Into Orbit: Kinesis
Into Orbit Kinesis Ironclad Productions The intensity has increased across Into Orbit albums – and with the duo involved in other projects, most notably the melodic death metal group Dark Divinity, it makes sense that the ‘ambient’-setting has some real oomph behind it. I think back to that brilliant debut album, it was a cautious […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 556
Into Orbit, Unearthing (2017) I think this is my first brand new (2017) album on vinyl…hand-delivered by a member of the band too. A nice touch.

Sweetman Podcast: Episode 13 – Into Orbit
I first saw the band Into Orbit a couple of years ago, one of their very first gigs. I was blown away. Not just the power and sound of this duo but the conceptual shape of their music.

Gig Review: Into Orbit (April 17, Wgtn)
