	Joachim Dahlberg - Vocals Alx Reuterskiöld - Guitars Olle Cederborg - Guitars Magnus Åsard - Bass Jesper Örtegren - Drums Closer was founded in 2004 by Joachim Dahlberg, Alx Reuterskiöld and Magnus Åsard. With Jocke Göthberg (ex-Marduk, Dimension Zero, Nifters) behind the drums, they recorded a selftitled, three song demo the same year. Shortly after that, Jocke left the band. With no replacement, Closer was set in rest mode for almost a year, while members focused on other projects. In the beginning of 2005, Closer got a new start when two new band members were recruited: Jesper Örtegren and Olle Cederborg. With new inspiration, the band started writing new songs, and the idea of a thematic EP was slowly coming to life. After intense writing and rehearsals during the spring, Closer entered the studio in August to record Tokpela EP. In October, the self produced album was mastered at Cutting Room in Stockholm by Thomas Eberger (Opeth, The Hives). Currently, a video for EP opener Open Casket is in full production, and a series of live shows are being planned. New material for future releases is also in the making.
