Patrik Niels Jensen[2] (born 24 November 1969) is a Swedish guitarist. He is a guitarist and founding member of the extreme metal bands The Haunted (1996–present)[3] and Witchery (1997–present),[4] and also a former guitarist for Orchriste (1987–1990), Seance (1990–1995)[5] and Satanic Slaughter (1994–1996).[6]
Jensen was raised in Edmonton, Canada until he was 10.[7] 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.[8] 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.[9] Jensen also played with Haunted bandmates in At The Gates at Wacken Open Air in 2022 following the departure of Jonas Stålhammar.[10]
