Nor? were founded in 2013 in Odense in the southern region of Denmark. The ambition was to create groove metal with progressive elements and inspiration from the Nordic folk music tradition.
Within a year the band had written a full set and started playing live gigs. The audience had a very positive response to the band's music and performance.

In 2016 the recordings for the debut EP 'Alpha' began at Molten Rock Studio in Odense with producer Jesper Egeskov Sommerby.

In 2017 drummer Rune Kolsbjerg Hansen joined the band, after the departure of Magnus Elisson, and played his first gig with the band at the release party for 'Alpha'.

Released in March 2017 on the Finnish label Inverse Records, the lead single of 'Alpha'; 'Rosehip Garden' received airplay in several countries, including The United States, Australia, The Netherlands, Italy and Spain. 'Alpha' also received some very fine reviews both in Denmark and internationally.

Since the release of 'Alpha', the band have had a very busy live schedule.
