Swedish metallers ORBIT CULTURE have released a new single, “The Tales Of War”. The song’s accompanying music video, which finds the band braving a raging storm, was directed by Riivata Visuals.

Watch “The Tales Of War” below.

ORBIT CULTURE comments: “‘The Tales Of War’ marks the beginning of a new chapter for ORBIT CULTURE. While other songs evolved and shifted during the writing process, this one stayed exactly as it was from the very start. It captures everything that defines ORBIT CULTURE — the cinematic elements, the build-up, the verses, and the chorus. From the beginning, we knew this had to be the first song to introduce this new era. On almost every show we’ve ever played, we’ve used these long, cinematic intros to set the mood — but this time, we figured: Why not bake that feeling straight into the song itself? Even as we move forward and leave parts of our past behind, we needed a bridge to the future — and this track became that bridge.”
