Northlane - Dante | First Reaction!

[@DrewFortune97]

Who’s coming dancing? 🕺🏼

[@GopolangLehobye]

Fanboy here... Love Northlane so much...Song Of the year for me

[@Xenomorph79]

Northlane became one of my favorites for their spin on edmsynthcore. And this song is just adding to my love for their music.

[@RockNRollaMAC]

Metalcore, but make it trancey - those chord progressions are straight out of the late 90s Golden Age of Trance!

[@Papatoothwort]

That chorus is a fucking drug

[@DrewFortune97]

Laced with something

[@LBSTGTfile]

It is.

[@METALBIRB]

Dude this song just keeps getting better too!

[@DrewFortune97]

YESSIRRR, this one grabbed me instantly but I can see why some are only coming round now🙏🏻 Hugeeee grower, dancing around my kitchen right now making eggs 🍳

[@DamianKotan]

Marcus is the best thing that happened to the band, I love him so much

[@paraweld9838]

my dad passed away following complications during a surgery, this song is my feelings literally word for word. 'Could anything have really made a difference?' 'I hate the silent reminders of nothing but heartache' man....

[@DrewFortune97]

Sorry to hear dude 🤍

[@Anthony-pq4vr]

Marcus on top of his vocal game! Stoked to hear more of the new stuff

[@Crotes1990]

Drew, please trust me on this, I've seen many MANY metal bands in the past 20 years, but Northlane live is as good as it gets. Make it your mission to see these guys live I swear.

[@DrewFortune97]

1st opportunity that makes sense I’m all over it!

[@jamiestone5805]

preach, saw them as sleep tokens support and genuinely think i enjoyed their set more than the main act lol

[@edwardsheridan1688]

They are on another level live, I’ve seen them 5times and am in awe every time

[@spicyramendotcom7975]

Can confirm. Saw them on their Make Them Suffer run in the states…I’ve never heard a band sound so good and be so intense live…and I’ve seen Periphery, BTBAM, etc.. Northlane is god tier live artists. They should be headlining every show they play till they retire.

[@gSWG3R]

Yeah, they're incredible live. I saw them on one of their final Obsidian concerts here in Australia. I was a bit concerned that due to it being one of their last shows of that tour that Marcus's vocals may have been worn out a tad. But, nope, immaculate he was.

[@BigBev121]

I was waiting for this reaction. I knew you were gunna blow your load over it hahahahaha. Great watch

[@DrewFortune97]

😂😂🤍🙏🏻

[@louistremblay1218]

Northlane deserves so much more popularity for what they have been doing since alien, that being said that chorus is so fucking good

[@rudyb.]

Wow!! That’s like coming home!! I remember when “Obsidian” album dropped and you(Drew Fortune) reacted to the whole album. I followed your channel, I am still here…since the day you reacted to Jinjer “Pieces”. Keep going Drew!!!

[@DrewFortune97]

Welcome home son❤️ (You)(Rudyb)

[@ngaugeblading9690]

The songs slaps as does Obsidian. I was listening to that album yesterday after listening to the new song. Zero skips on that album. Also Marcus is amazing live as well

[@AutomaticHumanoid28]

I’m so pumped to see these guys live next year !

[@mt2oo8]

Your 9.2 first listen will become a 10 by tomorrow, the song keeps getting better each listen for me. Northlane never miss

[@DrewFortune97]

Correct

[@theunexpectedua]

Love what Northlane are doing! Honestly the more I listen to this song the more I like it, it's one of those songs imho.

[@kassiej200]

I’m a proud Aussie! Love this great continuation from obsidian, love the heaviness at the end! Can’t wait to hear what this next chapter brings. Had the change to hug him last year….. sounds like this make me want to continue the hug lol. Hope you have seen them live! They/ he is epic! ❤

[@ricksolano404]

This song is everything I didn't know I needed.

[@stephenfernandes1058]

listened to this with a giant smile on my face fr

[@christianhackl474]

Sameee haha

[@DrewFortune97]

🤍🪩🕺🏼

[@f1awsy]

With this release I believe we are looking at a new album in 6-12 months. Can't wait for it these guys are just SO damn good.

[@Vixfor_]

New Northlane song is amazing, it's very well balanced for the Northlane style. They literally combined different songs from their previous albums into one. It starts with a very unique and interesting riff with electronic patterns and ends with ambient with amazing melody. Besides the song itself, i really apprecate and can feel the unexplainable vibe, i think the atmosphere of this song is perfect, it's very pleasant and it's very hard to explain. Even that ambient ending in the song sounds fantastic on it's own, i don't remember as many bands doing actual proper ambient like Northlane did here. But overall i wish we had a bit more progressive elements and unexpected: parts, transitions, switches. It's maybe something about structure that i find kinda samey, despite the track is still fantastic. Dante kinda fixes this issue a little with Guitar tone switch or whatever this thing was, i really enjoyed it, easy 8.7/10 for me. This is pretty much a grower and don't expect to be blown away by this track on a first listen, it requires a special taste, but this will get anybody sooner or later. Cannot agree that it sounds like Obsidian 2.0, there are some differences in vocal melodies, atmosphere and some parts. Though i kinda hope that we will get more variety on the upcoming album than it ever was before.

[@j.howie4]

Why is this band so underrated??? They’re sooo good!!!❤️🔥

[@xfi3ndx]

Your enthusiasm is contagious!

[@PabloEskyBrah]

Best vocals out of the current Aussie bands, they can't make a bad song atm.

[@Gomcio]

Unexpected, I missed that premiere but whatever, song is in my favorites right now anyways.

[@okay5488]

CHILLS EVERY TIME

[@LDFireBlade]

Dude, Northlane is hands down one of the best in the business. Alien still has to be an absolute favorite album of ALL-TIME and wished he would have had some screams here at the end of the chorus into that sick-nasty riff. So thankful to have come across your channel Drew! Been subbed for 6 months or so now and have watched almost all of your vids! Irish roots and can't wait to visit the motherland. Keep up the fantastic work bro 💪🏽 cheers from the US!

[@dskis]

This is Fresh ! we needed this

[@jamesaiken_]

I'm with you man! From Northern Ireland. I love this band! Great track, nearly cried myself

[@dbyng]

Another absolutely fire track ❤

[@ICanHasMyUsername]

I remember watching you reacting to Obsidian... And that's how I fell in love with this band. I have since showed it to a lot of people... And my sister and her soon-to-be husband are blasting their music every time we take a short roadtrip anywhere. Thank you.

[@DrewFortune97]

Amazing, thank YOU for watching my friend ❤️‍🔥

[@tysonnguyen4136]

Seeing these gents for the first time in a couple months! I'm beyond excited!!!

[@evangalinsky2499]

Saw them live in Oshkosh and they were so fucking good. Kinda wish they'd have played this early lmao

[@PapaSriracha_]

Love your reactions brother 🙌🙌 listened to this earlier and came straight to YT to see if you reacted it hahah THE BOYS HAVE DONE IT AGAIN!! 🤘🤘🤘

[@DrewFortune97]

🤍

[@Hvddonfield]

I’ve been listening to Northlane for years now, and I must say I’m very impressed on how much they have progressed and changed the game. Such unique sounds from everyone and Marcus’s voice just blows my mind. And I give this single a 9.7/10

[@smokejc]

That chorus hooked me instantly. Gorgeous song.

[@christianhackl474]

Absolutely!! Same! :)

[@dandi-setiawan622]

My favorite band 😍🤘🏼🔥

[@LenaLuna11]

It was the hugging of the vinyl for me 😅

[@DrewFortune97]

😍😍😂😂

[@aesthetic97]

The melody and sound of the guitar at 3:20 to 3:42 strongly reminded me on some old linkin Park Song ( I think from the A Thousand Suns Album). Love it

[@shaneamigo4390]

An instant favorite song for me on the first listen… Incredible!!

[@acridineorange11]

The world needs more Northlane.

