Orbit Culture Releases New Album “Death Above Life”
Orbit Culture, the formidable Swedish metal band, recently unveiled their latest album, Death Above Life, on the 3rd of October. This ten-track LP had already piqued the interest of Metal Hammer in the UK, Kerrang!, and Metal Hammer and Rock Hard in Germany before it even hit the shelves. Metal Hammer UK described it as a powerful album, emphasizing that Orbit Culture should be considered as a rising star in heavy music, drawing parallels to iconic bands like Lamb Of God and Machine Head.
Before the album’s official release, Orbit Culture had already released “Bloodhound,” a focus track that was accompanied by a music video with horror film influences on the 2nd of October. The band shared that this album signifies a fresh start, embodying significant changes that evoke both positive and negative emotions, symbolizing a rebirth. The song “Bloodhound” stands out as one of the band’s angriest creations to date, reflecting a new level of intensity and raw emotion. The track, with its primal energy, compelled the band to push boundaries and allow their fury to be heard.
Explaining the creation of “Bloodhound,” the band revealed that the lyrics poured out rapidly, tapping into a wellspring of untamed aggression and bitterness. Uncharacteristically, the band delved into explicit language to capture the sheer force of the music. The song delves into themes of anger towards individuals, situations, and an exploitative industry. It’s a lament about the cycle of vengeance, acceptance, and the unchanging nature of reality. “Bloodhound” becomes a statement of empowerment, reclaiming one’s voice, power, and worth, calling out manipulators and demanding respect.
Orbit Culture’s Death Above Life showcases the band at their most refined and poised state yet, with a lineup of tracks that promise to captivate listeners. The tracklist includes titles like “Inferna,” “The Tales Of War,” and “Neural Collapse,” promising a diverse and powerful listening experience for fans.
