Northlane announce new EP ‘Mirror’s Edge’
NORTHLANE have announced a new EP!
Titled Mirror’s Edge, the upcoming EP from the Australian progressive metalcore band is the follow-up to 2022’s Obsidian, and is scheduled to be released in April this year, via self-release.
Speaking about the upcoming EP, vocalist Marcus Bridge says, “it’s like looking at your reflection, looking at the past and everything I’ve been thinking about, or caught up within the last little while. There’s not much positivity in these songs, but it is about acceptance. Hopefully, by putting these songs out, I can leave that stuff behind and I can kind of find a new direction and something to be positive about on the other side of this mirror’s edge.”
Alongside the announcement of the new EP, the band have released a new song lifted from the upcoming EP; Miasma. The new song features a guest appearance from Winston McCall of PARKWAY DRIVE.
Speaking about the new song, and Winston‘s guest appearance, guitarist Josh Smith says, “PARKWAY DRIVE were always our number one inspiration as a band. When we first started, their DVD created a roadmap to success which we did our best to follow. At a time where every band was ripping their sound off, we chose to take our own path but instead emulate their work ethic, and for us it paid dividends. Over time that respect has flowed both ways. With this track being so heavy we couldn’t think of a more perfect guest than Winston. He flew down from Byron just after we toured together in North America and we tracked his parts in Jon’s home studio. His brute voice just tore the track to pieces and we were stunned with the result.”
