Our second band at the big rock show down at MTelus a few days back was one of Sweden's hotest Death Metal bands at the moment, Orbit Culture. While speaking with a couple of fans before the show began, the most common statement I heard was that other than the headliner, most of them were here for this set by Orbit Culture. They certainly had a very productive year in 2023. In August they released their 4th album, 'Descent', which was met with rave reviews by the fans that I talked to. That was followed up in December by their 4th EP, 'The Forgotten', which feature a new song and two unused songs from the 'Decent' recording sessions. The good news continued into this year as back in Janurary, Orbit Culture announced that they had signed a new recording contract with Century Music Records, one of the very
top record labels when it comes to the world of Heavy Metal. On stage, Orbit Culture lived up to all of the pre-show hype that I had heard. The only mistake made was by comparing the noise made by the crowd to that of the crowd from Toronto. One does not mention Toronto here withing unleashing a barrage of jeers, though they managed to use that to their advantage as well. Using that extra bit of audience aggression to call for a Wall of Death. Not the last one that I would see on the evening. Orbit Culture's performance was flawless. But, with the year they are having and everything I had heard, I suppose that anything less would have been disappointing. The first photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/800sec, ISO 6400 at 24mm and the second photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/500sec, ISO 6400 at 70mm. Here are several more photographs that I took of Orbit Culture's performance.
