Gorma (feat. members of Breach) have announced their upcoming debut full-length record »Eat The Sky«, which will be coming out on January 29 via Trust No One Recordings.

In support of the album, the band has unleashed the track »The Thicket«, which explores faith, doubt, and mortality through the story of two companions walking towards the same unknown end. One believes in God; the other seeks truth in pain. Rooted in Gorma’s dark world, its lyrics evoke folk horror and a bleak landscape where belief offers no protection from the thorns.

Out now on all major streaming platforms, you can listen to »The Thicket« HERE.

Twenty-five years ago, the seminal post-hardcore act Breach released the album »Kollapse« and promptly imploded. The silence that followed was not empty; it was incubating. Now, from the wreckage, Gorma emerges. This is not a reunion. It is a mutation.

Marking the first musical collaboration between drummer/producer Per Nordmark and vocalist Tomas Liljedahl since the turn of the millennium, Gorma is a project shaped by time, erosion, and a refusal to retrace old steps.

“I felt that we had something more,” says Nordmark on the decision to return. “I really missed the other guys, but as life turned out, doing music together again as Breach would be impossible. I wanted to make metal music again, and I love how Tomas sings. It is a kind of searching and traveling where you don’t know where you are going, but we do.”

The Architecture of Ugliness

“I always wanted metal that doesn’t sound like ordinary hard music,” Nordmark explains. “I use a lot of distorted pianos, beats, and analog sounds that I push. I wanted it to sound like Fabio Frizzi’s melodies, but translated into ugliness, where beauty and scary sounds coexist.”

The band’s name itself – Gorma – is an old Swedish dialect word meaning “to scream.” It captures the project’s intent: a primal, manic state of mind captured on tape. The production philosophy is stripped of ego, replaced by a visceral physicality. Lyrically and thematically, Gorma moves through a landscape that is less about Vikings or mythology, and more akin to the bleak, American gothic expanse of Cormac McCarthy. It is a journey into the interior of the self. “[…] Nordmark describes. “It can be frightening and dark, but at the same time beautiful. I want Gorma to exist in that space.”

»Eat The Sky« will be released on vinyl and streaming via Trust No One Recordings on January 29th and is available for pre-order here: tnor.se/gorma | gorma.bandcamp.com
