Passenger was formed in 1995 by Patrik Sten and Niclas Engelin. Originally called "Cliff", they recorded two demos that were never released. After a break in the band and after Niclas 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. 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.
