As they prepare to release their new album,\u00a0‘Death Above Life’<\/em> in October, Swediesh metallers\u00a0Orbit Culture<\/strong> have shared another track from the record.\u00a0‘Hydra’<\/em> sees the quartet ramp up the heaviness with a ferocious number.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith \u2018Hydra\u2019 we dove even deeper into the heavy tunings we explored on our previous single, ‘Death Above Life’,” <\/em>O<\/em>rbit Culture<\/strong> said. “Lyrically, it\u2019s a raw and unfiltered track about cutting ties – direct, honest, and uncompromising. The song was written during a period of intense stress and frustration and channeling that emotion onto paper felt like a necessary release.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Its accompanying video was produced by Industrialism Films, and takes inspiration from ‘Dune’<\/em>. With its wide, cinematic shots of the Californian desert and fiery nighttime performance shots, the video proves to be compelling.<\/p>\n

“Visually, we drew inspiration from the vast, cinematic atmosphere of the Dune films. That same sense of scale is echoed in the production – distorted, low-tuned cellos and thunderous drums that feel like something massive is coming,”<\/em> the band explained. “This is easily one of our most ambitious videos to date. We scouted the California desert to find the perfect location – no green screens, no tricks. What you see is real: just four Swedish guys sweating it out in the scorching desert heat.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Orbit Culture<\/strong>‘s new album, ‘Death Above Life,’<\/em> will be released on 3rd October via Century Media<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
