Swedish modern metallers Orbit Culture have announced their 2026 North American headline tour in support of their latest album, Death Above Life (Century Media). The extensive run kicks off February 18 in Roseville, California, and wraps up April 10 in Los Angeles, marking the band’s first full-scale headlining trek across the U.S. and Canada.
The Death Above Life Tour will feature support from Ov Sulfur and Atlas, bringing an unrelenting lineup of aggression, atmosphere, and melody to major cities throughout North America. Tickets go on sale Friday, November 14 at 10 a.m. local time.
“We’re beyond excited to return to North America and unleash the Death Above Life tour across the continent, joined by Ov Sulfur and Atlas,” the band shares. “We can’t wait to see everyone out there.”
Death Above Life has solidified Orbit Culture’s ascent within modern metal, debuting at No. 1 on multiple charts and earning widespread acclaim for its crushing sound and cinematic scope. The album follows the success of Descent (2023) and the EP The Forgotten, which established the Swedish quartet as one of the most vital acts in contemporary heavy music.
Formed in Eksjö, Sweden, Orbit Culture, featuring Niklas Karlsson (vocals/guitar), Richard Hansson (guitar), Fredrik Lennartsson (bass), and Christopher Wallerstedt (drums), have become known for merging the precision of thrash and death metal with haunting melodies and industrial textures. Their sound invites comparisons to Gojira, Metallica, and Static-X, while maintaining a distinct identity built on intensity and atmosphere.
Stream Death Above Life now and check out tracks like “Bloodhound”, “Hydra”, “The Tales of War”, and “Nerve”.
