Lyrics:
Combust, the opulence of all the human faults in flames
You've killed, but you see yourself for real in here
The serpent
Black god
The north star of Nija
Don't cry, you'll see what you want to see
Charcoal crown, the leviathan of all the things we thought we heard
Of all there is to see
Don’t cry, you are here where you need to be
Don't cry, you’ll be the one that you need to kill
You'll follow me
To the somewhere between, in the darkest of nights
There's something to see, in the circles of the light
In the deepest of dreams, I can see the flash coming down on thee
Cause the weight of this world, now won't slow us down
But I don't know how long, so you better go now
Before I'll show you what's coming
Adjust the ornament, to fit the true king of our realm
You bow to a darker power that’s real in here
The serpent
The black god
The north star of Nija
I've lived through some grey days
But I've never really given it a thought
How I live, how it's feasting on me
How it's taking me
Don’t cry, you are here where you need to be
Don't cry, you’ll be the one that you need to kill
You'll follow me.
To the somewhere between, in the darkest of nights
There's something to see, in the circles of the light
In the deepest of dreams, I can see the flash coming down on thee
Cause the weight of this world, now won't slow us down
But I don't know how long, so you better go now
Before I'll show you what's coming
I'm the leader of all that's dead
I'm the crows that you witness next
I'm the leech that steals from the mother's breast
I'm the serpent in hell
Fighting, surviving for life
No one will ever see the truth
Leaving the world to die
No one will ever see the truth
Fighting, surviving for life
No one will ever see the truth
Leaving the world to die
No one will ever see the truth
You'll stay here for a long time
You'll dry your tears from off your face, but you can't look back now
You'll fade away
I'm the reason for all that's been
I'm the cross-bearer of all of human race
I'm the kingpin of all your hate
I'm the serpent in hell
I'm the serpent of all
A serpent of all
I've sent down the crows to hell
To gather the bones of you
I’ve given the piece of skin
To the gods of the broken man
I am complete
I've sent down the crows to hell
To gather the bones of you
I’ve given the piece of skin
To the gods of the broken man
I am complete

[@fionajolly5801]

These guys are gonna be the next metal titans. I can see them up there with Gojira and Lamb of God in the next few years

[@AyZeD]

They're better already imo, gojira went kinda shitty and LOG has always been over rated.

[@jeremystone2658]

I really want the 'tallica boy to invite them on a tour, just like when Ozzy invited them to go with him. The rest is history

[@Bezoldz]

@@AyZeD gojira went shitty? smokin crack lol?

[@AyZeD]

@@Bezoldz the albums after TWoAF aren't as good. There is a new album coming though and the singles sound alright, so we'll see how that goes

[@megitsune9459]

Good god people still listen to Lamb Of God...? They've always been overrated. "Good" band when you're 12 and know nothing about music.

[@luketotte6898]

These guys are carrying the future of metal on their shoulders. Absolute Badass's

[@xSociety]

Imagine these guys opening for Gojira. Sploosh

[@filipnowak2668]

Right! This is the future. Fresh & heavy!

[@Khazandar]

How so?

MY TAKE: Orbit Culture is the incarnation of NEXT LEVEL MUSICIANSHIP. I hail from 1969 and as a musician, guitar player I have seen decades of changes and thousands of new bands and genre after genre evolve into present day. Orbit Culture has a formula that is beautifully complex, percussive, theatrical, HUGE story telling as if every single track was created for a movie soundtrack. The vocals would make James Hetfield grin for sure! The power behind the vocals is different in that, they are inflective and not mush, they are skull crushing and yet heart warming. Brilliant. The guitars are rad af, percussive, creative, staccato, melodic and meaningful. Not a note too much or too less. Perfect! Bass is HUGE and it’s such a pleasure to ‘feel’ the bass driving through the tunes and at time the bass is incredibly amplified which again, is a delight! The drums. The drums… there is a beautiful balance of driving beats that keep the listener movin’ and the added intricacies of speed and 64th notes are incredible. There is a huge level of creativity here! The production is incredible. Absolutely brilliant and enormous. Nothing was left on the table and it clearly shows in each track. UNREAL! Overall, I feel Orbit Culture is my new favorite band of ALL genres. I encourage everyone to listen to Orbit Culture’s Next Level Melodic Death Metal as it is pure life for many a listener. #1

[@Immortalfilth]

You are not wrong at all!! I am literally going to Machine Head just to see them. They are the 2nd band on the line up, and then Fear Factory follows them. I literally am there just to see them.

[@hadesrecordofragnarok]

I completely agree, There’s just something so ethereal about this band I love it so much.

[@misanthrope1995]

3:20 goddamn those guttural vocals are insane!

[@laddeveritt8933]

I love that metal survived as a genre and that it is still played with this much ferocity.

[@silviasuarez1898]

Niklas always has the coolest jackets. The video is super cool, I hope to have the opportunity to see this band live one day!

[@TheRyanhegerty]

I swear drummers don’t get enough credit. This dude destroys the double bass and it’s not easy!

[@fleepz3866]

You can see the pain in his face get stronger as the song keeps going because his legs are giving out from the crazy bpm he's been putting down throughout the whole song lol

[@jodz9505]

Christopher nails it every time

[@geologist5838]

I discovered Orbit Culture and Gojira the last few months...they reached my TOP metal bands man...

[@GeorgeZimmermen]

I’m not a gojira fan but you just discovered them? They’ve been around forever and toured the world for years. How is that possible?

[@exumaan2512]

@@GeorgeZimmermen Metal bands except Metallica, Iron Maiden etc. have a small following compared to mainstream pop and indie artists so it's not that uncommon to not have heard of them. I myself also discovered Gojira years after starting listening to Metallica and Megadeth...

[@GeorgeZimmermen]

@@exumaan2512 I watched gojira open up for Metallica in October 2009 and I knew who they were before that. Fairly large name in the metal community if you don’t only listen to dad metal from the 80’s.

[@mackormik97]

When I am sad, I turn on this song and understand that life is beautiful!

[@D3ADPO3TRY]

Thank You, I love an honest awesome human reaction.

[@felixhamel2398]

I just can't get over how fucking brutal the scream at 3:19 is

[@brunoramos5]

Gave me fking goosebumps ahahaha Just found them 3 days ago, it's so damm good I'm fking addicted! \m/

[@Haildarkart]

I really feel and hear the essence of Mikael Akerfeldt's growls, in his golden age.

[@Landekar]

This is a guttural growl. There's absolutely no screaming involved

[@SW-800]

The drum became a fucking Formula 1 with this guy. The best band I discovered in the past few years

[@marinjerkan2192]

that drummer, woah

[@doomslayer6901]

I've watched this like a hundred times now, and everytime the drummer is smiling, i just have to smile too

[@atlantis4156]

HOLY... THAT WAS PHENOMENAL. Music is better than ever.. And this vocalist is beyond perfect!!!!

[@haraldu.2344]

I've seen them in a small club in Leipzig opening a little but fine show. But... in my opinion, they should have headlined this show, and many others in big venues. They kick ass and play in the same league like Lamb of God and others. THE metal band of the coming years.

[@dustrider9306]

dude, where, when??? I wanna at least cry over the missed opportunity. hellraiser? which main act? cheers from connewitz :)

[@haraldu.2344]

@@dustrider9306 it was in Naumann's / Felsenkeller 21. September 2019. They opened for Rivers Of Nihil. You missed something.. :-)

And Sabaton, Arch Enemy.. Meshuggah.. Avatar.. Dark Tranquillity and the list goes on and on

[@Rattles02]

I went to Sweden back in 2012. I think everyone I met knew someone in a metal band. A guy stopped me when I had my Amon Amarth shirt on. "Hey, Johan's parents are my neighbors!". On one of my last days over there, I said something about Soilwork to a girl I was working with. She dug out her cellphone and was trying to call her old classmate Bjorn Speed but he didn't answer.

[@SynthLizard8]

I honestly thourght there were 2 vocalists going just from the audio, one clean and one growly.

I just seen them with Avatar in Dallas and I'm a fan now

This band is the best find KZbin has ever given me. I love these In The Studio videos but I would absolutely appreciate a true live video. No doubled vocals unless someone is singing into another mic and either no synths or someone playing them. It's going to be a while before we get to see you in the states and a truely live video would be so awesome.

It's just freaking awesome 🤟🏻
