Patrik Jensen
Swedish guitarist
Patrik Niels Jensen (born 24 November 1969) is a Swedish guitarist. He is a guitarist and founding member of the extreme metal bands The Haunted (1996–present) and Witchery (1997–present), and also a former guitarist for Orchriste (1987–1990), Seance (1990–1995) and Satanic Slaughter (1994–1996).
Jensen was raised in Edmonton, Canada until he was 10. He received his first guitar when he was seven years old, but started playing when he was sixteen years old – he took guitar lessons for five years thereafter. Jensen plays his signature E1.6 Jensen from Solar Guitars and uses Engl amplification and EMG pick-ups (85/81).
In 2013, Jensen played some live shows with In Flames for Niclas Engelin when Engelin was unable to play. As of 2021, Jensen serves as a part-time touring guitarist for The Halo Effect replacing Jesper Stromblad when he is unable to play due to ongoing illness. Jensen also played with Haunted bandmates in At The Gates at Wacken Open Air in 2022 following the departure of Jonas Stålhammar.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Patrik Jensen” as swedish guitarist. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as swedish guitarist. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3277287. VIAF identifies the subject as 80219807. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1969, 1996, 1997 and 1987.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
