| In Flames plus Transport League plus Gardenian plus a Swedish bass player equals what? The all-star metal outfit Passenger, dear readers, whose 11-track release kicks you in the head from the opening of the electric "In Reverse".

Yet, the conjured post-hardcore sound mixed with these Swedes undeniable Gothenburg roots contain sturdy hooks, (check out "I Die Slowly" for a memorable chorus), aggressive rhythms, and above all, massive amounts of groove and soul, making this self-titled side project a triumphant metal release. If you dug the early '90s metal scene from NYC, chances are Passenger will be a favorite of yours too. | ||
