World renowned multi-instrumentalist and producer Dan Swanö (EDGE OF SANITY, NIGHTINGALE, ex-BLOODBATH) has revealed his plans for 2008 in the following online Forum post:

"NIGHTINGALE gigs?

There is a gig in Finland with EVERGREY in March. We are discussing a gig in Spain in April. That is all I know the moment.

ODYSSEY?

The re-release will be out sometime during the last half of the year, and I have recorded a bunch of coverversions to go along with the package. Really geil stuff!!

MOONTOWER 2?

I am writing it right now, and it will not be a Moontower 2... I already have an album title and a cover in mind, but I won't "leak" cause it is so cool that it will most likely be stolen!!! I have written around 50 riffs already where maybe 10 will survive the "filter". Musically it is a cross between ALTER BRIDGE and Moontower-style stuff. There will be more normal singing there and not so one-dimensional like Moontower. There will still be growls, but nothing fast and grinding. I will use a bunch of session musicians that havn't been playing this kind of stuff before and I am sure there will be a nice collision!!

FRAMSHIFT?

Ask Henning. I will sing once he get the stuff written!

More stuff?

I hope to mix and master as much as possible.

I have just finished 6 songs of intense death metal as a session-growler with a project called OBLITERHATE and I am ready happy with the way my growls sound and after a few days it felt like my throat surrendered and let me do this stuff without the throatpain and the blistering headaches, which is cool..

Dan."
