The band Gorma, featuring members of Breach, have announced their upcoming debut full-length record Eat The Sky, which will be coming out on January 29, 2026, via Trust No One Recordings. 

In support of the album, the band has revealed 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. The song’s lyrics “evoke folk horror and a bleak landscape where belief offers no protection from the thorns.”  

Twenty-five years ago, the Post-Hardcore act Breach released the album Kollapse and afterwards collapsed. Now, from the wreckage, Gorma has emerged. They say: “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.”

Nordmark says of the decision to return to making music:

I felt that we had something more. 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.

On the album’s sound, Nordmark explains:

I always wanted metal that doesn’t sound like ordinary hard music. 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, 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.”

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”, a journey “into the interior of the self.”
