WITHERSCAPE Line-Up:
Dan Swanö – Vocals, Drums and Keyboards
Ragnar Widerberg – Guitars and Bass
Having played in numerous bands including Edge Of Sanity, Nightingale, Bloodbath and many more as either guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, drummer, and/or vocalist, as well as producing shitloads of albums by Opeth, Katatonia, Asphyx and, well, more, if anyone knows anything about music on the weighty edge of things, then it’s Dan Swanö. Together multi-instrumentalist with Ragnar Widerberg, Witherscape’s debut album, The Inheritance, has emerged. With such a vast contribution to music behind him, you’d be correct were you to assume that many a metal subgenre has been feasted upon and regurgitated into something that is, at the very least, interesting.
