Thanks for watching peeps. Show Northlane some love if you enjoyed the track. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHnHinWlhM15gbMsi=jQmC_Fiyxl4vY8Kw

[@Robin_Bhanks]

Show Northlane some love!!

[@Terminal_liminal]

A perfect mix of 4D, Rift and Clockwork.

[@muzzyfilms1955]

It's all of this, and a pinch of Xen... good song picks though, you're dead on

[@styxxhs3010]

their first album is still the northlane i miss.. once they did the youtube contest tryout stuff and got their current singer the screaming faded away.. and what other emotion are you left with? sadness? depression? no more anger from the past bleeding thru, or pissed off hope that we’ll never again make the same mistakes we once did.. etc.

[@benwise512]

@@styxxhs3010 someone hasn't listened to alien...

[@styxxhs3010]

@@benwise512 uh oh.. is that the first album after this contest winner? if not, then no i havent but just because youve said this… ill go add and start listening now.. give me a moment.. so looking alien was released in 2020.. and yes i missed it entirely… discoveries and singularity.. thats when i was into northlane.. then their old vocals left or whatever and they did the contest on youtube and thier current vocalist won.. then node was made.. i listened to it.. was mixed but moreso on the side of, meh, im good.. thats when i mainly stopped.. i tried some of mesmer… and thats what solidified that for me.. then slien was released after i was gone.. so now ive added it.. and ill try it out.. thanks for letting me know!

[@christianhackl474]

@styxxhs3010 so how's it goin? U liked the album Alien or nah?? Haha. You cannot deny it is better than node or mesmer, AT LEAST. Plus got (at least) some bangers too

[@andreimarasigan]

I just noticed that the constant beat and rhythm from the bass comes from the breakdown from Cypher off Obsidian but transposed and made a little faster. I can't get over how they could turn that breakdown into a whole song. These guys are geniuses.

[@sky_token]

Marcus said in an interview that they wrote this before obsidian they just couldn't perfect it and make it work until now. This song is likely what actually paved the way for obsidian.

[@davidbarko7004]

That makes so much sense. This feels like echo chamber if they turned up the energy and put some node vocals on it

[@lyricsdomatter]

ohhh that's cool, makes total sense. TY for that

[@blueking1806]

Which interview tho?

[@JoHarm96]

I honestly feel like every person that has followed Northlane over the years should have seen this direction of sound coming. I did and I’m here for it 👏🏼👏🏼

[@TheAlex4019]

I'm so glad that I saw them live 3 times before Obsdian and this shitty EDM vibe 😂

[@David-mw9jm]

@@TheAlex4019hating for no reason smh

[@Pandumz-]

@@TheAlex4019then dont listen? Its not for everyone bands change or else the same old stuff gets boring

[@TheAlex4019]

@@David-mw9jm The fact is that Northlane don't have more listeners after Obsidian why? Because the old fans as me find their current music boring and generic, no matter what you think. Listen to World Divided if you want a good exemple of a well done blend of metalcore and EDM/techno

[@FilipeG96]

​@@TheAlex4019They don't have more listeners? Where did you get that from? Regardless of your opinion on Obsidian they factually got more fans because there have been people that only started listening after Obsidian - but that's just matter of fact

[@JZABR]

That ending did make me feel some feels. I loved it. Obsidian is one of my favorite albums thru and thru. Echo Chamber has been at the top of my On Repeat playlist since it came out because its so fun. And this song was an emotional version what was found on Obsidian

[@davidbarko7004]

This is one of the songs where I bet they found a great chorus and then built the song around it. It has similar vibes to echo chamber and I’m definitely looking forward to having this song sub in for it in future set lists. Sounds like it’s definitely going to be a good groove live to chill out to before going into another heavy track

[@VooRst90]

I love the mix between electronic and metal. So good. Obsidian is my fave album!

[@CruciaLou]

Gorgeous track. Best vocal performance from Marcus. Major Node vibes.

[@dustinfoto]

Oh what I would give for a remix/master of Node. The only issue with that album, for me, is the mix isn't full. I still regularly jam the live version of Obelisk because of that.

[@JohnDoe-mv2be]

​@jayairstuff it's not bad I just thought the mix was a bit dry sounding

[@RthereNEusernames]

Sounds more like 4D or Obsidian than Node lol

[@lyricsdomatter]

Hearing him hit those E5's in the chorus with such passion and emotion, that fry scream perfectly capturing the pain and anguish, like you can hear his heart breaking. Just astounding

[@ricksolano404]

That chorus is everything. Definitely one of my favorites from them. And the drumming was sick.

