One of my favorite metal composers/musicians, and a great singer too. First being known as almost exclusively a death metal musician, he began dabbling in different styles with his neo-progressive rock band Unicorn as early as 1988 when he was 15. Through a long career with such influential bands as Edge of Sanity and Nightingale he has become a prolific producer, multi-instrumentalist, and general legendary name in metal.

[Hennessy Macklemore III]

So this song starts right off with some B2s at 0:56 that seem to have some growly/whispery B1s behind them in a backing vocal, then goes down to an A2 in the line at 1:03, but I don't hear it in the backing vocal there. Really cool G4s at 1:13, F♯4s at 1:40, E4 at 2:11, and a nice melodic backing G1 at 4:53!! Then an F4 at 5:35.

This was a great song, really gave me pretty much everything I could want out of a Dan Swanö performance.
