NORTHLANE

Alien (Enemy Edition Neon Yellow Vinyl)

Sydney metalcore quintet Northlane, release their fifth studio album, Alien.

Their darkest, most aggressive and heaviest work to date, Alien sees frontman Marcus Bridge reflecting on his rough upbringing and how he rose from the adversity rather than falling victim to it.

It was released on 2 August 2019 through UNFD. It was self-produced by the band themselves and recorded at Chris Blancato’s Studio in Sydney, although Marcus Bridge’s vocals were recorded at Electric Sun Studios in Arndell Park.

The album’s second single, “Bloodline”, shows the group’s continuity of slight departure from their metalcore roots and towards a more alternative and experimental sound, as established on their previous releases, Node and Mesmer. It also marks the group’s first shift into different genres, as they blended into the album elements of nu metal, industrial metal and EDM. This is the last album to feature their founding bassist Alex Milovic, who only appeared on the track “Vultures”.

At the ARIA Music Awards of 2019, the album won the award for Best Hard Rock or Heavy Metal Album, making Alien their third ARIA-award winning album.

At the J Awards of 2019, the album was nominated for Australian Album of the Year.

At the AIR Awards of 2020, the album won Best Independent Heavy Album or EP.
