Northlane - Rot (Official Music Video)

[@matteobdrums]

I really love Nic Pettersen's style, he's an incredibly creative drummer!

[@mrobusto1010]

Matteo B You know Jon tracked the drums digitally for this album and then Nic took that and made them come to life. Not undermining Nic's drumming, he is an amazingly talented drummer no doubt. It appears, however, that the bulk of the writing process for Node was helmed by Jon.

[@DevouredByWolves]

Conspiracy Cat Holy shit a talking cat!!!!

[@1Sušenka]

Matteo B he doesnt write any of the drums, watch making of vids

[@AdrianGRIND]

Conspiracy Cat Jonathon is most creative person in Northlane :)

[@indefexe]

There'd be no Northlane as we know it without Jon Deiley

[@Eshkanama]

Im so fucking glad that Northlane got big. Good for them, they deserve it.

[@TheJakubini]

i remember when they both played small gigs in the sutherland shire. pre 2010.

[@mape7824]

you cant believe, i saw their first concert live in berlin. thats was a destroying programm, never see deadlier moshpits like these days....

[@danielsimpson3808]

how does that happen? northlane been around before in hearts wake and took them on tour? much the bigger band. dont understand how anyone can like metalcore and know in hearts wake but not Nortlane haha

[@ClubMiata]

What ya think about them now?

[@Lvcifxrr]

@@ClubMiataI stopped listening when Adrian left. Not saying what they are now is terrible or bad. But discoveries and singularity is untouchable. Really hoping Adrian gets back in the scene.

[@skylarlysaker948]

CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS 7 YEARS OLD. I remember intently waiting for this album to come out.

[@eldubya7972]

Agree. I think that Node is their best work so far. Amazing piece of work.

god time flies. I hate always thinking of the past. Need to find a balance of past and present!

[@vagabontzeala]

now 8 years..

[@_EightySix]

@@eldubya7972 absolutely agree. This song in particular broguht tears to my eyes a couple times while listening on my way into work. Especially around 2:25. Then once that jam hits, it hits again at 3:34.

[@James_Farmer]

I saw them support Parkway Drive on friday night and i was really sceptical as to whether Marcus could deliver the same amount of emotion and energy as Adrian did, but he absolutely killed it and put on one of the best shows i've ever seen. I think the direction they're heading in now is great.

[@alferelli65]

I was there too, he completely nailed it.

[@mattmagee3144]

james farmer i think he is better live

[@ravenhopkins347]

james farmer He has a good style, this song is really good. The newer stuff I don't like, it doesn't have that emotion that this song and before this had, he's talented but he doesn't fit this band with how it's changing. Talented ass guy just not right for the role

[@At_water_band]

Still one of my favorite Northlane songs, Marcus blew me away when they released this

[@nickmallis542]

Crazy how it actually sounds even better live!

[@dustinbaxter4521]

8yrs old today..... Time flies when you're listening to good music 🎶🎶

[@ericcantdance]

Northlane understands the most primary business fundamental - evolve or die. And they took a huge step towards the evolution of their band. Some people won't like it, some people will literally lose sleep over it, but this is something I think Adrian would be proud of.

[@SintheticEmpire]

you are right. 100%. Unfortunately, I am one of the few who will and HAS lost a lot of sleep over this. I literally cut myself shaving the other day because I can't get over it :'(

[@sebje]

SintheticEmpire probably cut yourself while in a ball on the floor, intentionally, if you lose sleep over shit like that you need a reality check, sure bands mean alot to people but thats just deluded.

[@moloking401]

It literally goes against what they sing about.

[@benjaminamos8668]

I agree with moloking401. Their old songs told us to be who we want to be, not what other people want us to be. I think this song even means that too so it's pretty contradictory.

[@MrKillianDude]

The voice embracing the instrumental progression at 2:13 is amazing, and the voices harmonizing at 3:32 are divine. This song is terrific, they created multiple climax in one climax, this is so great, the song writing is amazing, and the lyrics are perfect to be interpreted in front of an audience.

