ORBIT CULTURE DROP NEW SINGLE "HYDRA" FROM UPCOMING ALBUM DEATH ABOVE LIFE

Swedish melodic death metal unit Orbit Culture have dropped their third single, "Hydra," from the upcoming album Death Above Life, due out October 3 via Century Media Records. The track arrives alongside a gripping music video directed by Vicente Cordero.

The band shared the following about the new single and video:

“With ‘Hydra,’ we dove even deeper into the heavy tunings we explored on our previous single, ‘Death Above Life.’ Lyrically, it’s 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.

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. 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.”
