PASSENGER - Working on new material ! - 4 March 2004
PASSENGER: Just after finishing a successful European tour with their label mates Lacuna Coil, Moonspell and Poisonblack Sweden's PASSENGER have entered the studio to attack recordings to their yet untitled album and follow up to 2003's self-titled debut album. Read what drummer Patrik J. Sten (ex-Transport League) posts on their website:
"We started recording drumtracks for 12 new PASSENGER songs Monday February 9th got done Wednesday 11th at noon. We moved on to the rhythm guitars in the afternoon and finished them up on Thursday 12th. The recording has been very fast so far and the sound is amazing. The recording of the tracks has been done at Studio Fredman where I work and we probably gonna do some tracking at Phlat Planet where Anders (Friden - vocals, In Flames) works, since both studios are in the same location. We have not yet decided where or with whom we are going to mix it, but we feel that we have to try something new for this one."
Challenged by the smashing response to songs like "In Reverse" or "Carnival Diaries" PASSENGER will head for a more stripped down sound with their new material. "The songs feel heavy and more direct, but still with the typical Passenger vibe. We are very confident about the material and can't wait to go out there and deliver it live. Till then, Cheers!"
Like on Passenger the line-up will be completed by 3rd steady member and riff-god Niclas Engelin (Gardenian) on guitars as well as Hakan Skoger (Headplate) who'll support the band for their studio-works.
Watch out for a release and more shows in fall! http://www.passenger.nu
