Info:
WORMWOOD, one of Sweden’s most distinctive and internationally acclaimed metal bands, return with their new EP "Å" – a work that further cements the band’s position as one of the most innovative forces in modern extreme metal.
Since their formation in Stockholm in 2014, WORMWOOD have developed a sound that is as unmistakable as it is atmospheric. With their characteristic fusion of extreme metal, Scandinavian melancholy, folk influences, and cinematic storytelling, the band has created a sonic landscape that both moves and mesmerizes. Their music effortlessly shifts between grand, epic scope and brutally grounded intensity – a balance few bands truly master.
With four full-length albums, one EP, a live release, and now the forthcoming "Å", WORMWOOD have built a catalog that continually evolves while deepening the band’s artistic identity. Their work has received widespread recognition: two nominations for “Rock/Metal of the Year” at P3 Guld, strong placements on the official Swedish charts, and recurring international praise from metal media around the world. WORMWOOD have also appeared on several global “Album of the Year” lists – a testament to their growing influence.
WORMWOOD’s reputation, however, is not confined to the studio. The band has toured extensively across Europe, performed at major festivals, and completed their own headline tours. Their audience continues to grow steadily, particularly in Germany, France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States, where their cinematic music videos and strong digital presence further enhance their visual and musical identity.
The new EP "Å" is mixed and mastered by acclaimed producer Sverker Widgren (Wing Studios, Stockholm), whose work highlights WORMWOOD’s ability to combine technical brilliance with raw emotional power. The result is a sound that is both refined and uncompromising – a journey through melodic intensity, atmospheric depth, and an artistic vision that continues to push boundaries.
Today, WORMWOOD stand as one of the most forward-thinking and compelling bands in Swedish metal. With "Å", they take another step in their artistic evolution – one that promises to captivate both loyal fans and new listeners around the world.
