Poland-based blackened death metal band ORBSTRUCT set October 3rd as the international release date for their highly anticipated third full-length album, Ostracism, which will be released via Paragon Records in all physical formats.
“Ostracism was meant to be a manifesto of our solitude, which we wanted to offer as a gift and the best chance for each person to truly know themselves. But as we dove deeper into our own minds, we came across images we weren’t ready for. Under pressure from outside forces we couldn’t control, we couldn’t see a way back from this nightmare, so we were forced to fight our way out through paths that completely shattered how we saw reality and ourselves. In the end Ostracism became a scream of our despair, from which we no longer expect a reply, but we still hope we’re not alone in this emptiness, and that our cry will be heard.” – says the band
The first single, “Hive”, is out now and available on all digital platforms, including the band’s official Bandcamp page, where you can pre-order the album: https://orbstructofficial.bandcamp.com/album/ostracism
The band comments on ‘Hive’:
“HIVE is the roar of countless voices, all blending into one, urging you to become a single mind and a unified body, to transform and be reborn into something new. It doesn’t matter if you’re afraid or if you truly desire this change. What truly counts is your final choice. Will you stay true to yourself on this journey, facing it alone as you seek enlightenment, even if it means risking your sanity? Or will you give up right away, guaranteeing you reach the end, but never truly experiencing or understanding it?”

ORBSTRUCT is the adept of the darkest side of Death. Paying great attention to the grim and oppressive atmosphere of their music, the band manages to give their compositions an unusual for death metal coldness and disturbing emotions that are constantly intertwined with bursts of aggression and fury, leaving an indelible impression on the listeners. Originally, the band was formed in Kharkiv, Ukraine, and over the years has become one of the most recognizable death metal bands in their home country.
Orbstruct is also well-known beyond their homeland. The band’s first two albums, Phobos Rising and Deimos Falling, were successfully released on physical media simultaneously by two labels: Paragon Records in the USA and Envenomed Music in the EU. Both albums were warmly received by critics and collectors in many countries.
With the onset of the war in Ukraine, the band did not cease its activities and began actively performing charity concerts to raise funds in support of war victims. Despite the ongoing conflict, the band also managed to record their third full-length album. As the fighting intensified, the band members decided to relocate to Europe to continue their work.
