Swedish melodic groove metal quartet Orbit Culture have just debuted their new single “Vultures Of North“. That song is complemented by the below music video, which was shot with Riivata Visuals. The track is a precursor to the group’s new full-length album, which will emerge in early 2023 via Seek & Strike.
Orbit Culture vocalist Niklas Karlsson had the following to say about this track:
“When it comes to the message and tone of the song ‘Vultures Of North‘, we’ve felt that we’ve been waiting for too long now to get out there and play due to the pandemi. During COVID, of course, our fanbase has grown very strong and under the same banner, the antlers emblem, we’ll head out there together stronger than ever before.
With this huge U.S. tour coming up, we felt that we’re going to head out there with a new fast and heavy song. With all the European dates this summer that have gone so well, it’s time to put in a higher gear with this new song into the frontline. The riffs and the instrumental side of this track was born out of just us wanting a song that just hammers through concrete, a simple 4/4 on the drums and just an angry ‘Sawish’ riff on top.”
