Orbit Culture is a band poised. The Swedish quartet's Century Media debut, "Death Above Life", is not merely a statement of how far the band has come, but it is the sound of metal in the most modern sense. "This record 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." From the album's scorching opener, "Inferna" to it's clench-fisted title track to the elegiac closer, "The Path I Walk", It's clear: Orbit Culture is at the top of their game.
