Orbiter Announce Fall Shows in Finland and Germany
At some point between releasing 2020’s The Deluge and now, Helsinki psychedelic troupe Orbiter parted ways with guitarist Jere Remes — don’t worry, they’ve still got — Alexander Meaney — and it’s as a four-piece that they’ll embark on their first international showcases, playing at the Fuzz Jam Festival in Hamburg and Berlin’s Setalight Festival in successive nights in Germany this October. There are a few other Finnish dates on either side of that fest-centered weekender, but the important takeaway here is Orbiter are getting out and will likely look to do so more after this if all goes well.
I don’t know what their plans are as regards releasing their debut LP, but according to the info here, the record is done and has been since June. That makes me wonder if there isn’t a label involved, and the delay is up to aligning with pressing plants and promotional concerns, thereby pushing it to 2023. I don’t know that, mind you, but otherwise, why not just put it up on Bandcamp and have done with it? Anyway, don’t go quoting speculation, but whenever the album is announced, I’ll have an eye out for it.
From the PR wire in the meantime:
Orbiter announce tour dates for autumn 2022
Finnish psychedelic doom metal band Orbiter are playing six live shows in autumn 2022. These include four club shows in Finland and two festival performances in Germany at Fuzz Jam Festival in Hamburg and Setalight Festival in Berlin. The German dates will be the band’s first live performances outside Finland.
The Helsinki-based quartet made an impact on the heavy music underground scene with their 2020 debut EP The Deluge, which received excellent reviews. Orbiter’s sound is a melting pot of doom-laden riffs, atmospheric psychedelia, and hypnotic vocals, and the band has garnered acclaim for their atmospheric live shows.
In May-June 2022, the band recorded their debut full length album with legendary producer Hiili Hiilesmaa (HIM, Apocalyptica), to be released in 2023. Many of the new songs have been performed at recent live shows and have received a thrilled response from the audience.
