Oro’s Vid Vägs Ände arrives on Digipak CD as a stark, immersive statement from the Swedish post-metal quintet.

The Swedish word "oro" is an ambiguous term, encompassing anxiety, unrest and several similar words.
Their second full-length expands the band’s hewn-from-granite blend of sludge, doom and atmospheric weight into five sweeping movements—“Arvet & Tystnaden,” “Vid Vägs Ände,” “Bältad,” “Siare,” and “Treriksröset”—that move from towering riffs to meditative stillness with cinematic control. Tracked in Örebro during 2022 and produced with Jakob Linnér, the album’s dynamic depth is sealed by Tony Lindgren’s mastering at Fascination Street, delivering a mix that stays massive at high volume yet reveals detail in the quietest passages. Issued by Hammerheart Records on December 1, 2023, this edition features sturdy Digipak packaging and a concise 41-minute runtime that rewards repeat listening for fans of expansive, emotionally charged heaviness.