[@LiveMaggot]

+MrKillianDude This fucking guy, gets it. THANK YOU; see; wake up, people; this isn't just a series of awesome sounding parts sequenced after one another; it's one whole song. Song-writing is top.

[@loktoppoppins]

[@TylerJ2000]

+loktoppoppins 50 cent isn't even that great of a rapper though, like Night Lovell is better. even chief keef in my opinion..

[@AustenRayThomas]

Marcus Bridge is so badass. Never been a real big fan of Northlane but wow. This is such a great song.

[@captaincrunching1691]

I totally agree with that, but somehow people think this guy sucks ass

[@andrewdent918]

This is by far the worst thing Northlane have ever come up with

[@henrywylie8978]

His shirt is 3 sizes to big for him haha

[@chriscalliss5999]

im in exactly the same boat, ive never really minded northlane but they've never been good enough for me to think about buying one of their albums, this is something ill definently look at buying. this new bloke is an extremely talented vocalist.

[@wcarp4335]

Chris Calliss this is shit compared to old northlane

[@alexbeckitt5672]

"EUURGGHHHH HE HAS CLEANS THEREFORE ITS MAIINNNSTREEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAM SCEEEEENEEE SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT" grow the fuck up guys, come on, this song is fucking top notch. its just as heavy as old northlane, it just has more dynamics. and to me, more dynamics=better song.

[@s2thehammer]

this song sucks today as much as it did 9 years ago. Northlane peaked with Adrian, facts are facts.

[@ClosetoHumanMusic]

Marcus was the best thing to ever happen to this band. Such an incredible talent.

[@leandroantelo7154]

fakts

[@aldente1411]

I still find myself listening to Discoveries and Singularities more than their newer stuff, not that it's bad, but Adrian's vocals were more powerful.

[@ClosetoHumanMusic]

@@aldente1411 I couldn't disagree more. Adrian's vocals weren't as controlled or deliberate. Marcus always comes across as being 100% in control of his voice which makes it that much more powerful IMHO.

[@aldente1411]

@@ClosetoHumanMusic nah Marcus fills bars with too many words because the lyrics were prewritten for him. Adrian's lyrical content was from the heart, causing his timing and word placement to suit the tracks a lot more. The tonality of his voice in general was superior, too, much less raspy and whiny than Marcus.

[@ClosetoHumanMusic]

@@aldente1411 That's fine. We're all welcome to our opinions. Personally, Northlane didn't click for me until Marcus joined.

[@tonytucka]

Man it’s 2024 and this song still goes HARD af!! This song is what introduced me to Northlane 💯💯

[@connerpollani4033]

One of my first but i was late to the party, life and all. Bless them for this badass shit. Echo chamber and Cypher drew me in.

[@lengthylad]

I think this sounds better than the album/rerecorded version. Am I the only one?

[@outofthebloom9546]

I agree dude

[@Scorge120]

yeah, the album mix was meant to be more organic and less processed... therefore less heavy and in your face typical of modern metal mixes. 2:28 is way more brutal in this version, but I like both versions... cool that they did two entirely different mixes

[@TheJessovski]

i couldn't disagree anymore, my peers and i absolutely hated this song on this release, everything changed when i heard the album version and it became one of my favourite songs for a while there..

[@DLT0807]

It's a toss-up. Marcus's vocals are incredible on the album version. But I like the instrumentals on this one. Not surprisingly it sounds great when you try to mix them together XD

[@ben_angel]

How is it different??

[@matthewatta586]

If a band is exploring more musical styles it doesn't mean they are selling out. Actually they have barely changed at all. The vocals are different. Thats pretty much it. For fucks sake! Everybody is freaking out cause "they are so mainstream now". I guess people can't except circumstances. Northlane is one of those bands that people listened to cause it wasn't as popular and then as soon as it is more popular, it's officially become too mainstream.

[@bernieorbust6104]

Unna bro, bands just can't win. People complain amity is the same shit for 4 albums now, and they complain when bands like northlane change. What do yall want lol

[@babyangel_ost]

i couldn agree more. but hey. pessimists just finds the things they dont like and let that take over their opinions tho

[@zlatoper98]

the truth has been spoken

[@dannywhitt6656]

They aren't even exploring new musical styles though, they just lost the lack of creativity. The lyrics are generic now, and the singing isn't bad, just doesn't fit this "sound". But hey, thats just an opinion.

[@xMimzzy]

zlaty kraljina sta ti znas papcino prokleta?

[@PhellipeDiaz]

This one has better bass and the "don't let the world rot" hit you the face better than the studio version.

[@wessteyrn7746]

is their an actual version of the album like that?! Cause the one I have sounds flat

[@TYFLOL]

studio version has way better production though, the drums sound so lame here

[@wessteyrn7746]

TYFLOL Hell fucking no. The studio version is flat. That production worked great for songs like Weightless and Animate but not for this version of Rot slaps you in the face. It's the heaviness from Northlane we all love.

[@TYFLOL]

Luffy Joke Central makes sense indeed, although if they changed the production here a lil bit i would like it a lot more

[@CollinHajduk]

this is one of my biggest problems with new northlane. its boring as fuck. and i think its only partly because of the actual writing. It's very obvious what they did to the album production wise when you compare this song to the studio version. the studio version goes absolutely nowhere, musically. And it leaves you with the biggest musical blue balls imaginable. I really hope they dont fuck up their next album. I want to enjoy them, but i just cant.

[@lowandslowshow]

7 years and it still stand that's the music video mix is far better than the album mix.

[@davidcurrie2972]

[@dancevdance]

Spot on, mate!

[@lightupthedark4831]

9 years now and this is one of Northlane's most powerful tracks In my opinion. One of my personal favorites that stands out to me in a significant way. Such a masterpiece!

[@SelenaSwitchblade]

His vocal range in screaming and singing is incredible. His screams actually remind me of old old dream on dreamer, which is fucking amazing. I'm so excited for northlanes future they have a lot of new potential with Marcus and I'm STOKED

[@Ru1Roy]

Marcus is really different from Adrian but Northlane were not looking for an Adrian copy, and I have to say that I had my fears of how the new vocalist would sound. Adrian is one of the best metal frontman I've ever heard but damn Marcus slays it. Amazing singing and amazing screams. I'll miss Adrian's dancing moves during the breakdowns tho.

[@DaniSeku91]

This song is way better than any of their previous releases. Good for Northlane!

[@MrJoe1928]

***** its because he didnt sing

[@bobjenkins6408]

MrJoe1928 really? he didn't sing? have you listened to the singularity album?

[@ZayneThyler]

***** Adrian couldn't sing, dude. The man was tone deaf, but that son of a bitch could scream.

ZayneThyler That's because he wasn't using safe technique. Sounds so brutal, fucks the vocal folds.

[@bobjenkins6408]

[@jasontheryan]

This is such a beautifully crafted song. Everything about it, down to the timing and tempo. This is in my top 5 songs of all time.

[@TristanEh]

I used to work at General Motors when this came out at 20 years old. I loved this song and was divided about Marcus. Saw Rot live in Toronto and I fuckin lost it. So glad Marcus has gotten so amazing.

[@CanadianHarrison]

We were probably at the same show, Phoenix Concert Theatre w ABR & Miss May I?

[@TheJoekerism]

Am I the only one that actually really likes this new sound??

[@linotheundead]

For me Marcus is ten times better. I mean, no disrespect to Adrian - he's a top dude - but vocally he just never hit the spot for me on the cleans... too nasal for my liking is all. NL's tunes seemed to always just be screaming for someone who can sing like a motherfucker, and M's voice just compliments their sound so well. Just an opinion of course, but I'm on my third listen and just loving this!

[@samharper1997]

You're not alone man! It seems that 90% of people who've heard it hate it and/or want Adrian back, but I for one am loving the new direction! And I totally agree with linotheundead, I too always thought that the instrumental side of NL begged for a kickass clean singer. And now they've got one! His screams are sick too, and I personally think his variety will open up alot of previously unopenable doors for them as a band.

