Eksjö, Sweden-based melodic death / groove metal band Orbit Culture issued third full-length studio album Nija in CD and digital format on August 7th, 2020 through Seek & Strike, with a digipak CD version following on August 21st. Limited edition vinyl versions of the album were also released by the label at a later date.
Frontman Niklas Karlsson commented: “I won’t lie, this album has been the hardest and most difficult set of songs I’ve ever worked with. Not so much by the musical side of things – the songs themselves went pretty fast to write. However, some technical difficulties with computers, hard drives, members leaving, guitars failing, and touring for the first time – which was an awesome experience by the way – has stalled the album quite a bit. This, though, may be the first time in our musical adventure that I’m truly proud of something the boys and I have made.”
Nija was produced, mixed and mastered by Niklas Karlsson.
Cover artwork was created by Bahrull Marta (Abomination Imagery).