[@vansubagja]

"2023 is about to end, so lets wrap all the great singles & albums for this year" Northlane: allow me to introduce myself

[@The_KlaVra]

MARCUS SOUNDS LIKE THE WEEKEND... That thing made laugh out loud! Also, hi Bogdan twin!

[@willelkin9878]

Pure class from them! I agree, Marcus sounds unreal!!

[@stephenwoodrum2735]

Huge sounds! Love it! Northlane are massively underrated. DJEDM?

[@glow-jv6wt]

god i’m so late to this but i finally listened to dante and i had to see what others were saying. i think this has convinced me to buy a ticket to see them next year. i was on the fence because i love northlane but don’t listen to them heaps, but man they’d be amazing live.

[@januszo.2180]

I think we share our musical taste Drew. Subbed.

[@gorenaecologist]

Seeing it live was something else.

[@itgetsdajobdone]

You can tell that Northlane are so comfortable in this sound. They're making innovation look effortless ❤

[@lucassnapp2438]

Like fine wine 🍷

[@22theryno]

Lyrics don’t match how hype this song makes me 🙌🏼😤

[@joshhaynes2363]

Great song for sure!

Yes I thought he sounds like the weekend tooo!!!

[@adrianwyrwas8940]

Marcus Bridge sounds like colab angel and devil. Is fuckin incredible!

[@8JFJK8]

Certified banger. Heard it yesterday and after hearing that chorus once i was like “yup, this is getting played 1000 times this year.” 😂

[@ScreenSpidah]

"I'm not gonna try to do the whole dick-rider thing." 😂 Bro, this song was a BANGer, saddle up for this album mfers

[@DrewFortune97]

😂😂😂

[@harddobe]

Alien was such a massive album that it was almost impossible to top it with their next. They didnt want to just do another Alien 2.0 and they kept the progression into Obsidian. I hope they can move back towards that Alien sound a bit more, and this sounds exactly like I wanted. Killer song.

[@ben_angel]

Literally spoke over the entire beautiful outro of the song 😅

[@WishMount]

Just booked Northlane tickets for February. FUCK YES this song is so good

[@nighk1694]

Dude! Northlane has been getting bigger and bigger to me. Alien gave me the spark that I didn't know I needed for EDM. Obsidian, turned me into an EDM fan. And DANTE just made me what to become a metal DJ lol forever greatful for your and MetalBirbs reaction to the album.

[@elderemunk]

I got happy simply by how happy you got 💜

[@DrewFortune97]

💜💜

[@cookieeaturface]

Same kind of vibe as the new Thornhill imo. Not pushing any boundaries, but pleasant enough to listen to. Marcus' vocals are really the highlight.

[@someguy7448]

nah, Thornhill has just gone in a different direction... Northlane always releases something like this as the first single

[@Bruh-pi9wu]

Harkla dropped a new album, i liked it.

[@indigorotten]

This band introduced me for now and i hyped!

[@dorisg.3]

Next: Orbit Culture 😛❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥💥💥💥😋🤘

[@nathanoconnell6348]

[@thedroidattackonthewookies2164]

If you missed the new album by bury tomorrow called "the seventh sun" this year i highly recommend you to check it out✌🏻

[@benookand4141]

And I can't believe there are people out there who would rather have Adrian back in Northlane than this?!?!? I can not wrap my head around that, Marcus is the true singer of Northlane and he is irreplaceable. Anyone who doesn't agree with this KNOW that they are lying, Northlane is the best fucking metal band throughout history!

[@miskatarkka9407]

You should listen to the Node album by Northlane, I absolutely love Obsidian and Alien but I would rank Node even higher

[@backtokill_]

Agreed, I love alien but node is something else

Guys can someone do a playlist of EDM music thats similar to the style Nortlane does? Im talking this song and Obsidian influence. I need that shit and wouldnt know where to start. Only one i know is Burial (because im from uk I've known about him for a while and i know Northlane are influenced by him).

[@fishygodni3037]

Another band that I've been introduced to by watching your streams. Thanks ❤

[@thepowerofmyth]

Periphery vibes

[@alexkenley1]

It's 100% grower

[@kianllewellyn8265]

Honestly this is one of my favorite songs from them, hits me hard to the core. So happy to have seen them with sleep token

[@scout_gonzo]

Powerful chorus and the industrial feeeel. Chills!!!

