Why This Tour Matters
Death Above Life showcases Orbit Culture at their absolute peak—ten tracks of relentless Swedish melodic death metal that’s been dominating European stages since October. Their current EU/UK tour runs through November 30, giving them perfect momentum heading into North American dates.
The album’s lead single “Bloodhound” (also the presale password—clever marketing) demonstrates why they’ve transcended underground status. Support from Ov Sulfur and Atlas creates a triple-threat lineup that justifies ticket prices for any metalhead.

This marks their return to North America with proper production and touring infrastructure, unlike the impromptu LA gig that left fans begging for more. Expect full album playthrough mixed with fan favorites from their catalog.
Pro Tips for Attendees
Smaller markets like Saskatoon and Lexington will offer more intimate experiences than massive venues in LA or New York. If you’re considering traveling for the show, these often-overlooked cities provide better stage proximity.
Canadian dates require passport verification for US attendees. Toronto’s metal scene guarantees an electric atmosphere, while Montreal shows typically feature the most intense crowds.
Check official venue websites for VIP packages and meet-and-greet opportunities that might not appear on general ticket platforms.
Stream Death Above Life on major platforms now to prepare for the sonic assault coming early 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use the “Bloodhound” presale password for any city, or is it location-specific?
A: The “Bloodhound” password works for all 36 tour dates through the artist presale on Orbit Culture’s official website. However, presale access is time-limited (started November 11 at 12:00 pm local time), so some cities may have already sold significant inventory before general sale opens November 14.
Q: Will Orbit Culture perform their entire Death Above Life album, or mix it with older material?
A: While setlists aren’t officially confirmed, tours supporting new albums typically feature 5-7 tracks from the recent release mixed with fan favorites from their back catalog. Expect “Bloodhound” and other Death Above Life highlights alongside established crowd-pleasers. Check social media closer to tour dates for setlist confirmations from early shows.
