Northlane release new song ‘Vultures’

NORTHLANE have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Vultures, is the latest single from the Aussie metallers and arrives on the back of last year’s Mesmer. The new track showcases the band at their aggressive best.

The band returned to their roots in Western Sydney and recorded the instruments at Chris Blancato’s studio (the same place they recorded the instruments for Hollow Existence and the single Rot) with vocals laid down at Electric Sun Studios with Dave Petrovic (where Discoveries was recorded). The band also introduced some new faces into the recording process with Drew Fulk (MOTIONLESS IN WHITE, POP EVIL) co-producing the track with the band and mixing handled by Adam “Nolly” Getgood (PERIPHERY).

Speaking about the new song, vocalist Marcus Bridge says, “the main message is not having to live up to someone’s expectations or live within someone’s idea of what you should be. It stems from a built-up number of things over the last few years that comes with people expecting what we are supposed to sound like as a band since I’ve come on board. A lot of that stuff that has given us this feeling to want to talk about it. It’s important to be true to yourself and not let anyone mould you in a way that isn’t the way you want to be. Just being able to talk about this subject at a point in time now where I see NORTHLANE as being our band now, I don’t feel like the new guy anymore. It feels like we are finally doing us and it’s all feeling a lot more natural.”
