ORBIT CULTURE – new video released and major touring run

Tomorrow marks another milestone for Sweden’s ORBIT CULTURE. Not only are they gearing up for extensive touring across the UK, Europe, and North America, but they are also set to release “Death Above Life (Deluxe Edition)”, the director’s cut of their cinematic and highly successful latest studio album.

Today, the band unveils a very special collaboration with renowned cellist Tina Guo: the video for the emotional track “The Path I Walk (ft. Tina Guo),” created by their longtime creative partners, Riivata Visuals. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWYmIHU2CCI

The band shares: “We’ve always been a bit uneasy about bringing someone else into our music, but Tina Guo was the exception. Ever since we saw her perform in Stockholm in 2017, we’d joked about working with her one day. When the label suggested a guest for ‘The Path I Walk,’ we threw her name out, fully expecting nothing to come of it. Then our A&R, Mike Gitter, simply said, ‘I know her.’
We initially worked out her parts in MIDI using her own sample library, but hearing her actual performance was something else entirely. The emotion she brought completely changed the song and took it further than we’d imagined.
What stayed with us just as much was how kind and down to earth she was throughout the whole process. For someone with her talent and experience, there was no ego at all. We’re incredibly proud to have her on this song, and grateful that an idea we’d joked about for years actually happened.”

The creation of “Death Above Life (Deluxe Edition)” was a heartfelt undertaking for the band: “We’re proud to release the Deluxe Edition of ‘Death Above Life’ and finally share ‘Nuclear God,’ ‘Spiral Head’ and ‘The Form Not Meant To Be.’ It’s always exciting to put out songs that people haven’t heard yet, and we’re looking forward to seeing what everyone makes of these three.
We also wanted the physical release to be something people could spend time with. The 40-page Artbook and Mediabook give us more room to show the artwork and bring people further into the world of the record. We put a lot into ‘Death Above Life,’ both musically and visually, so it feels good to bring those parts together in this edition.

Thank you to everyone who has listened to the album, picked up a copy or come out to hear these songs live. It means a lot to us, and we’re excited to share more with you.”

Hailing from the small town of Eksjö, Sweden, situated between the renowned metal hubs of Gothenburg and Stockholm, the quartet of guitarist and vocalist Niklas Karlsson, guitarist Richard Hansson, bassist Fredrik Lennartsson, and drummer Christopher Wallerstedt has evolved into a global force. Blending thrash, death metal, and industrial influences, the band combines crushing riffs with unforgettable hooks and a richly layered atmosphere. While inviting comparisons to Gojira, Metallica, and Static-X, ORBIT CULTURE continue to forge a sound that is unmistakably their own.
ORBIT CULTURE are the sound of modern metal at its most powerful and forward-thinking.
