Hailing from the hallowed city that birthed classic death metal acts such as Entombed, Dismember and Unleashed, Stockholm, Sweden’s Xorsist stand firm as torchbearers of the city’s enduring death metal legacy. Since their formation, the band have forged a sound deeply rooted in the raw, uncompromising tradition of old school Swedish death metal while steadily sharpening their own identity within the genre. Following their self-released debut album Deadly Possession in 2022 and their second full-length At the Somber Steps of Serenity in 2023, Xorsist built a formidable track record that earned them a growing reputation within the Swedish underground and beyond. Founded by Gustav Ryderfelt (vocals and guitar) and later solidified with Birk Castenmalm (vocals and bass) and Alphonse Bouquelon (drums), the band’s core sound balances deep reverence for tradition with a focused drive toward progression. Now signed to Hammerheart Records, Xorsist prepare to unleash their third album called Aberrations, slated for release in April 2026. While their earlier recordings honored the path that defined the classic Stockholm sound, Aberrations marks a decisive step forward, eclipsing everything that came before it and presenting a clearer, more defined expression of the band’s musical vision. With this new chapter, Xorsist continue to carry the Swedish death metal torch into darker territory! Line up:
