Northlane have revealed that they recently entered the studio with producer Will Putney (of Fit For An Autopsy, END, Better Lovers, etc.) to lay down some new tracks. Announcing those sessions, the group took to social media tonight, September 13th, to offer:
“Before we began the Monsters of Oz tour over in the United States, we flew over early to reunite with an old friend Will Putney, and we recorded some new music.
The songs were born from a tumultuous period for the band, but we took our time with them, and the way they’ve turned out has exceeded every expectation we had of ourselves.
Beyond that, we’ve been privileged enough to collaborate with some artists who’ve been elemental in their influence of this band over the years.
We have not been this excited or proud about a new creation in a very long time. A new era will begin soon.”
Several members of the band have since elaborated on those sessions in an interview newly published by The Music. As part of that inreview, vocalist Marcus Bridge commented on the direction of the new songs:
“We’ve cherry-picked our favourite sounds from Northlane’s discography. This new music feels like a refined version of everything we’ve done up until now, and a step into the future for us, finding even more new avenues to explore.”
Guitarist Jon Deiley later added:
“We have some BIG surprises in store. We’ve worked with incredible guests, some of the most influential artists in the history of Northlane. Having them agree to take part in these songs was absolutely mind-blowing.”
The aforementioned ‘Monsters Of Oz Tour‘ finds Northlane out with their fellow Australians in Parkway Drive, The Amity Affliction and Make Them Suffer.
