Marcel Jacob, born in January 1964 in Stockholm, Sweden. He is the bassist in the hard rock bands Talisman and Last Autumn's Dream. In 1978, he formed the band Rising Force together with guitarist Yngwie J. Malmsteen. Three years later Jacob joined the band Europe - who at that time were called Force - replacing John Levén, who took Jacob's place in Rising Force.
At that time Jacob wrote the song "Black Journey for My Soul" together with vocalist Joey Tempest. Years later the song would be included on Europe's second album Wings of Tomorrow, retitled "Scream of Anger". After spending three months in Force, Jacob traded places with John Levén again, who apparently had issues with Malmsteen.
In 1987 Jacob played on the album Total Control, the first solo album released by Europe guitarist John Norum. Jacob also co-wrote several of the songs included on that album.
Two years later he formed the band Talisman together with vocalist Jeff Scott Soto.
In 1992 Marcel played on a song with Lion's Share, "Nothing's Free", which was included on a Belgian compilation. Later Lion's Share have achieved great success, also abroad, but Marcel wasn't part of that. In 1993 he was guest musician on Thomas Vikström's solo album "If I Could Fly". They had played together in the cover band Horny Strings. The same year Marcel was guest musician on the album "Something Wicked Comes" by Billionaires Boys Club.
In 1994 he played on The Johansson Brothers' self-titled album. Another band Marcel formed was Human Clay, together with Jeff Scott Soto. They recorded two albums. In 1996, Marcel played on "Inspiration", a cover album recorded by Yngwie J. Malmsteen.
In 2005 by the time that Last Autumn's Dream go to began to work on their second effort, the band have to change to all the Europe members for Marcel Jacob, drummer Jamie Borger (Talisman, Treat) and keyboarder Thomas Lassar (Crystal Blue).
Throughout the years Talisman have been his mayor effort and have released several studio and live albums until 2007.
