Orbit Culture is a Swedish melodic death metal band from Eksjö, formed in 2013 by vocalist and guitarist Niklas Karlsson. Their 2020 album Nija broke them out of the underground, and the follow-up Descent (2023) landed on numerous year-end lists. Signed to Century Media in January 2024, they released their fifth album Death Above Life in October 2025 and have since toured North America and Europe as headliners.
Orbit Culture are confirmed to support Amon Amarth on the 'Allfather Awakens' European and UK tour in autumn 2026, with dates including Gothenburg and Manchester.
The band announced a full North American headline tour for early 2026, running from February 18 to April 10 with support from Ov Sulfur and Atlas.
Orbit Culture released their fifth studio album Death Above Life on October 3, 2025, via Century Media Records, mixed by Swedish producer Buster Odeholm.
The band teased their new album with a cryptic Instagram post in late April 2025, followed by the release of lead single 'The Tales of War' on May 7.
Orbit Culture signed with Century Media Records in January 2024, marking a major step after years as an independent act.
