Outbound is the third album by Norwegian symphonic power metal band Keldian.

[1] Outbound was largely funded by a campaign on IndieGoGo, which raised $6,808 for the project between February 26, 2013 and April 27, 2013.

Supporters of the campaign received a limited-edition signed copy of the album.

Lyrically, the song is a critique of militarisation of space by such groups as the Project for a New American Century.

[3] It specifically refers to its influential report, Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategies, Forces, and Resources For a New Century, which call to protect resources of rich and influential "haves" from poor and frustrated "have nots".
