We sat down with Niklas Karlsson, lead vocalist of Swedish heavyweights Orbit Culture, to discuss their powerful new album Death Above Life. The band has been on a rapid rise, earning spots on major tours and festivals around the globe — and it’s no surprise why. With this record, Orbit Culture prove they’re carrying the torch for melodic death metal, keeping the genre’s roots alive while pushing its sound into bold, innovative territory.
Death Above Life also marks the band’s debut on Century Media Records, a major step forward that signals a new chapter in their career. In our conversation, Niklas reflected on the early days of the band, the influence of the late, great Ozzy Osbourne, and how his music shaped him in such a positive way. Nearly two decades into the genre’s evolution, Orbit Culture stand out as one of the most exciting acts driving melodic death metal into the future.
The new album Death Above Life drops October 3 via Century Media Records.
