ORBIT CULTURE Unleash Third Single “Hydra” from Upcoming Album ‘Death Above Life’

Swedish groove/death metal force ORBIT CULTURE have unveiled the official music video for their punishing new single “Hydra”, which premiered online this morning (July 29th). The track serves as the third single from the band’s forthcoming full-length Death Above Life, due out October 3rd via Century Media.

The visual, directed by Vicente Cordero (Cradle Of Filth, Hollywood Undead), finds the band performing in a vast, scorched desert landscape — a setting they selected with purpose. In a statement, Orbit Culture shared:

“With ‘Hydra,’ we dove even deeper into the heavy tunings we explored on our previous single, ‘Death Above Life.’ Lyrically, it’s a raw and unfiltered track about cutting ties — direct, honest, and uncompromising. The song was written during a period of intense stress and frustration and channeling that emotion onto paper felt like a necessary release.

Visually, we drew inspiration from the vast, cinematic atmosphere of the ‘Dune’ films. That same sense of scale is echoed in the production — distorted, low-tuned cellos, and thunderous drums that feel like something massive is coming. This is easily one of our most ambitious videos to date. We scouted the California desert to find the perfect location — no green screens, no tricks. What you see is real: Just four Swedish guys sweating it out in the scorching desert heat.”