[@ScreenSpidah]

Love when he goes high with distortion. Reminds me of some of that emo stuff from early 2010's, like Picturesque and PTV. This was a great track, can't wait for this album cuz Northlane knows how to string together multiple songs to make an amazing listening experience.

[@christianhackl474]

Absolutely agreed!

[@lethybridtheorygolucastheo2191]

To be fair, Marcus Bridge is actually a fan of this stuff as he was a big fan of bands like Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, Underoath, From First To Last etc and has done covers of songs from Sleeping With Sirens and Paramore. Other than that, I enjoy this song and this is one of the best tracks I've heard this month

[@nickwait5260]

It's a great track, I can't really fault it in any way. Sure I miss Alien's more 50/50 mix of heavy and EDM but this is evolving into something uniquely beautuful.

[@gtegenesis]

To me it doesn’t matter what direction northlane goes. I’m always into it. New song is awesome

[@kyunasan]

This song is beautiful, can't wait to see what's coming next! These guys created their own metal genre and it's always so good, they never disappoint, whatever if it's heavy or not! Its always fresh and perfectly done, love them. Also the end looks so sad for some reason, I wonder if it will be like a sort of 2-parts song in the album. I know some people are complaining because no breakdown, I personally don't care it will be for an other song, this one doesn't need one ♥️

[@TheRagingRayn]

3:53 This section plus the drums is the shit. The drummer always knows how to make groovy drum rhythms; like in Nameless off the node album

[@branm25]

This is basically what I've wanted the I See Stars comeback to sound like.

[@julianmoreno4415]

I absolutely love your take on this song. They’re such an exciting band. I’ll be honest that I wouldn’t want a whole album like this song but I do think this song is beautiful and such a soundscape. Love your vids man. Keep it up 👌

[@coreysmith9847]

Has a huge 90s edm vibe, fucking love it

[@dissonant_a]

On my fourth listen… just incredible. Sonically beautiful and I love Marcus’ voice!

[@JoeyGraham072189]

Ya , I agree with your rating/take on it. I like how they used their newer elements for the majority of the song but still threw in a djenty little break down before the end. Looking forward to the rest of the album!

[@lyricsdomatter]

This is a reference that'll be lost on anyone who isn't an aussie around the age of 40 who was into the electronic scene in the mid 2000s, but getting MAJOR Infusion vibes from that 'breakdown' - specifically the album 6 Feet Above Yesterday, tracks like Love And Imitation and Feeding From The Hand. Not a bad thing at all, it's a killer album. Much more dance oriented but with that more aggressive buzzsaw vibe to the synths

[@LDGZxero]

What an amazing band, im never disappointed

[@JohnnyRychous]

This song has not left repeat for me. Ever since Alien (my 2019 AOTY) then going into Obsidian (my 2022 AOTY) they have been seriously killing it. I cannot wait for what’s next. 🔥

[@Archangel.5]

Northlane had hands down been my favorite metal core band for ages

[@kazukihiratani]

Dante is such a great tribute to Ryan Siew! Looking forward to Mirror's Edge when it drops in April.

[@maxgold5750]

These songs are the reason why I love northlane

[@sweetgregt]

4D 2.0 and I freaking love it. Such a vibe.

[@BornSinners24]

People saying they hate northlane now and only listen to the first two albums saying that this sounds the same is so wrong. Singularity back then was good and with alien, obsidian and this are pushing metalcore and so unique I love all of northlane but this is a huge vibe. Love it and good video as always Birb🤘🏼

[@greigns7781]

The fact that it's unique is exactly why they don't like it lol. They won't admit it, but old Northlane fans are extremely close-minded and want all of their music to be cool riffs and predictable breakdowns

[@waytodawn4670]

Such a good vibe and i love the lyrics.

[@SnaccDaddyy]

I'm pretty sure that this is also a tribute to Ryan from Polaris as well which really makes it hit all that harder. I love Northlane

[@rivagesfm5018]

What source do you have ?

[@ryanpritt4849]

There’s so many Dead Letter Circus “…This is the Warning” vibes in here

[@matty856]

Dead Letter Circus...now there's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time

[@RockNRollaMAC]

I adore the trancey chord progressions with the synths, particularly in the chorus - it's from that late 90s/00s era of trance music, and it really contrasts with the heaviness/emotion of the lyrics and the band

[@two_days_slow]

Been a fan of Northlane forever and this song is gorgeous. Love it!

