Bio:

Two tracks, a thousand stars that DW turns on while the music of the double single, composed of the songs titled Kissed by an angel and Endless Void, flows with incisive fluency in and out of Dan Wande’s “mundus.”The root of DW‘s new work lies with excellent effectiveness in the sound vision that the artist originally from Piteå, Sweden, has been able to develop and evolve up to here.The previous Dragon Force and Way Back, two releases we had the pleasure of covering months ago – you can find links to our previous writings here: Dan Wande // Dragon Force and Dan Wande // Way Back – now acquire new vestige right in the optics of a path that sees Wande committed not only to release new music but also to develop his brand name DW, as an artist, as a musician, as a creator.The arrival of Kissed by an angel and Endless Void is a very welcome surprise that makes us jump in front of the speakers from the very first notes. The locomotion and the drive, vectorized by the two pieces written by DW, find a special evolution also in the extra touch added by the artists that Wande has chosen for this new work.To give energy and legs to this new two-track album is a new guy rumbling on the drum kit: the Italian Fabio Alessandrini, who normally plays drums in the Annihilator, a Canadian technical thrash metal band founded in 1984.Another wonderful new addition is the Swedish Ulrica Backman, who sings the backing vocals with another Italian, Eugenio Paludi. Two full of character voices, which here subtly add different layers to that of DW.As usual, there is no shortage of Mark Brown on keyboards, and Marcin Palider on bass, which we have greatly appreciated in Wande’s previous works.Another presence that we find pleasing is that of the sharpshooting guitarist Giacomo Pasquali, whose 5-string fretboard is flanked by the lead of Adam Ward, who gives a nice touch of jazz tones on the Kissed by an angel solo.The icing on the cake that seals and further embellishes this valuable release is the mix and mastering signed by Cristoffer Borg for Far Beyond Productions in Gothenborg.As we said, this two-track single is certainly a child sprouted from the roots seen in the previous works of DW. And being Wande, an artist who has sung and produced music for over 40 years, nothing undermines the consistency of the delivery.

Album:

A well-travelled musician making his mark on the industry, Swedish vocalist/guitarist DAN WANDE has been carving out his musical legacy for the better part of four decades. After playing and composing music for the majority of his life, and cutting his teeth in bands like Myopic Void, Grave, Vandee, Unit-X, Stella and Smile, to name just a few, Dan is finally ready to unveil his solo aspirations, stepping out of his home studio and away from his quiet life in the North of Sweden to bring us a sharp melodic hard rock album in “Highway 45″.After two EP’s released a couple years ago which already become something of a Spotify sensation earning over 300,000 cumulative streams already, along with coverage on several national radio stations, Wande has written, produced and arranged ”Highway 45” solely himself with stupendous results, and brought to life with the help of a talented roster of studio musicians.While diverse and always interesting, DAN WANDE’s music is classic Scandi melodic hard rock with occasional metal edge – think Gypsy Rose, Amaze Me, Madison, Angeline, etc – driving by his wailing electric guitar work and very solid vocals, sharp ‘80s style stuff brought kicking and screaming into the modern age.While Dan Wande was lately focused in producing / recording other artists in his own studio, the successful streaming singles spark the recording of “Highway 45”. Many of these songs were written in the ’80s / 90s, now re-arranged and updated to current times yet retaining that era’s feeling.Through a process of deconstruction, assimilation, and metabolization that he has cultivated throughout his 40-year career, Wande has managed to breathe new life into something recognizable in the foundations, now elevated to an ecstatic perspective with a refreshing livery.It’s solid, strong, and definitely worth listening to material. A colourful introduction to another capable musician from the impressive Scandinavian pit.
