If you like Dan Swanö's work, you might want to check out this compilation. Long before Tobias Forge achieved worldwide fame with Ghost, there was another Swedish hard rock band with the same name. In 1983, then 10-year-old Dan Swanö started Ghost with his 12-year-old friend Anders Måreby, drawing influences from KISS and other classic rock groups of the late '70s and early '80s. It was six years prior to when Dan Swanö founded the death metal group Edge Of Sanity.
