Daniel Svensson

Daniel Svensson (born 20 November 1977) is the former drummer and youngest member of the Swedish band In Flames, and drummer / vocalist for the band Sacrilege GBG. He was also in Diabolique before he joined in Flames in 1998 to fill the position created when Björn Gelotte moved 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. He is also a supporter of the Swedish football team IFK Göteborg. Daniel decided to leave In Flames after finishing up the Europe tour on 20 November 2015. He now brews beer at his brewery outside Gothenburg, Odd Island Brewing, together with former In Flames bandmate Peter Iwers, among others.
