Daniel Erlandsson

His older brother is Adrian Erlandsson, the drummer of At the Gates, The Haunted, Brujeria, Paradise Lost and Vallenfyre and the former drummer of Cradle of Filth. They both grew up together in Sweden and started playing drums at a very young age. Daniel writes on the Arch Enemy website: "We grew up together and used to jam on a little kit in our parents basement, he started first and after some years I started too.. He's been a great influence over the years, and if it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't be playing today." He formerly played reunion shows with extreme metal band Carcass from 2007 to 2010 as their original drummer Ken Owen could not play due to complications from a brain hemorrhage he had in 1999. Both he and fellow Arch Enemy member Michael Amott left Carcass in 2012, with Erlandsson being replaced by former Aborted and current Trigger the Bloodshed drummer Daniel Wilding. In 2012, he was hired by the band Brujeria, under the name "El Clavador".
