We can now listen to the fourth single from Orbit Culture's upcoming album Death Above Life, and we'll even get to see the new music video in a few hours. It follows the first singles “The Tales Of War,” the title track “Death Above Life,” and “Hydra.” Today, “Nerve” joins the lineup — but fortunately, the entire album will be released in just one month, on October 3, 2025.
Singer Niklas Karlsson talks about the inspiration for the writing process of this album as follows:
”This record represents change, a new beginning. It brings up a lot of good and bad emotions but it’s a big change for the better. It feels like a rebirth.
So much more than any metal being written today. Every one of us would rather listen to the ‘Inception’ soundtrack. It’s timeless. When I get stuck writing, those tools and inspiration are there, whether it’s cellos or pianos which adds texture. We write very easy riffs and structures, so turning to someone like Hans Zimmer leads us to taking the ending of a songs like ‘Inferna’ and making the final chorus bigger and more cinematic.”
