Descent is the fourth studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Orbit Culture. It was released on 18 August 2023, via Seek & Strike Records in LP, CD and digital formats. Frontman Niklas Karlsson stated that Descent was meant to be "a live-friendly album, but in the end it turned out to be this big-ass darker monster," referring to its balance of light and dark elements. "That's what we're pushing for: the highest mountain to the lowest abyss."[9] The album was well-received by critics and audiences, receiving praise and favorable ratings from reviewers.[10] Two songs from the album's recording sessions were later released as part of an EP titled The Forgotten, released later that year.[11]
