'From The Inside' highlights Orbit Culture's blend of infectious hooks and crushing melodies, wraped up in captivating songwriting. Niklas Karlsson (guitars/vocals) states: "Right off the bat, starting in the writing and demo stage of this album, all of us in the band felt that this song was special. It is somewhat of a melancholic track, but with a deadly punch that works well over this atmospheric clean guitar. The intro felt right, the verse felt right and the chorus felt right. It’s just one of those songs that combined all of the elements of this album into a single track.

"The lyrics contain several metaphors talking about not really being fit in and dealing with life’s everyday bullshit. I drew a line between the similarity of solitude to being left outside in the cold, which mostly starts within yourself. That’s how the whole visual aspect of the video came from, being left out, seeing the world and the rest of the world can see you, but you can’t be touched."

On Descend, Niklas continues: "We wanted this album to sound as big and aggressive as possible, while maintaining a pleasant listening experience. I took a lot inspiration from the movie Dune, not because of the story or anything, but because the combination of imagery and music created this vast picture and we wanted to convey that epic feel with this new album."
