Where is Swano's version btw? I can't find anything on him outside
of his ultimate metal forum, seems he has no website of his own
anymore. I too found it hard to believe that Dan would want to make
Bloodbath more melodic since the whole point of the band is brutal
death metal. If he wants to write melodic death metal he can do that
with Edge of Sanity and melodic hard rock with Nightingale.
