The End Records is very proud to announce we have signed Dan Swanö’s Nightingale for North America. Recordings begin May 3rd at Soundlab Studios for a possible release date in the Fall, 2002.
The upcoming album is entitled “Alive Again” and while the songs are fully completed there are only 2 song titles so far: ‘Alive Again (Part IV)’ and ‘The Shadowman.’ According to Dan: “[compared to the previous releases the new album will] be a bit of everything. Some tracks are in major key for a change without being too commercial; sad major. There is some chunky stuff, one 10 minute mega epic and a few traditional Nightingale style rockers. You will dig it...I promise!!!”
