Formed in 1986, SORCERY were one of the pioneering bands of the Swedish Death Metal scene. After releasing a first demo with strong Thrash influences in 1987, the band quickly developed the sound that would help define Swedish Death Metal by the end of the decade. Following three demos, they released the EP “Rivers of the Dead / The Rite of Sacrifice” in 1990, followed a year later by their acclaimed debut album “Bloodchilling Tales”, which has since become a true classic of the genre.

After numerous line-up changes, the band entered a lengthy hiatus in 1997 before finally reuniting in 2009. Their second era began with “Arrival at Six” (2013), a comeback that was enthusiastically received by both critics and fans. It was followed by “Garden of Bones” (2016) and “Necessary Excess of Violence” (2019), once again establishing SORCERY as one of the most respected names in Swedish Death Metal.

After several more line-up changes over the years, the band has enjoyed a stable line-up since 2024, led by founding members Ola Malmström (vocals) and Paul Johansson (guitar), alongside Johan Vikholm (guitar), Tommy Holmer (drums) and Mikael Carlsson (bass). In 2026, SORCERY celebrates its 40th anniversary with the release of its fifth studio album, “The Immaculate Sin”, which will be supported by a commemorative European tour. Cover artwork was once again made by genius Juanjo Castellano.

With “The Immaculate Sin”, SORCERY once again proves that their inspiration remains as strong as ever, four decades after the band’s formation. The new album marks another significant milestone in the career of a band that has remained true to its roots while continuing to evolve, and will be accompanied by a European tour celebrating both the new release and forty years of uncompromising Swedish Death Metal.
