Life Dahl changed his name to "Hannes Van Dahl" as an adult.

At the age of 10 he started playing the bass guitar but quickly lost interest and moved on to the drums. His first band was called "The Motherfuckers". Later he started the band Downthrust and ended this engagement to join Evergrey in 2009 while replacing Jonas Ekdahl. Van Dahl's drumming teacher Snowy Shaw, after seeing the potential in him, recommended Van Dahl for Evergrey.

After a rehearsal in The Abyss, he joined Sabaton as an official band member during the Swedish Empire Tour in 2013. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