[@Fuins]

nope, this is really good. i find it kinda groovy haha and marcus is great

[@abra-su-mente]

fucking loving it man, didn't think his screams were gunna be able to do justice for northlanes music but god damn, this guy's good. Missing adrian, but welcoming Marcus.... can't wait for the new album

[@JerSucks]

Sam Harper Honestly based on the like bar the people who don't like it is actually far less than 90%, in fact, based on those numbers, it's less than 5%. It's just that the people that don't like it spend the time complaining about it, while the ones who like it just go about their business. It happens all the time, the people who don't like something are way louder than the ones who do, so it always looks like something is hated way more than it is.

[@r0ttingb0nes]

throw back to my scene 14yo self in 8th grade nothing but bangers. 🖤💨

[@kabluwi]

It's still the same band, they still sound similar, it's not enough change for people to dislike them ahahah Marcus does cleans way better, I hope he shows more ability to have crazy lows like Adrian. So far I think this is my favourite NL track

[@jamesrabbetts5262]

Nah his cleans are far to similar to the "pop" genre within metal he sounds like he could be in Sleeping With Sirens or PTv (two of the worst bands in existence)

[@kabluwi]

I'm not a fan of SWS or PTV but they're not bad at all, they simply dont appeal to you. And while Kellin Quinn and Vic whatever his name is, both have very "girly" voices, they are good at singing. This guy sounds nothing like them anyway, that's a dumb thing to say, Marcus has a lot to show and his unclean vocals are great too, greater than PTV or SWS

[@myauramusic]

kabluwi well said. Marcus sounds nothing like their high pitched girly vocals. He has so much depth n range, its sad to hear him being put in the same category as those others.

[@landmine55]

[@NinthCinemaDown]

Was not expecting much from the new guy. The previous singer made the band for me, he had charisma, good style, and above all, incredible lyrics and perspective. While the lyrics may not be as good, this track is incredible. I don't know if he can pull it off live, but the new guy's vocal technique is far better, and it's very powerful here. Looking forward to the album now, which I wasn't before. We shall see, the last album will be incredibly tough to top.

[@unison_moody]

Lost in a valley of smoke, I lose sight of those I love. I cant live in this dream, wondering the world a lost soul. A shell of a man, frozen in a toxic trance. Unfamiliar reflection stare at me, these eye are not my own. Running from my demons in this endless valley. Show me the way, because I no longer know right from wrong. I know what has to be done, the smoke will settle the demons will come and I will be torn apart. Exposing my weakness the world will see, what I never fucking wanted. As I stare at your face, soaked in disgrace, what is the price a judgment of life, I cry out in this dispossession. Exposing my weakness the world will see what I never, what I never, what I never fucking wanted. They crowd around me, here to take their share of my mind. I can no longer muster the strength to face them alone, all on my own. They whisper echoes in unknown tongues, I refuse to absorb their toxic words. I've forgotten how to love, searching behind locked doors in my mind. Cast aside the fear of reality, face the fucking world.

[@IlijaStajic]

Stop living in the past m8.

[@unison_moody]

Ilija Stajic Nothing. Really nothing special about Marcus. It's a solid job but nothing special. The cleans are the same style like every post-hardcore band ever and the screams do not stand out a bit from others. Aiden Cooper would've been a better choice although I wasn't sure about him too. And the line "don't let the world rot" just sounds like "just write some lyrics about nature and how we have to save it" and repeated over and over again in this song.

[@severed92]

He can sing, he can scream, but lyrically the song is lacking and the placement of the vocals compared to Adrian's is way off. he isn't bad. but its put me off of northlane as the sound is now quite tame compared to what it used to be.

[@unison_moody]

***** yes, just one song. I'm waiting for thr album but my hopes aren't high. The fact that they've released this song in this state with the best musicvideo they've ever had before with a singer they don't even know that good who writes superfercial lyrics so far makes me really sceptical that the whole album will be any different. But I hope I can enjoy it...

