His experience within the Swedish metal scene goes back many years, and has included many of its luminaries; Liers in Wait , with Kristian Wåhlin; Luciferion, an early band of Dark Tranquillity's Michael Nicklasson; [1] and Crystal Age, consisting of Oscar Dronjak (HammerFall, ex-Ceremonial Oath) and Fredrik Larsson (ex-HammerFall). [2]
Dimension Zero features former In Flames guitarist Jesper Strömblad, also formerly of Ceremonial Oath and HammerFall.
Nilsson's style generally sways within the "blastbeat/double bass" tempo that is typical of death metal. However, one exception can be seen in Diabolique, which takes strong influence from gothic metal.
Nilsson started as a guitarist in his early days but switched to play the drums. He still plays guitar and wrote one of the songs on Dimension Zero's debut album Silent Night Fever . He also wrote a lot of the music in the band Crystal Age.