[@monicagonzales5899]

Marcus' vocal range though! So beautiful! And those electronics!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@nochanceofwinning9]

Perfect blend of Obsidian and Alien! Did you check out the new Elitist song? I saw it on Nik's stream

[@Nornfang]

Somebody tag Architects so they can hear what they did wrong

[@KevinMcFernley]

I think upon first listen, I had it somewhere around where you have it, buttttttt 30-40 listens later, I’m debating on whether or not this is the best song Northlane has dropped in the Marcus era. 😅

[@annahlovecraft]

Welp, this is the one that got me addicted to Northlane. They've been popping up for me for a year and when I heard this one, I was sold.

[@ckokomo808]

I agree with your take. North lane have been one of my fav since singularity. I fell off a bit but liked what I’ve heard the pst few years. I think this song will be a taste of what the rest of their next album will be. It wasn’t a banger for me but gets me excited for what’s to come! I find this exploration of metalcore to be really exciting - I was tired in the late 2010’s of breakdown-core. Excited to see new genres, song structures, and sounds being implemented into metalcore.

[@karl00l]

Peace, love and Northlane ✌ Extremely excited for what they will do on this new album.

[@kevinmyles6369]

Beautiful, melancholic vibe going this latest single of theirs. Love it. Can't wait for more.. Radio friendly track really but yeah who cares bout radio these days lol

[@unguided_za3084]

I only found Northlane just before they released Obsidian, the first track I heard was Clockwork and I loved it. So I checked out their older stuff which is very samey, then came along Obsidian and blew everything else out of the water for me. It's similar to Parkway Drive's story, until Ire, it was very samey and then Ire came out and just blew their older music away for me. I love it when bands progress like this.

[@TheHunt708]

Love the beat mixed with the lovely chorus

[@eightyeightfiveoh]

Loved it. Sleepless is one of my favorite NL songs, so I'm not surprised. The heavy is awesome, but songs like these are great.

[@milocabral7428]

If sleepless met clockwork and 4D

[@creatinovic]

for me the verses couldve gone for more of a complex riff or variation of the melody smth in the background. something that catches me offguard and grabs my attention. besides that i dig it. beautiful chorus, driving sound, cool song.

[@Kaps1313]

More emotional than Sleepless is a pretty hard task. Do love Dante tho! Keep the good work

[@Sillyygxrl]

I love northlane more than I thought. At first I was struggling to like obsidian feeling there was too much change and too much edm. Funny think I was def a grower and was like my most listened to record last year from Spotify. I loved this new song and can’t wait to see what’s next

[@madeleinesecker8036]

This was beautiful 🖤🎶🦋

[@skoottar]

Love it. Am I the only one picking up Dead Letter Circus feels with the Northlane fire?

[@LittleAngryCarrots]

Love the ending. Gave me NIN feels

[@KONTAGION705]

This song has Karnivool influence ALL over it

[@DejaVuDarkmist]

What a fantastic track by Northlane 👏

[@vansubagja]

I had a bit of cliche opinion here, but try to listen this the 2nd time. It hits harder.

[@flpprestess]

thanks for react

[@Musicyo111]

A southwestern Ontario buddy joining you on this for my first listen. Northlane became a different band when Marcus joined. I was a huge fan of Northlane in the Adrian days...with each album after Marcus came in I lost more interest. Simply due to my own music tastes! This song here felt disconnected...like it was searching for a home but never found it. A shallowness that showed through. But when thats separated from everything...each band members amazing talents shine through. Theyre all amazing including Marcus. I just feel like this, when it came together, didn't really work.

[@shock196411]

Right? I love old and new Northland. I loved obsidian but this is so boring and repetitive.

[@joevargasvargas1352]

Me encanta el inicio y el coro sin lugar a dudas. Lo que falto creo que fue un breakdown. Después todo bien. Tremenda canción. 🤘🤘🤘

[@niravsurati2905]

This song is exactly what I wished Linkin Park would become

[@dandi-setiawan622]

My favorite band 😍🤘🏼🔥

[@jimmygott]

I had given Northlane a listen a few months back but didn't vibe with me gave Obsidian and Alien a listen to but yea just didn't hit with me. This song though really like it not sure why haha.

