Northlane To Release New Album August 2nd
Northlane is scheduled to go on a North American Tour to support Alien starting in August, with supporting acts Erra, Currents, and Crystal Lake. North American dates are below.
For a band that have traditionally focused on wider issues in the outside world, Alien is easily the most personal statement of their career. "I was raised in hell but I made it out," Bridge said. "Raised in a place I shouldn't have been, and no child should have been. But I've been able to break free."
Long time fans of Northland may mistakenly believe that Alien aligns with previous work, but instead it contemplates the alienation Bridge felt as a child "who grew up in a weird, unusual household and who was bullied at school because of it."
Produced by the band, the album was recorded at Chris Blancato's studio in Sydney, Australia, where Northlane recorded their first EP, 2010's Hollow Existence.
The band celebrates their 10th year anniversary in 2019, and this album marks a tenacious step forward; the work of a group fighting their way out of their corner by moving forward rather than looking back. Previous albums have debuted in the Top 5 — with Node landing at Number One before going on to win an ARIA Award for Best Hard Rock or Heavy Metal Album, an accolade also awarded to Mesmer. Northlane, however, is in no mood to play it safe and plans to introduce their loyal fans with more soul and deeper storytelling in Alien.
Fans can pre-order Alien here. Alien is also available with exclusive vinyl, CD, and merch options in limited quantities worldwide here.
