The post-metal/sludge quintet ORO first formed in 2014 in the Swedish city of Örebro, surrounded by forests, in the shadows of the Kilsbergen mountains. The band decided, right at the start, that they would write always in their native Swedish, allowing them to speak with untarnished integrity and retain the purity of the emotions they wished to express – and this is something they have held true to to this day.

After four demos they released their debut album, Djupets Kall, in the spring of 2019 through the Endless Winter label. Djupets Kall received critical acclaim from around the metal world, including a prestigious 14/15 review in giant German magazine Legacy. A huge amount of work has gone into making sure that ORO surpassed Djupets Kall with their second album – and with Vid Vägs Ände that goal has been unequivocally achieved in every way. The album was released by Hammheart Records in December 2023, and have since then received tons of great reviews world wide.
