Ohmwork was formed in Tromsø in the fall of 2012. The current lineup consists of:
Anders L. Rasmussen – vocals and guitars
Helge Nyrud – bass
Eirik Dahl – drums
Ohmwork has toured frequently since 2013. This includes festival performances abroad, as well as touring as a support act for Jorn.
Ohmwork entered the studio in January 2026 with Yngvar Mehus (of ShadowTech, Alyssa Drone and HorrorWorks) behind the controls. Ex Nihilo (LP and digital) will be released on September 18, 2026. The artwork was created by Hypnotist Design (known for work with Kal-El, Saint Karloff, and Domkraft, among others).
Ohmwork has released six albums, ranging from Storm Season (2014) to In Hindsight (2023). The band is signed to Rob Mules Records.

«The last, but not the least, comes the grand finale, the seven minute “Adrift” which goes intothatmoody 1970’s songs inspired on Led Zeppelin. A song wherethe tension goes in crescendoto burstinto some tight guitars. Masterpiece, I tell you.»
