his name, Dan still works as chief sales assistant in a music store near his home in Sweden, rarely doing live performances with any of his bands (it has been said that one of the main reasons for this is that he is unable to sustain the heavy growling death metal vocals used in many of his bands for any prolonged period of time). He has his own studio in his home, variously called Unisound or Hellspawn, where he records his own projects as well as the music of other notable underground bands such as Marduk and Dark Funeral. He is married, with one child, and maintains close ties to his family. His elder brother Dag Swanö was in Pan.Thy.Monium under the pseudonym Äag and is a member of Nightingale under the name of Tom Nouga.
