Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

As part of the “Fourth Chapter” of the comprehensive catalogue re-issue campaign for Dan Swanö fronted Death Metallers EDGE OF SANITY and Prog/Hardrock outfit NIGHTINGALE, the time is now also come to re-issue a definitive version of the first solo by the Swedish vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and acclaimed metal producer (Opeth, Katatonia, Dissection, etc.). Originally released in 1999 to much acclaim due to its stylistically ground-breaking keyboard-oriented, atmospheric and 70’s rock inspired Death Metal, DAN SWANÖ’s “Moontower (Re-issue)” is out today via Century Media Records worldwide.

Next to a careful full remastering treatment by Dan Swanö himself, “Moontower (Re-issue)” comes with plenty of bonus material (several demos and two cover versions) in the following formats:
