They’ll release 3rd album on July 24 and issue promo for Obelisk

Northlane will release their third album Node on July 24 via UNFD, it’s been confirmed.

The follow-up to 2013’s Singularity will be the first with vocalist Marcus Bridge, who took over frontman duties from Adrian Fitipaldes in November. The former singer was forced to step down as a result of voice problems.

Bridge, bassist Alex Milovic, drummer Nic Pettersen and guitarists Jonathon Deiley and Josh Smith will play Download on June 13 (opens in new tab) and have also released a promo of album track Obelisk. Hear it below.

Node is described as being “fuelled by passion and anger” with a statement adding: “Everything from the title and the lyrics to the way the band came together to produce their best record yet stands as a hymn to the simple power of human connection.”

The album is now available to pre-order on CD, vinyl, digital formats and in a limited-edition box set which features 11 7” vinyl pressings and instrumental B-sides. All orders grant instant access to Obelisk.
