ORBIT CULTURE return from the frozen north with a new album and their first with Century Media Records that is aptly titled “Death Above life”. It is due for a release on October 3rd, 2025.
”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.”
After braving a storm with the first single “The Tales Of War” ORBIT CULTURE are taking a bold step out of debilitating twilight with the next single “Death Above Life”. Yet again the video was produced by Riivata Visuals.
The band 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. 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.”

1. Inferna
