Daniel Svensson


Daniel Svensson is a Swedish drummer. He is currently a member of the Swedish supergroup The Halo Effect and formerly a drummer of the metal bands In Flames, Sacrilege GBG and Diabolique.
In 1998, Svensson took Björn Gelotte's job occupation as drummer when Gelotte switched from drums to guitars. In Flames' first album with him as drummer along with Peter Iwers was Colony, and it was released the following year. He rejoined Sacrilege GBG in 2006. Svensson decided to leave In Flames after finishing up the Europe tour in November 2015. He is also running a beer brewing company together with former In Flames bandmate Peter Iwers. They have their own beer brewery outside Gothenburg called Odd Island Brewing.

Influences

Svensson is a self-taught drummer. He looks up to Vinnie Paul of Pantera as a big influence on his playing.
