The track opens with ominous tension before erupting into a wall of tight, palm-muted riffing and thunderous percussion. Niklas Karlsson’s vocals alternate between hellish roars and clean, melancholic melodies, adding emotional depth without sacrificing intensity. The chorus — massive, haunting, and memorable — feels like the eye of a storm in an otherwise relentless assault.
Lyrically, Death Above Life explores themes of futility, war, and the fragility of existence, delivered with a conviction that reflects the band’s ever-maturing songwriting. Orbit Culture doesn’t just write heavy music — they write meaningful heavy music, each song sounding like a battle cry from a collapsing world.
With pristine production, ferocious musicianship, and vision that reaches beyond genre constraints, Death Above Life stands as one of Orbit Culture’s most powerful releases to date — a dark anthem for those standing at the edge of the void.
Released today, June 10, 2025, both the single and its accompanying video serve as the bold title track for their upcoming fifth studio album, also titled Death Above Life. Set to unleash on October 3, 2025, through Century Media Records, this album marks Orbit Culture’s debut with the label.
