Northlane drops surprise album

2017-03-23 by ian b. | 35 Comments
Northlane, in a risky marketing strategy, released their new album, entitled Mesmer on CD, limited vinyl variants, digital download, and various streaming services earlier today without any hype or advertising.

The band stated in a Facebook post that they wanted the fans to be the first to hear it, so they released as soon as it was done. This is the most recent release from the band since their split with In Hearts Wake last year, and their first album since 2015's Node.

Outa fuckin' nowhere. 3 songs in and I'm not terribly impressed though. Marcus really needs to come up with some stronger melodies. And the music is just eh.

I miss the huge atmospheric sound they had on Singularity. Gimme more songs like Worldeater.

Honestly a huge step up from Node. It's not the best thing I've heard, but it was a pleasant surprise

At this point their album art is more fun than their actual albums.

imo it's a lot better than Node. the first three or so tracks suck absolute generic ass but it picks up from there a lot.

I actually liked this less than Node. Guess I'm done with these guys. This was just boring.

so far my opinion is pretty much the same as the last album

enjoyable and well executed, albeit kinda predictable and stale prog metalcore/djent

Their first two albums are dope. I haven't heard Node but judging from the reception of this album I probably won't be checking it out in a hurry.

I like the tribute track but most of this just makes me want to listen to Singularity. band can't seem to write an interesting song anymore

@Steak Yeah haha, I can see how you might think that. I definitely tried pretty hard to give it a chance.. Dunno, guess it just didn't click.

Didn't really listen to these guys yet but the facebook statement makes them sound like nice dudes. Their choices for some of the locations on the europe dates are kinda weird though.
