If you keep up to date on the state of death metal, you’ll at the very least have heard of Orbit Culture. Although the Swedish crew formed as far back as 2013, they truly started to shake up the scene during the pandemic, when the groove/melodeath blasts of third album Nija hit hard enough to wobble fillings and shatter glasses. The band have capitalised gloriously on that impact since live music’s revival, touring with such stars as In Flames, Trivium and Machine Head.
Tonight, however, isn’t about Orbit Culture continuing their campaign of growth. It’s the four-piece’s first-ever headline London show, as part of their first-ever headline tour, and in front of a sold-out Underworld they’ll indulge in the fruits of their labour thus far.
