Passenger is a metal band with roots from Swedish metal, alternative rock and American nu metal. Currently the band's status is unknown due to some band members' commitments to other projects.

History

Passenger was formed in 1995 by Patrik Sten and Niklas Engelin. Both members wanted to do something that was not Thrash metal or Melodic death metal unlike the bands they played in. At its early stages the band was originally called "Cliff". Under the name Cliff they recorded two demos in Studio Fredman that were never released. After a break in the band and after Niklas was hired as a session guitarist for In Flames' Whoracle tour, Anders Fridén, the vocalist of In Flames showed interest in Passenger and joined the band.

In the year 2000 the band came back from its break and went on to record a demo. In 2001 the band recorded another demo in which early versions of the songs "Used", "In My Head", "Circus" and "Drowning City" were recorded. After a third demo the band finally recorded and released their debut album entitled "Passenger". A video for "In Reverse" was also released.

Patrik Sten noted in February 2004 on their official website that they were in the process of recording their second album. However, since then, Anders Fridén, lead vocalist of both Passenger and In Flames has been noted saying that he has very little time for the project, due to other commitments, and the group is currently on hold.
