Swedish hard rock powerhouse S.O.R.M returns with a brand-new stand-alone single, “I’m A Killer” – a hard-hitting and emotionally charged track that once again showcases the band’s raw energy and uncompromising attitude.
“I’m A Killer” dives into a dark and painful chapter of history, addressing how Native Americans were driven from their lands, forced to fight and flee for their lives. The song reflects on the brutality of the conflict, and the long-lasting scars that remain to this day.
S.O.R.M comments: “The new single ‘I’m A Killer’ is about how Native Americans got chased away from their land and how man, women and children had to fight and run for their lives. Also about how coward the white man was by using firearms to win the battle and how it changed the Native Americans till today. Now they live in reserves and are treated like thieves. The title ‘I’m A Killer’ is what we can imagine what they needed to turn into, to stay alive.“
With “I’m A Killer”, S.O.R.M once again proves their ability to combine powerful storytelling with thunderous riffs and driving rhythms; delivering a track that is both thought-provoking and sonically intense.
“I’m A Killer” is out now via Noble Demon and available on all major streaming platforms.
S.O.R.M are: Micke Holm – vocals/ backing guitar Patrik Sandström – backing vocals/ lead guitar Johan Östman – Backing vocals/ bass Robin Wernebratt – Drums
Swedish hard rock outfit S.O.R.M has officially unleashed their brand new track, ‘The Sacrifice’, which offers another powerful statement from the Lidköping-based four-piece. The stand-alone single is out now via Noble Demon and available for streaming HERE.
The band offers insight into the single’s core message: “The new single is a song that speaks to everyone. It’s about all the sacrifices we do just so we can keep on living. At the end we all turn to the lord and ask for a hero that can help lead the way. My problems in life are different from yours but we all sometimes need to do sacrifices to keep on moving forward. The hardest work is to sacrifice something without regrets. But in the end we always wonder if he hears you calling out.“
Formed in 2017, S.O.R.M quickly made a name for themselves with the release of their outstanding “Hellraiser” EP (2020), which introduced the band to the world and captivated audiences with their infectious hooks right from the start. The band’s 2023 debut album, “Under My Skin” (Noble Demon), further solidified their position in the hard rock scene, featuring guest appearances by legendary guitarists Doug Blair of W.A.S.P. and Nick Petrino of Dee Snider.

Swedish hard rock sensation S.O.R.M has unleashed the standalonesingle, “Scream”. This track marks the first release with new guitarist Patrik Sandström and showcases the band’s eclectic blend of hard rock, heavy metal, and classic rock – S.O.R.M style!
“Scream is S.O.R.M’s first song written as a four-piece band. So it’s Patrik’s first recording with S.O.R.M,” the band explains. “We are tired that us musicians can’t express ourselves with lyrics and music videos without being judged. So with “Scream” we stepped out of the box and wrote a song about Sex and being in control of your sexual needs. Writing music is a form of art. And like an artist that paints a portrait of two naked people having sex without being judged: Why can’t we musicians express ourselves the way we want?“

Rising hard rock outfit S.O.R.M has just dropped a powerful new single, featuring legendary Doug Blair of W.A.S.P. The track, titled “Under My Skin”, showcases the band’s signature blend of contemporary and traditional heavy music, with a touch of power ballad magic.
“I am very proud of a collaboration that began already 2 years ago, when Micke Holm asked if I’d contribute a lead to a track being recorded by his band S.O.R.M“, says Doug Blair.
“I’d met Micke a while after he purchased the very last unsold 1990s BLAIR MUTANT TWIN double neck acoustic/electric guitar, which I delivered to his colleague in Stockholm. We’ve performed together quite a few times since then, in Sweden and Finland, as a duo and with the S.O.R.M Band. It’s been great to know the guys, and be involved a bit in their growth!”
He continues:
“Cautiously agreeing to take a listen to a song (always being naturally skeptical), ‘Under My Skin’ enthralled on first listen! Micke’s vocal delivery, the lyrics and dynamics of the arrangement all made me PUMPED UP to craft something cool for the emotional solo section. Last year, we finally found time to meet and mix the song in Stockholm – as I had requested (and demoed) a few effective overall arrangement/dynamics ideas, which I thought would improve the results! If you enjoy my leads on “Heaven’s Hung”, “Miss You”, etc., you WILL enjoy this song and lead! Give these guys a listen, and soon l’ll announce an upcoming appearance with Micke again!“
Guitarist and vocalist Micke Holm about the track:
“This version of ‘Under My Skin’ was the original version of the song from the beginning.It was meant to be on the album but unfortunately was not finished in time. That’s why we did a piano version for the record. In this power ballad version, we have the honor to work with Doug Blair from the legendary W.A.S.P and Anna Brygård from The Nightflight Orchestra.“
Furthermore, this song in particular is a very special piece of music for guitarist and singer Micke Holm, as the band reveals: “Under My Skin is a very personal song to Micke. It’s about him battling with depression and suicidal anxiety for many years. And it’s also a reminder to all you who have anxiety or know someone who has, that you’re not alone! We are all brothers and sisters battling the same war!“
