Today, Aural Music announces October 9th as the international release date for Orbita's highly anticipated debut album, Farewell to All We've Lost, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Emerging from the shadows in 2020, Orbita first made their mark with a debut demo deeply rooted in the raw, unfiltered spirit of traditional stoner doom. As the band underwent a series of lineup changes, their artistic vision expanded, embracing a darker, more immersive, and emotionally charged sonic identity.

Today, Orbita stand as a new upcoming force in the Italian dark / doom metal scene, crafting oppressive atmospheres, crushing riffs, and haunting melodies that explore the deepest corners of the human psyche. Their music transcends the boundaries of conventional doom, blending hypnotic heaviness with profound introspection to create an intense and cathartic listening experience.

Τhe album was recorded and mixed at Vacuum Studio by Enrico Baraldi, whereas the cover artwork is a painting by Benjamin König (Hexvessel, Finnr's Cane, Horna).

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Rotten Flowers" here: https://orbita999.bandcamp.com/album/farewell-to-all-we-ve-lost , where the album can also be preordered.

we can't wait to reveal more in the coming months.

++ STATEMENT ++

Hi everyone

After almost 10 years the time has come for me to step away from Slow. Life and my health have nudged me into a different direction. While I am sad to close this chapter, I look back on it with immense gratitude. I loved creating for you and seeing your reactions.

I would like to thank Deha for being a great friend, fellow musician and mentor over the years. I am sure he will continue to do great things with the band.

All the best,

Lore

++ From Deha ++

"Lore has been a milestone in this band since "V Oceans", to say the least. She's helped me, in more than one way, musically and more. An amazing friend, that I wish to anyone here. Her departure isn't bittersweet: love and friendship prevail, always.

Of course, this means that 'Slow' goes back to the way it was before, as a one person band. I've already started working on something I will keep secret for the moment, but you will still hear Lore. We've worked a lot to bring you the Doom these past years, and needless to say: she will be there, as a swansong.

Much love to Lore. May the stars shine your way."
