After releasing three cinematic performance videos Sweden’s ORBIT CULTURE have another special audio-visual treat up their sleeves: an elaborate visualizer created by the 3D wizards at Crystal Spotlight for their new single, “Nerve”, that is taking you straight to another dark dimension.
The band comments: “With ‘Nerve,’ we’re leaning back towards the older ORBIT CULTURE sound, blending in cleaner choruses and a twist at the end. This track has been with us for years—we just didn’t know what to do with it, especially since the verses felt a bit uncharacteristic for us. But that’s exactly what we ended up loving about it. Visually, the song felt too ‘larger-than-life’ for a standard performance video. After years of bouncing ideas with Miles Skarin at Crystal Spotlight, we knew this was the perfect track to bring into a fully realized 3D world.”
“Nerve” is the fourth single taken from “Death Above Life”, that is scheduled for a release on October 3rd through Century Media Records. ”The album represents change, a new beginning,” says guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Niklas Karlsson. “It brings up a lot of good and bad emotions but it’s a big change for the better. It feels like a rebirth.”

Hailing from the small town of Eksjö, Sweden (located between the revered metal cities of Gothenburg and Stockholm), the quartet (guitarist and vocalist Niklas Karlsson, guitarist Richard Hansson, bassist Fredrik Lennartsson and drummer Christopher Wallerstedt) have grown into a global force, melding together riffs that are equal parts Thrash, Death Metal and Industrial with arresting hooks and a layered atmosphere that invites comparison to GOJIRA, METALLICA and STATIC-X while carving out something that is uniquely their own.
ORBIT CULTURE’s 2023 album “Descent” and their subsequent EP release “The Forgotten” topped many year-end lists in 2023, including Metal Hammer who described the album as: “a formidable entwining of modern metal’s most effective and exciting strands into an impressive milestone.” Exhaustive worldwide touring and a steady stream of crowd-pummeling festival slots across the globe, have set the stage for something much larger.
ORBIT CULTURE are a band poised. They are the sound of metal in the most modern sense.
