Stefan "Stipen" Carlsson joined Blackshine in 2002, when previous sticksman Håkan Eriksson decided to leave the band three weeks (!) before the promotion tour of their 2002 album "Soulless & Proud". Stipen did an amazing job in learning the songs in such short notice, making the tour a successful one and he became a permanent member afterwards. However, he left Blackshine in November 2005, and was followed up by Christofer Barkensjö, who also plays in Kaamos.



Stefan "Stipen" Carlsson continued to play in Harm's Way. Previously Carlsson had played in Merciless, Dia Psalma/Strebers and Transport League.
