Mikael Stanne
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mikael Stanne is the vocalist for the Swedish melodic death metal band, Dark Tranquillity. He originally played rhythm guitar and provided backing vocals on their first album, Skydancer, as well as on their early demos, including those released under the name Septic Broiler. After Skydancer, when Anders Friden left Dark Tranquillity, Stanne became the sole vocalist. In addition to his usual "growling" vocals, the band's 1999 album Projector showcased his operatic "clean" singing abilities. He is one of death metals most impressive singers for his abilities to switch styles from a deep bellowing growl to a screaching piercing scream. He also wrote many of the band's lyrics.
He was a session vocalist for the Swedish melodic death metal band, In Flames, providing the lead vocals on their debut album Lunar Strain (1994). Contrary to popular belief, he was never a full member of the band - he did the session work as a "favor".
He also contributed his voice to fellow Swedish heavy metal band, Hammerfall, from 1993 to 1996, although there are no recordings of him with the band.