Everyone moans about music being mainstream, if a band sounds like their genre that's not mainstream, if there are 1 or 2 bands that sound similar that's not mainstream.

Even if it was mainstream the doesn't you can like it or that its a bad song... Gawlll!

[@doingravy]

Perfectly put.

[@SelflessResurrection]

***** Guns N Roses is a terrible band Pink Floyd on the other is influential.

[@JaredPitcher]

Selfless Resurrection to say GnR aren't influential is just untrue. Personally, I dislike their music. But they were outstandingly popular, and quite good at what they did. Safe to say a lot of this kind of music wouldn't be the same without them.

[@SelflessResurrection]

Popular, yes. Good, no. Popular bands will always influence but usually the people who respect them do not write anything worthwhile either. If anything it probably influence hard rock more than metal music. Pink Floyd has influenced both metal and rock music.

[@JaredPitcher]

At the time, Guns n Roses was considered "Metal." And they still are, just not the same as what you may listen to. They've arguably been as big an influence to metal as a whole as Black Sabbath. You don't have to like 'em, goodness knows I don't. But it's unfair to downplay the impact they've had.

[@thejerkofwilkes]

Saw these guys earlier this month. There performance was awesome and they played lot of old favorites. The new singers vocals were nearly flawless. One of the beautys in northlanes music has always been to take you from that chill relaxed groove to a punching and powerful drop. They do it better than any band I've heard. Give the new guy a chance. :) he might surprise you if you go see them live. The spirit of old northlane has most certainly not died out. I'm very excited to hear more from the new singer and northlane in general.

[@zdf14]

Northlane is one of my favorite bands. I LOVED everything they did previously. As a fan, I'm not going to say I'm butthurt over Adrian departing, but I'm not going to say I love this song when I don't. Where's the power they had in their old songs? I'm not saying it's generic, and Marcus isn't a bad vocalist. But where's the emotional Northlane? They had the most uplifting songs, they had power to them, the instruments had soul to them and the lyrics had passion, especially with how they were sang. I don't even find this heavy. It's not bad. But they took away what made them stand out. This is song is NOT the band I fell in love since Discoveries. I won't give up on them, but I am disappointed.. So there's my two cents.

[@pack-]

Perfect description of how I feel

[@healydrummer75]

Give a Nobel to this man please

[@zdf14]

Kobe Queen I quote myself, "I won't give up on them"

[@krilaz]

You do sound pretty butthurt to me. The only good thing about Adrian was the message behind his lyrics and his low vocals, which i find really deadly great, but couldn't stand his fry screaming at all though.

[@zdf14]

krilaz Adrain's vocals weren't fry, they were yells. Straight throat screaming, resulting in his departure because his voice couldn't keep up with it. And no, I'm not butt hurt. I'm disappointed in one of my favorite bands songs. It's not the vocalist that's the problem, even though I would've rather preferred Aeden Cooper on vocals. Marcus is by no means a bad vocalist, but I don't think he fits their sound as well as others. My problem is the music as a whole, it seems like one big step backwards from where they were. If that's considered butt hurt to you, then I'm a butt hurt little child.

[@MrBrendan20004]

A message to anyone who is complaining about the new singer: CAST ASIDE THE FEAR OF REALITY, FACE THE FUCKING WORLD

[@CJ-Litty]

Can we all just appreciate the role Marcus Bridge has taken on? Its such a huge effort to fill the shoes of someone as influential, well written and gifted as Adrian. Just joining this band Marcus would obviously be in a "feeling through it" sort of stage getting the fit of it and obviously getting to the point where he can feel comfortable inputting to songwriting and music etc...but I personally think he nailed it vocally with this song. I had to listen to it a few times before I settled with the fact that its not Adrian anymore but i'd encourage anyone who has only listened to it once to give it another shot and wait excitedly for this new beginning and for the next level Northlane is going to take it to for this new album!

[@JuliaM-wb5jh]

I don't really care about that though cause if I need to understand it I can just read the lyrics haha ;3 All I care about in regards to this song is where they're gonna go from here, and I think they have the potential to release some really good shit

[@michealcoreyrobinson6135]

Yes! As I was listening to the song I'm just like why are the guitars so low

[@Sebgames666]

How does this get 1k dislikes? This song is so well put together... it just amazes me that people go on KZbin just to dislike videos. Like what's the point? Everyone on KZbin does there own things for someone out there with the same interests. There is no need to dislike a video/song like this. No room for hate.

[@anthonyrooks7557]

Man this was right after Adrian fidipaldes left. I still prefer them with him as a lead singer but God damn was this when they started blowing up

[@Zephr238]

7 years still one of the best northlane songs

[@Texansfan59]

9 years later still one of their best

[@markmarkussen8230]

Lets be honest, this guys voice is much more versatile, gritty and clear where it needs to be.

[@BlackVenomPromotions]

Regardless of how good Adrian was, This song is dope!

[@TheReaIJeff]

Yep!

[@AletheAce]

Cleans remind me of Periphery so much! His cleans are better than Adrians, but I miss Adrians screams and think they are better than this.

[@Ifilmtheclouds]

It's cause he looks like Spencer :D

[@YFZ52]

1:30 I really hear it as well...not a bad thing.

[@DregdenY0r]

Agreed

[@SigiKlar]

Dude I was just thinking that! Sounds too much like Periphery IMHO. I dunno I liked Adrian's pacing with lyrics better. He gave the riffs in their songs time to breath.

[@blueskythinking4745]

Doesn't really sound like periphery at all.. Periphery are like technical/progressive and northlane are more hardcore/progressive

[@dgv3584]

The fact that the intro bass tone is so gritty is incredible. The tones these guys have are unbeatable.

[@basicoptimalmouse]

Remember that episode of the Simpson's where Mr Burns tells some baseball dude to shave his sideburns? That's basically Marcus's haircut haha. The cleans and lows are sick but he can't hit the highs like Adrian. He'll get there with practice. Keen for what their future holds.

[@masongraydrums876]

I actually love where they're going with the new vocalist!

[@innovate8324]

Crazy to think where these guys started compared to where they are. Even just the progression they made from this single release to the Node release and Equinox. Such an inspiring group of musicians, such talented writers all the way from day one, and constantly improving. Love ya Northlane!

[@mcslug6550]

thank you all so much for picking marcus!! super stoked for more new stuff!

[@AG-lh8sp]

Just discovered this band and I like :))

[@DerekSanford]

3:08... Straight gut punch! Love it!! I can't understand why so many of you are complaining. Try being more positive and just enjoy the music.

[@alferelli65]

I absolutely love it. Better cleans than Adrian's so I'll be interested to hear the heavier tracks (his lows were insane tbf). Overall, very pleased.

[@DPCH203]

I personally like the song and Adrian wasn't the whole band so some of yall need to chill and get used to the fact that this new guy ( sorry idk his name) might be staying for awhile. I actually really liked his cleans and screams.

[@danielcolautti170]

Marcus Bridge :)

[@DPCH203]

Lol I didn't know his name till after I posted this comment

[@erikylimaki5691]

He's really talented. you could tell right from his audition videos that he had something.

[@supergompi939]

Video and song aged beautifully

[@richarddickson9010]

There is no northlane without fitipaldes. RIP northlane

[@CradleToTheCoffinn]

Get over it fanboy. Marcus rules.

[@coastcoretv1265]

Actually jon and nic write all the music so without them its not northlane. Marcus had some pretty fucking big shoes to fill but although hes probably not as good as adrian hes as good as they couldve got

[@JSTPband]

+CoastCore TV this dude complete kills adrian. This guy's got it!

[@coastcoretv1265]

Jordan Sartor Personally i prefer adrians screams, especially his lows but i have no issue whatsoever with this lad, hes incredible

[@Abdullah.996]

the guys who said marcus rules or he is better then adrian you obviously never listened to adrian

[@mummasshack1160]

Even as a fan of prior Northlane, this is brilliant & I don't care what anyone says.

