ORM: Danish Black Metal Band To Release Fourth Album, GULD, Through Indisciplinarian On October 31st; Lyric Video For Lead Single, “Undfangen,” Preorders, And More Posted
Watch ORM’s “Undfangen” lyric video HERE.
Danish black metal band ORM delivers its fourth album, GULD, which will be released on October 31st through Indisciplinarian.
With GULD, ORM marks yet another important step in their musical development, building on their characteristic epic and progressive approach to black metal, this time in a more direct and intensified format with five shorter and more concise compositions.
GULD was produced by guitarist/vocalist Simon Sonne Andersen and ORM, mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Obituary, Internal Bleeding, Vastum), and completed with artwork by Asger W. Krogh and photography by Lasse Høgh.
ORM states with the “Undfangen” single, “‘Undfangen' is one of the shorter songs on the album, but it captures the essence of the foundation upon which the whole record is built. Although it may be the slowest track on the album, it shifts its expression several times throughout, like a mourner swinging between apathy, depression, anger and desperate devotion.”

ORM was formed in 2015 and released its eponymous debut album in 2017, introducing the band’s melodic and ambitious approach to black metal. On their second album Ir in 2019 and its successor Intet • Altet in 2022, ORM expanded their musical palette with long, epic works and a deep thematic foundation rooted in mythology, folklore, and existential narratives. With GULD, the band once again takes a step toward a more riff-driven and aggressive expression, without abandoning the emotional and yearning atmospheres that have made them one of the most acclaimed names on the Danish metal scene.
Thematically, GULD explores modern humanity’s self-destructive cultivation of negative emotions – a vain and manipulated pursuit of perfection and recognition that leads to fear, isolation, and downfall. The album uses frameworks inspired by folklore and fables to portray human vanity, envy and self-deception as universal forces that have haunted mankind’s stories throughout history. Gold becomes a symbol of both wealth and decay – an alluring but poisoned promise that can never be fulfilled without a heavy price.
Musically, GULD is ORM’s most focused and uncompromising album to date. The five songs, which range from six to twelve minutes, are built around intense riff structures, relentless rhythmic shifts and complex melodies that weave in and out of each other like a musical kaleidoscope. The album moves between furious aggression, deep sorrow and ominous calm, placing ORM in a field of tension between traditional black metal and progressive elements drawn from both death metal and classic metal.
ORM unites human synergy and analog craftsmanship – both in their music and in their visual expression, where collage artist Asger Krogh’s tactile artwork stands in contrast to today’s AI-driven aesthetics and emphasizes the album’s physical and organic undertone. With GULD, ORM once again demonstrates their ability to combine extreme music with deep thematic layers and artistic ambition, cementing their position as one of Europe’s most visionary black metal bands.
ORM:
Simon Sonne Andersen – guitar, vocals
Theis Wilmer Poulsen – guitar, vocals
Adam Bjørn Schønemann-Warming – drums
Malthe Yde Tiufkær – bass
