{"product_id":"orbit-culture-death-above-life-deluxe-edition","title":"Orbit Culture - Death Above Life (Deluxe Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFew bands in heavy music have seen a similar, stellar rise in the past year as \u003cstrong\u003eORBIT CULTURE\u003c\/strong\u003e. The Swedish quartet’s \u003cem\u003e“Death Above Life”\u003c\/em\u003e is not merely a statement of how far the band has come, but it is the sound of metal in the most modern sense. ”This record represents change, a new beginning,” says ORBIT CULTURE guitarist, vocalist and songwriter, \u003cstrong\u003eNiklas Karlsson\u003c\/strong\u003e. Produced by the band and mixed by Buster Odeholm (Humanity’s Last Breath, Vildhjarta, Thrown), \u003cem\u003e“Death Above Life”\u003c\/em\u003e is a statement for metal: its present and future. It’s also a crucial next step for ORBIT CULTURE as they continue to define themselves and metal, as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAside from their DIY ethos and their uncompromising, disturbing dark-on-dark visuals Karlsson credits his love for soundtracks and cinematic soundscapes for fleshing out ORBIT CULTURE’s sound and vision. Composers including \u003cstrong\u003eHans Zimmer\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eDune, Interstellar\u003c\/em\u003e) and \u003cstrong\u003eHoward Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eLord of the Rings\u003c\/em\u003e) have become a huge influence on the band. “So much more than any metal being written today,” Niklas states. “Every one of us would rather listen to the \u003cem\u003e‘Inception’\u003c\/em\u003e soundtrack. It’s timeless. When I get stuck writing, those tools and inspiration are there, whether it is cellos or pianos which add texture. We write very easy riffs and structures, so turning to someone like Hans Zimmer leads us to taking the ending of a songs like \u003cem\u003e‘Inferna’\u003c\/em\u003e and making the final chorus bigger and more cinematic.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003e“Death Above Life (Deluxe Edition)”\u003c\/em\u003e is further exploring the cinematic idea adding two previously unreleased tracks as well as their Japanese bonus track \u003cem\u003e“Nuclear God”\u003c\/em\u003e and a very special version of the heartbreaking closing track: \u003cem\u003e“The Path I Walk feat. Tina Guo”\u003c\/em\u003e. Both physical editions, the Ltd. Deluxe transp. sea blue-golden yellow splattered 2LP Artbook and the Ltd. 2CD Mediabook will come with extended 40 pages booklets that are looking back on the past 1,5 years and are allowing for intimate behind-the-scenes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Century Media Records","offers":[{"title":"Deluxe Transparent Sea Blue-Golden Yellow Splattered 2LP Artbook","offer_id":59246337294681,"sku":"SDZ-51405","price":77.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2CD Mediabook","offer_id":59246337327449,"sku":"SDZ-51406","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/6a63497f87e2445962382fbd.jpg?v=1788170879","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/orbit-culture-death-above-life-deluxe-edition","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
