PETER LINDAHL Is a multi instrumentalist and singer who lives in Sweden. He is the leader of the experimental band/project IN THE LABYRINTH and performs a wide variety of instruments including mellotron, electric and acoustic guitars, mandolin, various flutes and woodwinds, synthesizers, samplers, bass, percussion, viola da gamba, saz, zither, etc and is also responsible as recording engineer and producer.

According to the official In The Labyrinth website, the main concern of ITL is "to mix a wide array of styles to create a symbiosis quite unlike most music heard of today. You could define it as progressive rock with a strong ethnical element, almost like an early Pink Floyd with both classical and oriental overtones."

Three CD albums have so far been released, the first one appearing in 1996 as THE GARDEN OF MYSTERIES (APM 9613AT/Symphilis 5. This album emerged after the initial set up of the band/project had been dissolved, a constellation once called Aladinns lampa (Aladinn's lantern) which was comprised of Peter Lindahl, Mikael Gejel and a few others.

In the year of 1999 a second CD album saw the light of day, namely WALKING ON CLOUDS (TAP/RHCD21), this one released by TAP / Record heaven and boasting a clear reference to India, something having owed itself partly to Peter and his wife travelling to the subcontinent in 1997 but also to Håkan Almkvist who arrived earlier the same year thus becoming a permanent member.

In 2002 Peter had yet another release with In the Labyrinth, this one called DRYAD (TAP/RHCD 65), also backed by TAP / Record Heaven, after which there are rumours about two different albums being sporadically worked upon, one called To our rescue where Peter's late brother Niklas Lindahl is featured as a songwriter while the other one is Samas antaral, a long term project run by Peter Lindahl and Stefan Ottman, the two of them having cowritten, coproduced and helped share most of the instruments on the tracks of this album.

Besides the titles mentioned above, Lindahl has participated in several CD compilations by contributing a large amount of single In the labyrinth recordings. Some of these albums are :
