Melodic Death Metal
ORBIT CULTURE burst out of the underground scene with the release of 2020’s Nija album, which garnered worldwide critical acclaim from critics and metal fans alike. Their latest release, Shaman, sees them further expand upon their dynamic sound, developing a propulsive blend of metallic brilliance. While rooted in the classic Swedish metal genre paved by greats such as At The Gates, In Flames, and Meshuggah, they creatively expand upon it to create a more evolved, modernized sound that is simply undeniable. Shaman delivers on all fronts and showcases the band’s seamless efforts to effectively blend aggression, melody, and technicality. The band states: "When it comes to the music, Shaman has a bit more flow to be executed more in a live setting, which was one of the goals creating it. We have some songs on Nija that we’d like to play live, but some of them just don't quite translate as well as we want them to when we play them. We want to be a band able to run around the stage and invite people to the show and connect that way, rather than standing in one place and sweating over weird guitar patterns and whatnot. We think that’s the major difference between Nija to Shaman. We want people to be blown away live and the songs on this EP are constructed for that. Of course, you’ll get what you expect from us, heavy and fast guitars combined with low-tuned drops followed up by sing-along choruses with an exotic twist."
