Swedish Metallers ORBIT CULTURE will release a new album, “Death Above Life”, on October 3rd via Century Media Records.
“The album represents change, a new beginning”, says ORBIT CULTURE 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.”
After braving a storm with the first single “The Tales Of War”, ORBIT CULTURE is taking a bold step out of debilitating twilight with the next single “Death Above Life”. Yet again the video was produced by Riivata Visuals and can be viewed below.
ORBIT CULTURE comments: “Our next song is the title track of the album, ‘Death Above Life’. While the first single, ‘The Tales Of War’, acted as a bridge to the next chapter, this one kicks the doors wide open. It’s darker, heavier, and leans into a more horror-driven side of ORBIT CULTURE.”

The band continues: “Lyrically, it reflects a choice: When faced with the idea of continuing down a path surrounded by the wrong people, we sometimes know that we have to cut ties. It is not literally about choosing death but walking away from what is holding us back. ‘Death Above Life’ is about letting go of what no longer fits to make space for something real. It will see the light of day for the very first time at (U.K.’s) Download festival.”
The announcement of “Death Above Life” begins as ORBIT CULTURE are coming of their successful live campaign as the featured guest on the Poisoned Ascendancy EU/UK tour supporting TRIVIUM and BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE. En route to the October release of “Death Above Life”, ORBIT CULTURE are currently out on a run of summer dates spanning festival plays and supporting dates with IN FLAMES.