[@jacquard2009]

best song they ever did. very sophisticated rhythmically , melodically , harmonically , lyrically with a great message, unique sounding fantastic amount of attention and effort was made..

[@pomo1697]

Who is still here in 2023?

[@ShadyRapture]

This album is still one of my favorite metal albums I don’t really care what anyone says.

[@alexkenley1]

present. just bought the node album on CD for my old truck

[@travishayton1183]

2024!!!!

[@Kdavid013]

x2

[@birko985]

2024 m9

[@Jessbh379]

**WARNING comment NOT picking vocalist sides** Whoa! This song is incredible and couldn't come at a better time. There is a lot of shit going on all over the world and listening to a fresh inspiring track from Northlane helps keep me on track. The lyrics are well written, i believe one of the guitarists wrote them so its good to know the message is strong no matter who it's coming from. Also being a Sydney sider this song hits home, i walk though Sydney city multiple times every week and I always see how disconnected everyone is. People ignore the homeless and the ones who have the courage to raise their voice on issues important to them. We are all connected and it's our responsibility to look after the earth and all of it's creatures including its people. Our time is now.

[@BramVanhooydonck]

The times I played this song in repeat... Are uncountable

[@DooDooDaddyTV]

Don't even bother reading these comments. You're just going to regret it immediately.

[@TAyLoRmillsthompson]

Amen.

[@EligosTM]

Literally read this and I'm done reading them lol

[@vikings-pistons]

owningall no doubt man

[@richardhutton4501]

Very right my friend, quite upset lolol

[@jessicaj7698]

I should've listened to you.

[@CrunchyFreak]

Marcus is the coolest man in the universe :^)

[@CrunchyFreak]

Nikita Ember Marcus and I went to the same highschool fam, we were in grease the musical together once :^)

[@LarzZz666]

has northlane gone to far

[@norushen]

LarzZz666 has science gone too far

[@AnaOliveira-tb4zx]

PoopSteve420 i just said "awwwwww" ahah (not that you care xD)

[@oIDaVee]

I toked with him a few weeks back at their show in Boston. Good dudes.

[@joconley2661]

Was never THAT into northlane bit after this, I'm hooked and this is my most anticipated album right now. I listen to this song everyday... It's addictive

[@jakobfel2]

Maybe it's because I'm not a major metalcore fan (I like a handful of bands in the genre), and maybe it's because I don't really listen to this band, but hearing both the old and new vocalists, I much prefer this guy's voice. His clean voice seems to have such a better range than the original one. EDIT: 2021 and I still feel this way. I enjoy all of Northlane's discography and have come to majorly appreciate Adrian's contributions to the band but my favorite Northlane album is definitely Mesmer. Great balance of the new stuff with their older heaviness. Oh, and I consider myself a major metalcore fan now lol

[@jakobfel2]

Especially 2:13 - 2:31. Wow, for this genre, that's pretty high and powerful. His voice, combined with the atmospheric music there really stirs something inside lol

[@camusic200]

He does have a much better range than Adrian. People are just not over him yet but I think Marcus has more to give to the band than the first vocalist... Then again, it's normal that people have their preferences. I can't wait to hear their new album!

[@jakobfel2]

Same here, I never thought I'd say I actually think I might want to buy a Northlane album because I never really cared for Adrian's vocal style, but with Marcus, I may just have to look into it haha

[@52BLUE]

jacobjedi2 There is more range, yes. I still think that Adrian's vocals suited the style of the band more. Though I only have one song with Marcus (being this) so he's still got a bit to do. Disposition is one of the greatest heavy songs ever written, in my opinion. A lot of what made the song so good was in Adrian's delivery. Don't get me wrong though. This guy fits the bill better than anybody else could have when Adrian left but I felt they had a more original sound with their previous vocalist.

