ORBIT CULTURE - Hydra Reaction | This Song Will Snap Your Neck

Details

Description

Orbit Culture have done it again. HYDRA is an absolute monster.

In this reaction, I dive into the brand new track “Hydra” from Swedish heavyweights Orbit Culture, taken from their upcoming album Death Above Life, dropping October 3, 2025 via Century Media Records.

From the moment this one kicks off, it’s pure carnage — a relentless headbang-inducing onslaught of groove, industrial grit, and guttural rage. Niklas Karlsson sounds like he’s summoned a demon through a distortion pedal, and the production by Buster Odeholm (yes, that Buster) gives this track a level of punch that feels like getting hit by a truck… twice.

We break down the visually stunning video directed by Vicente Cordero (shoutout to Industrialism Films) and talk about the metaphor of the “two-headed snake” — a brutal commentary on fame, greed, and self-destruction.

Lyrically, Hydra is venomous and visceral, a full-throttle scream against the soul-sucking industry machine: “Sign in blood here, please” hits hard. That mid-section breakdown? Filthy. And when the final “I’ll run you too” lands? Game over.

Orbit Culture continue to prove they’re one of the most exciting and consistent bands in modern metal, merging death metal, groove, and industrial influences into their own brand of sonic punishment. And if this is just a taste of what Death Above Life holds… we’re in for a hell of a ride.

Hit that like button if your neck's as sore as mine and let me know in the comments — is Hydra the best metal track of 2025 so far?
