Orbit Culture: firmano con Century Media Records
Comunicato stampa:
Century Media Records è orgogliosa di annunciare la firma degli svedesi ORBIT CULTURE! Proveniente dalla piccola città di Eksjö in Svezia (situata tra le venerate capitali del metal scandinavo Göteborg e Stoccolma), il quartetto formato dal chitarrista e cantante Niklas Karlsson, dal chitarrista Richard Hansson, dal bassista Fredrik Lennartsson e dal batterista Christopher Wallerstedt è cresciuto guadagnandosi fama a livello mondiale, con il proprio unico mix di thrash, death metal e industrial. La musica densamente stratificata della band richiama gruppi leggendari come Metallica, Gojira e Static-X.
Il commento della band:
“Century Media è la casa di alcune delle più grandi metal band odierne e non potremmo essere più felici di far parte del loro roster. Non vediamo l’ora di farvi sentire nuova musica e di lavorare a stretto contatto con questo fantastico team!”
Il commendo del label manager dell’etichetta Philipp Schulte:
“Guardare l’ascesa di ORBIT CULTURE e diventare una delle più grandi nuove metal band in circolazione e ora lavorare con loro è decisamente stimolante. Sono personalmente personalmente stato un fan sin dall’inizio. Fanno parte sia del metal che del futuro di Century Media.”
Gli ORBIT CULTURE saranno in Italia per un’unica data il 19 marzo 2024 presso Santeria di Milano.
ORBIT CULTURE’s 2023 album, Descent and its subsequent EP release, The Forgotten topped many recent year-end lists including Metal Hammer who described the album as: “a formidable entwining of modern metal’s most effective and exciting strands into an impressive milestone.” Exhaustive worldwide touring and a steady stream of crowd-pummeling festival slots across the globe, have set the stage for something much larger.
Before initiating work on their next LP and Century Media debut, ORBIT CULTURE will tour North America with legendary metal acts, Machine Head and Fear Factory as well as newcomers Gates to Hell on the “Slaughter The Martour” tour. The US and Canadian run will continue the Swedish band’s exhaustive work in the territory which has included tours with In Flames and Avatar and won ORBIT CULTURE a rabid fan-base and high placement on Sirius XM’s Liquid Metal “Devil’s Dozen” year-end chart. At the time of this announcement, the band is #1 on Sirius CM’s Liquid Metal Following the U.S. tour, ORBIT CULTURE will then embark on an extensive tour of Europe, fittingly titled, the “Descending Into Madness” tour.
“We are beyond excited to be working with ORBIT CULTURE and their team at 5B (Management),” adds Mike Gitter, Century Media Vice President of A&R, North America. “They’ve carved an indelible mark on the worldwide metal scene through vision, determination, and hard work. They’re not merely a band leading the charge for extreme music right now – they’re a band that will lead that charge for many years to come.”
