STRÖM, the Swedish band known for its energetic rock riffs and strong melodies, is ready to power up its discography with its third studio album Mer Ström Åt Folket. The record will be released on October 2, 2026 via Black Lodge Records/Sound Pollution and marks the start of a new, more uncompromising phase for the group.
Since their inception, STRÖM has built a strong reputation with intense live performances, a raw sound, and clear songwriting ability. With the new album, the band is described as having reached its most confident and powerful form so far – heavier, more direct, and full of energy. They themselves claim that Mer Ström Åt Folket is their strongest material to date, and this is clearly evident in the first single, Det Säger Boom !
Relentless Sound and Emotional Depth
The first single, Det Säger Boom !, now available on all digital platforms, captures the album's new direction. With heavier riffs, booming rhythms, and an outgoing attitude, the song sets the standard for the rest of the album. The band describes the track as an unusually heavy and dark interpretation of the happiness theme – happiness and love presented in a way that stands out both sonically and structurally.
Mer Ström Åt Folket was recorded in Tilt Studio in Strömstad. The powerful and organic feel that pervades the album was further shaped by mixing professional Johan Forsman Löwenström, known for collaborations with The Soundtrack of Our Lives and Håkan Hellström. His hallmark is evident in the production's balance and explosiveness, where the band's dynamics are fully showcased.
Among the evidence of STRÖM's development is also their active live routine. The band has previously shared the stage and toured with some of Sweden's top rock names such as Thundermother, Royal Republic, HammerFall, and Nestor. In the fall of 2025, STRÖM joined Nestor on an extensive tour of Germany, which gave the band a significant boost in the European rock scene.
With Mer Ström Åt Folket, it is clear that STRÖM is aiming for new heights both at home in Sweden and across Europe. Fans can expect everything that has made the band popular – pulsing energy, straightforward lyrics, and loyalty to their signature sound – but now with even greater weight and maturity.
Det Säger Boom ! is already available to listen to via digital services. The full album Mer Ström Åt Folket will be released on October 2, 2026 on Black Lodge Records/Sound Pollution.
