ORBIT CULTURE Announce New Album ‘Death Above Life’, Drop Dark & Heavy Title Track

Swedish groove/death metal force Orbit Culture have unleashed “Death Above Life”, the crushing title track from their newly announced studio album. That upcoming record is set to arrive October 3rd via Century Media Records, and is now available for pre-order.

The accompanying music video—once again directed by Riivata Visuals—dives deep into the band’s darker and more horror-fueled aesthetic. In a collective statement, Orbit Culture explained the direction behind the new single:

“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.

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 Download Festival.”

Speaking on the album’s themes, vocalist/guitarist Niklas Karlsson added:

“The album represents change, a new beginning. It brings up a lot of good and bad emotions but it’s a big change for the better. It feels like a rebirth.”
