May 18, 2024

ZORNHEYM have announced the addition of their new drummer and the release of their latest single "None for All" (Listen HERE). After the departure of Steve Pygmalion, Qual will be taking over the drumming duties for the Stockholm-based symphonic extreme metal band.

Reflecting on his time with the band, Steve Pygmalion comments: "Zornheym has been a significant part of my life since I joined in 2017. We have shared many memories and grown together as people and artists. I wish the band all the best and am excited for their upcoming album. Long live Zornheym!"

Zorn, the band's founder, expressed his excitement about Qual joining the group: "It felt natural with Qual right from the start! Filling the drum throne after both Angst and Steve is no easy task, but he is doing a fantastic job."

Qual, known for his work with bands like Prime Creation, Morifade, and Nephenzy, about joining the band: "I‘m extremely happy and proud to be a part of Zornheym and their crazy world. I have always been a fan of their cool mix of extreme metal, symphonic elements, good songwriting, and Bendler’s fantastic voice. And of course the whole Zornheym concept. I’d like to say a huge thanks to Zorn, Bendler, and Scucca for believing in me and taking me on this journey. And to all inmates of Zornheym, see you at the shows!"

The first show with the new lineup will take place on July 5th and 6th at the Metal Theatre Festival in Kalmar, Sweden. So get ready for it and enjoy the band's brand new single "None for All", which already provides you with a first insight into ZORNHEYM's new formation.

ZORNHEYM - Release New EP "The Forgotten Inmates"; Share Video For "Slumber Comes In Time + New Graphic Novel!

November 5, 2023

Swedish symphonic extreme metal act ZORNHEYM, founded and led by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Zorn (ex-DARK FUNERAL / ex-Devian), has released its brand new EP, The Forgotten Inmates. This acoustic EP marks the next chapter in the band's haunting musical journey. Following the success of their debut album, Where Hatred Dwells and Darkness Reigns, which introduced listeners to the band's terrifying concept of a mental institution and its prisoners, ZORNHEYM continued their narrative-driven approach with their 2021 full-length record, The Zornheim Sleep Experiment. Now, with The Forgotten Inmates, the band delves deeper into their dark universe!

The EP features a folk version of the track "Slumber Comes in Time," accompanied by a brand new music video. ZORNHEYM's unique take on this song showcases their ability to blend their powerful symphonic elements with folk influences. The main melody, derived from an original Swedish folk song, sets the tone for a chilling experience that immerses listeners in the band's twisted world.

Speaking about the acoustic rendition of "Slumber Comes in Time", ZORNHEYM shared, "We wanted to arrange it in a folk style. The main melody for the song is taken from an original Swedish folk song, so we felt it suitable to rewrite the lyrics in Swedish as well to really lean into the source."

ZORNHEYM, however, do not only represent musical talent but also strong visual art that has always surrounded their works, as both albums of the band are accompanied by a stunning graphic novel, in which each chapter takes a closer look at the different inmates of the ZORNHEYM asylum. While the album's lyrics and the session notes in the booklet served as two parts of the complete story, with the release of "The Forgotten Inmates" ZORNHEYM now deliver the final piece of the puzzle, as the EP comes along with the official graphic novel for the band's latest album The Zornheim Sleep Experiment, and you will follow Dr. Bettelheim from when he is putting the final touches on his statement of intent till the horrific ending of the experiment. As on their debut Where Hatred Dwells and Darkness Reigns ZORNHEYM have again collaborated with the super talented Finnish artist Anu Saari, who has brought the story to life with her amazing painting skills!

The Forgotten Inmates was recorded at Wing Studios. Mix and master by Sverker Widgren. The EP was produced by Sverker Widgren & Zorn. Artwork by Anu Saari. "The Forgotten Inmates" is available for purchase at THIS LOCATION

Symphonic extreme metal act ZORNHEYM Announces Graphic Novel Version of "The Zornheim Sleep Experiment" and Brand New Acoustic EP; Releases Lyric Video for First Single!

