Anders “LA“ Rönnblom, best known as the founder / songwriter for KILLER BEE and X-ROMANCE, and a member of WOLFPAKK, has just recently launched his new project dubbed SOCIAL DISORDER. The band’s debut album, entitled Love 2 Be Hated, will be seeing the light of day on June 18th, 2021 through AFM Records.
But Rönnblom didn’t take this journey on his own, however, chosing to enlist the help of a who’s-who of rock and metal greats, many of whom he has a personal connection to including Tracii Guns (GUNS N’ ROSES, L.A. Guns), Rudy Sarzo (QUIET RIOT, OZZY OSBOURNE, WHITESNAKE), Jeff Duncan (Armored Saint), Dave Stone (RAINBOW), Snowy Shaw (KING DIAMOND, DREAM EVIL, MERCYFUL FATE), Shawn Duncan (DC4) and Leif Ehlin (Perfect Plan). SOCIAL DISORDER‘s voice is provided by Thomas Nordin, a previously undiscovered Swedish singer who delivers Rönnblom‘s songs with power and grit that perfectly captures the era of classic no-nonsense rock!
“The struggle to get back on your feet.. the lack of trust, people misjudging your true character. Don’t be afraid and let your past be the reason for not taking control and changing your life around.. who said it would be easy!?“ Says band mastermind Rönnblom about new track “Love 2 Be Hated“. Check out the video below:
Love 2 Be Hated was produced by Anders LA Rönnblom and mixed by Mårten Eriksson at Fanclub Production in Stockholm, Sweden. The album was mastered by Svante Forsbäck at Chartmakers Audio Mastering in Finland (Rammstein, Entombed, Volbeat, Amaranthe).
According to Rönnblom, SOCIAL DISORDERwas never planned to be what it turned out to be. As he got deeper into the songwriting he contacted Tracii Guns, Rudy Sarzo and Killer Bee bandmate Shawn Duncan about taking part in the recordings. Even though they are his songs and it’s his story, Love 2 Be Hated is a team effort, with everyone involved adding their own touch and spice to the songs. In fact, it was important for Rönnblom that everyone involved put themselves into each song.
While Rönnblom also wrote the lyrics to capture the events of his life in music, Love 2 Be Hated is not and should not be regarded as a concept album. The goal was to have his story touch people and give the listener something they can relate to.
“The lyrics are open to interpretation,” says Rönnblom. “This is my story, sure, but if that story draws people in and makes them say ‘Hey, this could be me…’ and they take away something inspirational or positive from these songs I couldn’t be happier.”

I love metal music. I play drums in a local band. I have big interests in IT, science and books.
