    Northlane didnt have chris Jericho drop a fake release date to cause a stir. Northlane didnt have their logo randomly glowing on electronic signs at different locations all over the world teasing something. In my opinion, A7X did more. But either way, both releases were ballsy.

    Well you're right here, but then again those who follow the band and joined the Facebook messenger teasing were very pleased and intrigued from start to finish. It took commitment of course and Northlane aren't huge enough to make enough people interested in that so the buzz wasn't huge but it was big enough in certain social groups like r/metalcore.

    While im still digesting this......I will say that i love how they just randomly released this album without any tease. I mean yeah, avenged sevenfold did that, but they are WAY bigger, and they did some teasing. Northlane just let it release. I think thats very ballsy (in a respecting way) of a band of their stature. Bravo, Northlane, well played, and good luck! \m/While im still digesting this......I will say that i love how they just randomly released this album without any tease.

    Pretty sure Northlane did more teasing than A7X tbh.

    Came back here just because of Northlane lol 4 tracks in and I'm bored already. Everything sounds repetitive to me and ever since Node, they sound like every other "Progressive Metal" band out there. At least with Discoveries and Singularity, they're distinct. Pretty bummed cause Northlane used to be my top 5 fav bands but I guess I've grown out of them.

    Can you honestly say the same after hearing the rest? Whenever I read "sounds like every other progressive band out there" it blows my mind because yeah if you'd focus on a certain instrumental or some aspect of each song maybe you'd get a tesseract or meshuggah or whatever vibe from some parts, of course, but the way Marcus delivers the vocals, the added ambience/synths and the way songs flow all in all either reminds me of no similar bands or I must have amnesia or some shit. I just don't get it, I feel like they've made something with enough experimentation and variety in the prog/metalcore genres that shows their future potential a lot more than Node did. Them going back to Singularity/Discoveries-esque sound would be a suicide with a fuckton of near "copycat" bands going straight for that sound in the recent ~3 years, some of them deliver, some of them are sub-par, but in Northlane's sense that'd be a huge regression and fan catering, and what they did with this one is a lot more impressive, especially with the sounds they made on songs like Zero-One or Render.

    Sometimes you just gotta man. I wanted to pledge WSS too as they're top 5 fave band of mine, but they cockblock third world for some reason.
