Formation (2013)

Orbit Culture was formed with the idea of the vocalist and rhythm guitarist Niklas and ex-guitarist Maximilian Zinsmeister. They met each other through mutual friends at the age of 17 and decided to create a small group. They hired a small rehearsal place in an old power plant station. At that time, Maximilian was currently playing with another local band called Abstract Noise and he recruited Orbit Culture’s fellow drummer Markus Bladh and later, Christoffer Olsson joined to play bass guitar.[1] [2]

Odyssey (2013)

The production ended on August 17th, 2013, and Orbit Culture’s very first studio album was released shortly after.
