Album-oriented rock (abbreviated AOR) is an American FM radio format focusing on album tracks by rock artists. AOR evolved from progressive rock radio in the mid-1970s, using research and formal programming to create an album rock format with greater commercial appeal.
For fans of (early) In Flames, Thyrfing, Moonsorrow SVARTSOT are set to release their sixth – and probably last traditional – album in September. 2025 is also the band’s 20th anniversary year.
