SEEK & STRIKE
Orbit Culture’s 2020 album, Nija, was ace. Their 2021 EP, Shaman, was even better. The Swedes followed form again with Descent, a formidable entwining of modern metal’s most effective and exciting strands into an impressive milestone. Incorporating massive grooves into their melodeath blueprint alongside huge choruses and a fearless sense of enterprise, it delivered some of 2023’s most exhilarating anthems.
