PASSENGER, RELEVANT FEW Members Join Forces In KEROZENE

April 21, 2004

KEROZENE, a brand new Swedish group featuring guitarist Niclas Engelin (PASSENGER, ex-GARDENIAN, IN FLAMES),drummer Patrik J. Sten (PASSENGER, ex-TRANSPORT LEAGUE),bassist Robert Hakemo (ex-GARDENIAN, GOOSEFLESH) and newcomer vocalist Mikael Skager, have completed the recordings for their debut album and are currently mixing the effort at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg for a late 2004 release through an as-yet-undetermined label. Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Sinking", "Dead to the World", "Stitches of the Soul" and "Angelic".

Based on an advance preview of the above-mentioned four tracks, KEROZENE's sound can best be described a potent mixture of hook-laden vocal melodies and powerful riffing that at times is not a million miles removed from that of Engelin and Sten's other band, PASSENGER.

The members of the group, who are presently unsigned, are said to be treating KEROZENE as their number one priority in the wake of GARDENIAN's recent breakup and PASSENGER's current "on hold" status while singer Anders Friden is touring with IN FLAMES. More information will be made available during the coming months.