[@jakobfel2]

I tried listening to a few Adrian-era albums and I just can't get into it. People say Marcus sounds too mainstream but Adrian sound even more mainstream to my ears. Guess that's just me and the fact that I almost always have a differing opinion than the masses lol

[@beupinthis]

Curious who produced this song. Discoveries was thick and big from the level and tone of the bass and Nic's kit sounded huge back then as well. The whole mix sounds very thin compared to the last albums, i would love to hear the whole tom section starting at 1:59 through the old Discoveries mix, that would of sounded amazing. Didn't think i would but i'm missing the bass drops and consistant alternating guitar panning as well, It's a good song but nearly every song from singularity and discoveries had the little things where you would go back and listen to a song and your like damn, i missed that little voice effect the last time i heard this song or you'd find another layer of Adrian's high screams behind his low screams.... the subtle things man. I don't doubt that i'll find a gem in the future songs but this hasn't had the same impact on me as the first time i heard some of the other songs. I'll hold off judgement until an album drops but i'm not gonna lie - it's not love at first sight.

[@ovianbetancourt5911]

Agreed

[@liamkeesing]

This

[@WBzHeezy83]

He puts out a very original sound. His screams. His cleans. Yes its almost like a new band with a different front man. But he makes the songs his own. Great job Marcus! And Northlane! I'll see you on Feb 16th at showbox Seattle. Can't wait

[@AreTrees]

"This is our life we command it GO" That part is sick as fuck.

[@vladpetkevich9911]

I was one of those who whined about leaving Adrian but after this song I can clearly say it's high time I shut up

[@AdrianPain]

This, Kids, is what you should all be listening to. Not the shit the radio tries to play for you... or the 'popular' music. That is a lie.... This is music.... with purpose.... let your life have purpose!

[@flippenmusictv]

So good!

[@JonathanX95xboxlive]

My band's opening for these guys and Volumes on The Greater Than Tour november 24th :D

[@dylanlove3953]

I hope when you hear this song, you realize its true meaning. We have to save this world before it's too late, every little bit of change you can affect is worth it. Don't let the world rot.

[@skitahoe9]

Who is still here in 2024?

[@AreTrees]

I think his screams will change overtime, he should do more lows!!

[@AreTrees]

Their EP was so heavy they should head back into that direction!

[@lobuvies]

AreTrees yeah nah not happening aye

[@blueskythinking4745]

Ah what are you even talking about? Their Ep was generic metalcore they've evolved way past that you just want to be a northlane hipster

[@AreTrees]

Brendon stacey lol why call another good fan of the band a hipster? i was simply standing my open opinion, I love the opening of the song i hope they have more hype as fuckk parts like that

[@Panthalassan]

His low a 0:53 was pretty solid and its un-layered. I have faith that with practice he'll be able to hit that all day

[@angellionheart8415]

Northlane has done it again and won my heart,every song better than the last !

[@alecktracustica2010]

2020 still fire

[@UnskilledGod]

This is a great. I like both the old vocalist and this new one. There is no need to argue, the band is still as one. They have just introduced a new influence through their vocalist. Do not argue. But they could have gone to label other than Rise Records.

[@jordanc6352]

I think they r still with UNFD just they partnered with Rise to launch in the US, I think.

[@budschaefer7741]

They are still signed to UNFD, UNFD partnered with Rise so they could release their albums in the US

[@UnskilledGod]

Thank you for telling me.

[@sarahull5639]

The 'lane were incredible at the Limelight2 in Belfast, May 2018. Have so much love for these guys that they could never know.

[@mementomori2839]

The Devil Wears Prada, Volumes, August Burns Red, Amity Affliction, and now Northlane; Welcome to this group of actually good metalcore bands that have their own beautiful unique sounds. Edit: And Architects. thanks.

[@isaacplowman5132]

Hey you forgot Architects

[@mementomori2839]

Isaac Plowman I went to listen to architects when you said. Thank you kind sir.

[@isaacplowman5132]

You're welcome :)

[@leoaraujo8590]

Johari and JinJer(even though JinJer is not metal core) you guys need to listen these two bands.

[@samuelvandyke1824]

What about ERRA?
