Nija
SEEK & STRIKE
Eclectic Swedish metallers forge a thrilling, therapeutic whole
Orbit Culture seriously consider their sonic options
AFTER BEING AROUND for the majority of the last decade, and with a couple of decent albums under their belt, eclectic Swedish metallers Orbit Culture have really dug deep to make their third album the best of their career. Nija was, by all accounts, inspired by vocalist/guitarist Niklas Karlsson’s crippling OCD issues, which makes sense when listening here, as it’s tightly packed and methodically crammed full of almost every strand of metal. It’s almost as if Niklas felt compelled to compartmentalise all of the glory of our beloved genre in a mere 44 minutes.