[@friderikosj]

Top 3 song of the year for me already with just a couple of listens. And it can only get higher

[@angelmoreno7535]

This is probably one my favorite chorus from them! Marcus with the sound of the heavens. 👏🏼🥲

[@jakegillette8897]

bro how do u talk through the ending of the song like that lol

[@midwestmulisha820]

This is one of the few bands that make me feel like an old man. I can count on one hand how many of their songs I've enjoyed after the Singularity album. i just cant do it with the northlane name attached to it

[@Scadman79]

These guys better headline next year PLEASE.

[@Physyadelic]

There's so much to love about this song, the vibe is truly immaculate ✨ Though I cannot shake the feeling that this track was basically written around an amazing chorus, like they had this idea predetermined and they couldn't build up enough onto it, it's kinda lacking most of the time 🥲 those empty spaces doesn't really feel spacy, atmospheric...more like "I don't know" and it kills the pace Intro riff is very beefy, me like Some other parts are sex But there's no climax really and we finish off sleeping on the bed with a piano playing in the background Hopefully next single will make us truly liquid An ode to Node, with Alien and Obsidian waving far in the background 😂 (8 listens so far) 7.5/10

[@gruccigang0587]

[@BallyAfrica]

The band YUUGE - Chrysalis Retrogade you must do an album reaction amazing i promise pls pls pls If you like Northlane, sleeptoken ect checkout hidden gem

[@cameronherrick6639]

Man I really can't enjoy this song though. I've listened to it several times now... Glad everyone else seems to like it. I can't get into this whole edm metal thing. Silent Planet is doing the same thing currently and its driving me nuts :( (Although I will say Silent Planets new songs are still much better than Dante/Obsidian imo) I really hate saying this because northlane is such a big inspiration for me but I can't consider myself a fan of anything after Alien. I loved Alien, Alien was still a metal album but with electronic influences and that was sick, its was still like 80% metal. Unfortunately this is probably the last album I enjoyed from them. Now i feel like its totally flipped and now they do EDM songs with juuuust a little hint of metal influence.

I thought he sounded like weeknd too. Especially at the end

[@horizon6552]

Northlane’s new sound is amazing and this chorus is HUUUUUUGE. So excited for the future of this band. Too bad for for the insufferable elitist gatekeepers that keep complaining they don’t sound like they did on a 12 year old album and are allergic to moving on 😂

[@Vixfor_]

I'm so happy that they keep expanding the genre with electronic influences and experimentation. Overall Northlane has been a band of successful experiments for the last years. This is such a cool thing, i think nobody did that before on such level. Dante, Cypher, Obsidian, Dark Solitaire and Abomination are fantastic songs, they mixed with EDM and Metal so well that it sounds very natural.

[@jctheii]

Gotta update my rating from a (7.8/10) to a point higher (8.8/10). Just gets better with every listen good LORDT

[@AyyFuji]

I gotta be honest, this still hasn’t hit for me, idk why.

[@AyyFuji]

I’ve had a bit more of a listen to it (4th time), and I can see why people love it, it’s just personally not my style, most likely it feeling a bit more ‘electronic’ than what I like to hear. Like as an example, Orphan Breed’s breakdown in the first couple listens was honestly off putting with how strong the electronic elements in it were. It’s fine now, I enjoy the song, but when it gets too ‘techno, dubstep, hardstyle etc etc’ I kinda tune out. Either way, Northlane are Sydney boys like me and Polaris, so I hope this song pops off outside of metal core, and brings more people in to enjoy the awesome genre that it is. That’s my full thoughts.

[@alondite215]

Oof. Wow these guys fell off hard. They released two solid records and then everything else has been a slide into being increasingly more watered-down and boring. Can't imagine wanting to ever listen to this band given how many better bands are out there.

[@TheAlex4019]

So so happy that I saw them 3 times live before Obsidian and this shitty EDM vibe 😂

Cool song but nothing outstanding imo
