Swedish melodic death metal band Orbit Culture have announced a run of UK tour dates for November 2025.
Following their triumphant main stage set at Download Festival, Orbit Culture return to the UK this November on the ‘Death Above Life’ tour, in support of their new album ‘Death Above Life’, due for release on 3rd October 2025 via Century Media.
”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.”
Hailing from the small town of Eksjö, Sweden (located between the revered metal cities of Gothenburg and Stockholm), the quartet (guitarist and vocalist Niklas Karlsson, guitarist Richard Hansson, bassist Fredrik Lennartsson and drummer Christopher Wallerstedt) have grown into a global force, melding together riffs that are equal parts thrash, death metal and industrial with arresting hooks and a layered atmosphere that invites comparison to Gojira, Metallica and Static-X while carving out something that is uniquely their own.
Orbit Culture’s 2023 album Descent and their subsequent EP release The Forgotten topped many year-end lists in 2023, including Metal Hammer who described the album as: “a formidable entwining of modern metal’s most effective and exciting strands into an impressive milestone.” Exhaustive worldwide touring and a steady stream of crowd-pummelling festival slots across the globe, have set the stage for something much larger.
Orbit Culture are a band poised. They are the sound of metal in the most modern sense.
Tickets go on sale at 9AM on Friday 20th June.
