Moontower is a solo studio album by Swedish extreme metal musician Dan Swanö. As of 2026, it is Swanö's only solo album. A remaster was released in 2026.[2]
The album has a death metal sound heavily influenced by progressive rock, similar to that of Opeth; Dan Swanö described the album as sounding like “If Rush played death metal in the 1970s”. The album cover is a close up of Swanö's own eye.
