Rising hard rock outfit S.O.R.M has just dropped a powerful new single, featuring legendary Doug Blair of W.A.S.P. The track, titled "Under My Skin", showcases the band's signature blend of contemporary and traditional heavy music, with a touch of power ballad magic.
"I am very proud of a collaboration that began already 2 years ago, when Micke Holm asked if I'd contribute a lead to a track being recorded by his band S.O.R.M", says Doug Blair.
"I'd met Micke a while after he purchased the very last unsold 1990s BLAIR MUTANT TWIN double neck acoustic/electric guitar, which I delivered to his colleague in Stockholm. We've performed together quite a few times since then, in Sweden and Finland, as a duo and with the S.O.R.M Band. It's been great to know the guys, and be involved a bit in their growth!"
He continues:
"Cautiously agreeing to take a listen to a song (always being naturally skeptical), 'Under My Skin' enthralled on first listen! Micke's vocal delivery, the lyrics and dynamics of the arrangement all made me PUMPED UP to craft something cool for the emotional solo section. Last year, we finally found time to meet and mix the song in Stockholm - as I had requested (and demoed) a few effective overall arrangement/dynamics ideas, which I thought would improve the results! If you enjoy my leads on "Heaven's Hung", "Miss You", etc., you WILL enjoy this song and lead! Give these guys a listen, and soon l'll announce an upcoming appearance with Micke again!"