[@AyyFuji]

I kinda get it now on my 4th listen (didn't like it at first), still not really my thing, but I see where it's groovy and you can get into it. My take, is it doesn't matter if I like it or not, if new fans are made because the electronic crowd gets into it, or people just genuinely like it and then slowly learn what metalcore is (like I've done the past year, catching up on everything I've missed out on, I had my metal taste set for years before), that is all the matters. Get more people into metalcore, this scene needs these songs to try and make this genre and scene the best it could be

[@antonygomargames]

wow wow wow. thats my words when I check the song 🤤

[@Joose]

How to shift away from Metalcore: Northlane How *not* to shift away from Metalcore: Architects

[@alanh.5458]

Every time I remember architect’s new album I die a little inside

[@isaactayller]

northlane is so goooood, fuck

[@Embersword281]

Ima be honest I really wished I liked this track, but the production felt kinda mute in a lot of ways and just kinda felt like it wasn't going anywhere. The chill outro i did like admittedly, but before that section when the song got a little heavier, i was excited but then it just...ended. It might grow on me with more listens but on first listen? was honestly pretty bored. Still excited to see what else they have for us though

[@silasxaviertheprod.9734]

I think the only thing I wish this mix/master had, was more emphasize on the high end frequencies. It sounds very low/mid focused and and is lacking that “loudness” energy from the high end to saturate the mix

[@dailywisdom1995]

This stuff is great, but with a bit more guitar sound it would be better

[@RedCap-vz1dw]

Northlane listened to Armin Van Buuren and said "hold me beer"

[@thepowerofmyth]

Vocals sound like erra a lil. Great track

[@Strike1stCobraKaiTV]

"our new single is out now". Me: Looking at apple music... no its not.

[@frantheravenfire]

Not my favorite Northlane song I’ve heard, but happy they’re staying in this direction. Probably would’ve given the song the same rating lmao 🤣

[@styxxhs3010]

the ending was my favorite part of this song and video.. but its not making my ass wet.. so.. moving on.. thanks for letting us know about this tho birb..

[@theopinson3851]

IMO the vocals are way too reverbed and pushed back in the mix. I kept waiting for the song to start lol. I seriously thought it was doing a lowfi start at first and then the chorus hit and I was like wait…this is the song?

[@michalgabri8658]

Mix Deftones Korn end Linkin Park:)

[@Engineer_Heathen]

I loved alien and obsidian, but i wasn't a big fan of this. Bit too repetitive. Great vocals by Marcus though.

[@richard6200]

this song is better than some song on that album

[@ShanobyKin]

Song is good... but imo... way too same and long? Personally need more switch up or shorter version. But great track.

[@thinkstrong280]

new northlane (alien and obsid) is the best. old northlane was too metalcore, boring, the same old. The best music will also be genre-less. Full band instrumentation whether digital or not. Keys, strings, synths, drums, guitar, bass, electronic components. No genre, just good music.

[@MrMickeynico]

I'm one of the people that don't like this song. For me it was just disappointing. And I like soft music but something about this song just didn't speak to me ya know?

[@1986reptar]

Ngl I wasn't really feeling it. Marcus's vocals were really good but the rest was just meh. I'll give it another shot at some point.

[@alechorvath2739]

Keep listening….it’s gets better each time you play it.

[@adecakaship2486]

I'll be honest, I skipped right to your review, because I didn't want to be bored twice in the same day. I know I'm being harsh, it's still far from being an "awful" song, but it's really not for me personally. I think it sounds fine, but I wouldn't go back to it. It could obviously change, but for now, it's a big "meh" for me personally. I still respect their artistic vision tho.

[@KenrickM]

You can’t appreciate everything in the song with just one listen.

[@adecakaship2486]

​@@KenrickMI agree, but I've been listening to this genre long enough to know what I'm looking for in a song and this not it. I'm glad people enjoy it tho, these guys are ultra talented and I'll still check out everything they release.

[@user-jp1vb1bp9e]

Yeah this missed the mark for me …. It’s a far cry from original Northlane … I get bands evolve but look at Polaris … fatalism was off its head .. evolved in a way but still to the roots …. Northlane …. It’s a no for me dog

[@zachmongoe]

Awesome chorus but kinda repetitive and nothing really stands out. The electronics and production is insane. Amazing vocals as always. Just nothing hooks me.

[@FLmetalhead]

I’d enjoy it more if they actually sounded like they were playing their instruments. Sounds all electronic.

[@styxxhs3010]

so the singer from that youtube tryout stuff is still lead vocals? im glad to see that.. hehe! but yea once that happened northlane almost stopped their screaming entirely.. so ive stopped listening to them.. for the most part..

[@powerliftergrows3576]

just not good like they have way better drops if you listen to clarity like those are some very very hard lyrics to top this song hasn’t outshine previous songs so its a going backwards in craft if you ask me
