ORBIT CULTURE - DEATH ABOVE LIFE (Colored Vinyl, Maroon, Gatefold LP Jacket, 2LP)

Double maroon colored vinyl LP pressing. 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.

RMFN Notes:

"Orbit Culture has officially taken over the metal scene. Their first album on a major label, Death Above Life is a massive sounding record that is a strong candidate of AOTY. These guys' creativity constantly blows me away and it amazes me how many fresh ideas they come up with. There are plenty of hooks in these songs, but there is zero heaviness compromised in the process. Instead, you have an incredibly memorable metal album that pushes boundaries. Throw Metalcore, Thrash, Industrial, Groove, and Melodic Death Metal into a blender and you have Orbit Culture. BRILLIANT!" - Chris
