Rasmus Ehrnborn
Rasmus Ehrnborn is a Swedish musician whose journey has led him to stages across the world as bassist for Soilwork and lead guitarist for The Night Flight Orchestra. His path began with a deep curiosity for music — not only how to play it, but how to write it, shape it, and bring it to life.
With Soilwork, Rasmus plays bass and writes music, helping shape the band’s distinctive mix of intensity and melody. His studio work with the group began on the acclaimed EP A Whisp of the Atlantic and continued with the full-length album Övergivenheten, where his low-end rumble helped expand the band’s sound while staying true to its roots. On stage, he brings energy and precision, grounding the band’s performances with both power and groove.
In The Night Flight Orchestra, Rasmus plays lead guitar and writes music, helping define the band’s melodic, cinematic rock sound. He stepped into the role following the passing of David Andersson, and before that occasionally filled in on bass, percussion, and keyboards whenever extra hands were needed. Having appeared as a session musician on previous albums, his first album as the lead guitarist of the band was Give Us the Moon, on which he also wrote songs.
Earlier in his career, Rasmus performed with artists and bands such as Paul Di’Anno and Sweet, experiences that broadened his approach to both live performance and studio work. While he occasionally shares his experience through workshops, most of Rasmus’s time is spent writing, recording, and touring.
His work has also led to partnerships with trusted gear brands, including ESP Guitars and Basses, EBS Bass Amps and Effects, BLACKSTAR Amplifiers, Dunlop/MXR, and now ROCKBOARD, whose tools help him deliver reliable tone night after night.
Rasmus’s story is one of steady growth — from musician to songwriter, from stage performer to creative collaborator. Whether laying down intricate lines with Soilwork or soaring melodies with The Night Flight Orchestra, his focus remains simple: to serve the song and connect with audiences through music.

"As someone who plays in two touring bands and juggles a bunch of other projects, RockBoard has really proven itself as the go-to for my pedalboards. The layouts just make sense, the build quality is rock solid, and I never worry about them holding up on the road. The MODs give me the flexibility I need, and setup is quick and painless, which keeps my tech and sound guy happy too. I’ve even mocked up different versions of my boards with their online configurator, so you can check those out on my profile."