September 29, 2023

ZORNHEYM have just announced the graphic novel version of the band’s latest album The Zornheim Sleep Experiment and a brand new acoustic EP, entitled The Forgotten Inmates, which will be released on Nov. 3rd via Noble Demon. With the lyric video for the first single "Keep the Devil Away", the band has unleashed a first preview of the upcoming graphic novel today. Watch the video here:
English: below.
French: https://youtu.be/CyqkcigKDKk

Founded and led by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Zorn (ex- DARK FUNERAL / ex- Devian), Swedish symphonic extreme metal act ZORNHEYM quickly grew from an ambitious idea into a dramatic musical and narrative driven concept revolving around the horrors of a mental institution and its prisoners. In 2017, ZORNHEYM officially opened the doors of the asylum with their debut album Where Hatred Dwells and Darkness Reigns, introducing the terrifying concept and the gruesome characters within. With powerful, cinematic and captivating symphonic extreme metal, the band took the listener under its spell and the story found its disturbing continuation in 2021 with the band's latest full-length record The Zornheim Sleep Experiment.

Two critically acclaimed albums that not only musically respresent the class of ZORNHEYM, but also visually are something quite exceptional, as both records are accompanied by a stunning graphic novel, in which each chapter takes a closer look at the different inmates of the ZORNHEYM asylum. While the album's lyrics and the session notes in the booklet served as two parts of the complete story, ZORNHEYM now deliver the third and final piece of the puzzle with the graphic novel, and you will follow Dr. Bettelheim from when he is putting the final touches on his statement of intent till the horrific ending of the experiment. As on their debut "Where Hatred Dwells and Darkness Reigns" ZORNHEYM have again collaborated with the super talented Finnish artist Anu Saari, who has brought the story to life with her amazing painting skills!

ZORNHEYM about the making of their new EP:
"During the pandemic Zorn and Bendler did some live streaming and played acoustic interpretations of some of our songs. When it was time to record “The Zornheim Sleep Experiment” we decided to record “Whom the Night Brings” as an acoustic version to add as a bonus.

The original plan was to release that bonus track when the graphic novel was done. Due to a pregnancy the graphic novel was delayed. Zorn then remembered that Blind Guardian had released an album with acoustic interpretations of some of their songs in the ‘90’s. To reward our patient inmates we felt that we wanted to record a couple of songs, since the graphic novel took longer than expected to finalize. To thank our French fans that gave us an extra warm welcome on the successful French tour last year we decided to record “Keep the Devil Away” in French as well.

For “Slumber Comes in Time” we decided to make it in Swedish, since it’s based around an old folk tune that the Vallons brought to Sweden during the 1700’s, and base the whole song around that old folk melody."

So put on the album, sit down in your favorite chair and join ZORNHEYM into the depths of the asylum!

The Forgotten Inmates was recorded at Wing Studios. Mix and master by Sverker Widgren. The EP was produced by Sverker Widgren & Zorn. Artwork by Anu Saari.

August 15, 2021

Stockholm’s ZORNHEYM have announced their worldwide signing with Germany's powerhouse label Noble Demon for the release of the band’s sophomore album, entitled The Zornheim Sleep Experiment.

Founded and led by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Zorn, who was determined to shake up the traditional "metal-meets-symphony" approach after leaving iconic black metallers Dark Funeral, ZORNHEYM quickly grew from an ambitious idea into a dramatic musical and narrative driven concept revolving around the horrors of a mental institution and its prisoners. The band's critically acclaimed debut album, Where Hatred Dwells and Darkness Reigns, opened the doors of the asylum in 2017, introducing the terrifying concept and gruesome characters within. Four years later and featuring 10 new tracks of powerful, cinematic and mesmerizing symphonic extreme metal, ZORNHEYM's upcoming album picks up where they left off, inviting the listener on a distracting journey, straight into the depths of the asylum! Once again, ZORNHEYM create their very own wall of sound by using a real choir and a string quartet and bring the story to life in a graphic novel that accompanies and expands upon the stories behind the album!

In support of the new full-length record, ZORNHEYM just unleashed a brand new music video for the track "Keep The Devil Away", streaming here:

"The crushing, mid-tempo song, ”Keep the Devil Away” is your first invitation to "The Zornheim Sleep Experiment". This melodic yet heavy song takes us deeper into the story of what cruel and unusual treatment the inmates face within the walls of the terrifying asylum behind Zornheym's concept. Prepare for an aural assault of orchestration and devastating metal riffs that could leave you questioning your sanity." the band comments.

The Zornheim Sleep Experiment will be coming out October 22nd on Noble Demon and is now available for pre-order at THIS LOCATION
