Gothenburg−based rock force Orkan returns with a storm. Today, they unleash “Ytan”−the powerful first single from their forthcoming album Vakendrömmar (Dreams You Dream While You’re Awake), due for release on August 28th via their newly founded label Blåsväder Records. With nearly 200 shows across Sweden and Europe under their belt, Orkan−Swedish for Hurricane−has become a name synonymous with raw energy and politically charged rock that resonates deeply with fans of the Swedish prog tradition. Their high−voltage live shows, swirling psychedelic riffs, and fierce lyrical honesty have established them as torchbearers of a sound that’s both rooted in history and fearlessly modern.
“Ytan” (translating to The Surface) sets the tone. It opens with a signature Orkan riff−gritty and hypnotic−then unfolds into a psychedelic shuffle that bends and breathes like a fever dream. Lyrically, the song explores deep exhaustion−the kind that pulls you under and makes you long for a world that feels just out of reach. As the track surges toward its finale, it blossoms into what can only be described as a rock symphony.
The upcoming album draws on the eerie essence of The Mare; a figure from Swedish folklore known to haunt sleepers by night, forcing them to relive the day’s traumas in paralyzing darkness. Vakendrömmar inhabits this haunting borderland between reality and dream, day and night, injustice and hope. From: https://femmusic.com/2025/06/05/orkan-ytan/
