Niklas quickly started to write songs for their debut EP, ‘Orbit Culture’ along with Maximilian getting his friend, drummer, and ex-bandmate on board from Maximilian’s precious metal project, Abstract Noise to take on the drum parts. It wasn’t until early 2013 when Niklas and Maximilian started to really get into the recording techniques due to the boys getting their hands on the Line 6 POD UX1. The intention and passion of writing and recording music were there from the beginning, but exploiting the rehearsal room as a drinking place was a bit more important to the young men during the inception of the band. Niklas and Maximilian hired a small rehearsal space in an old power plant station. At the age of 17, Niklas and Maximilian met each other through mutual friends in Eksjö, and through the same love of heavy riffing and writing songs Niklas and Maximilian decided to start a small jam group.

Both singer and guitarist Niklas and lead guitarist Maximilian did participate in different music constellations back and forth across the county. Orbit Culture was founded in 2013 by member Niklas Karlsson and ex-member Maximilian Zinsmeister. From Eksjö, best known for its old wooden architecture dating back to the 1400th century comes the four-piece metal band we know of today, Orbit Culture. In the southern parts of Sweden, in between the two major revered metal cities, Gothenburg and Stockholm lie the small town of Eksjö, just about 60 kilometers from Jönköping.
