ABOUT
ACORISE (pronounced A-kuh-RYZ) is a Swedish rock band from Malmö that was founded by the singer/guitarist Malin Dahlström. ACORISE went through many member changes before releasing their debut album Too Much Of You on May 10, 2022.
In 2024, they had a Belgium tour and part from that they have played on everything from big stages such as the Malmö Festival to smaller stages around Sweden.
In 2018, guitarist/singer Malin Dahlström started playing blues riffs to backing tracks on YouTube. Very quickly, she found her own style that she has stuck to and developed over the years. Soon the idea and dream of starting her own rock band and writing her own songs arose. Eventually she started her rock band, which at that time had no name. Cats N Dogs was written in 2018 by Malin and it officially became ACORISE's first song.
Their first studio, of 22 sqm, was located at Norbergsgatan 24 in Malmö. There were many hours and late nights spent there. The name "ACORISE" did not appear until August 2020 and is a made-up word.
In October, ACORISE began recording their first album and in May 2022, Too Much Of You was released which was recorded in their studio. On March 17, 2023, they released their first single 1000 Volts which contains the songs 1000 Volts and Lawbreaker. Shortly thereafter, they released their first EP It's A Godforsaken Place on August 11, 2023.
ACORISE style of music is straight and energetic 70/80s rock with only self-composed songs. Their live performances captivate the audience from the first chords. Malin who sings with her characteristic voice and with her moves while she plays her solos!
Here are some of the many comments on social media:
"Bon Scott och Suzi Quatro fick ett kärleksbarn och det blev Malin!"
"It was an amazing show"
"Coolaste och vassaste rocksångerskan"
"Ett riktigt bra gig. Förra gången jag hörde något liknande var 1976 när AC/DC var förband till Black Sabbath på Olympen med Bon Scott som sångare."
Malin has won two times for "best stage presence" 2022 and 2023!
Malin "MalinD" Dahlström (born 22 February 1999) is a Swedish musician. She's known as the founder, lead guitarist, lead vocalist and songwriter of the rock band ACORISE. She's also known for her charismatic stage performance and her checkered pants.
Malin was born on 22 February 1999 in Malmö, Sweden. Her father is Hungarian (1965-) and her mother is Swedish (1965-). She has two sisters, Viktoria (1996-) and Alicia (2002-)
Music has always been part of family life. Her father is very musical, he used to play the accordion which he taught Malin and her sisters. Soon they started playing the flute instead and since then the flute has been Malins main instrument. In her early teens, she taught herself to play the piano and at the age of 19 she even taught herself to play the electric guitar.
Malins first guitar was a cheap Harley Benton, Les Paul with a Sunburst colour. She says that "The Harley Benton plays really well, it's a good quality guitar but I had to buy a new one. A lighter one that's not as back-heavy. So I bought an SG."
She then bought a Cherry coloured Epiphone, SG and after a while she upgraded herself to a Gibson SGJ with a Transparent white colour and cried out loud "Oh my god, this will be my guitar forever!"
As a child Malin had trouble writing and handling a pair of scissors and that's how she discovered she was left handed. However, she has learned in her later years to write with her right hand as well, which makes her ambidextrous.
