Northlane release new song ‘Afterimage’

NORTHLANE have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Afterimage, is taken from the Australian progressive metalcore band’s upcoming new EP, Mirror’s Edge, which is scheduled to be released in April this year. The new song features a guest appearance from Ian Kenny of KARNIVOOL.

Speaking about the impact of KARNIVOOL, guitarist Jon Deiley says, “touring with KARNIVOOL changed my perspective on songwriting by showing me a solid groove is more interesting than some flashy technical bit. Writing a good groove means you can exploit it in different ways while still keeping it interesting over time. KARNIVOOL influenced NORTHLANE by showing us that songwriting and nailing every transition live is more important than jumping around. We hopped on the Asymmetry tour years ago and were still riding the success of Singularity when we discovered pretty quickly some fans just want to stand and enjoy you playing the music perfectly. I think that’s where our unhealthy hyper-critical evaluation of our performance came from!”

Mirror’s Edge is set for release on April 12th via self-release. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
