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. The young duo composed 60 songs between 1983 and 1988, most of them sung in Swedish but a few in English as well. They made several demo and live recordings but never landed a record deal despite their best efforts.

Now, 30 years after Swanö's Ghost transformed into Icarus and then Unicorn, 30 songs from Dan's first serious band will be released on May 18th by Bone Records on CD (limited to 200 copies) and double gatefold LP (300 copies, black vinyl).
