NORTHLANE
RELEASE EXPLOSIVE NEW SINGLE “DEATHWISH”
ANEMOIA OUT NOVEMBER 27
Today, acclaimed Australian heavyweights Northlane return with “Deathwish,” a visceral new single and the fourth preview of their upcoming seventh studio album Anemoia, out everywhere November 27th via independent release.
“Deathwish” picks up where previous single “Crucified” left off, painting a stark portrait of selfishness and the destructive consequences of unchecked self-importance. Driven by layers of synths, soaring clean vocals in the chorus, and a massively crushing breakdown, the track turns the lens inward, questioning whether these tendencies have become an inescapable part of who we are.
“A companion song to ‘Crucified,’ but where that song surveys the landscape, ‘Deathwish’ zooms in on the individual. It's written from the first-person perspective of someone who is entirely unwilling to listen - convinced of their own reality, blind to anyone else's. I'm the centre of the universe / I'm blind to what you need,” explains singer Marcus Bridge. “The lyrics aren’t self-referential, but it communicates an understanding of the psychology well enough to inhabit it, and the chorus turns the lens slightly inward: am I the one that's cursed? I know it's all I've come to be.”
Executive produced by Jordan Fish, the idea for Anemoia was sparked by a mind-altering set from UK producer and DJ Evian Christ, which inspired songwriter/guitarist Jon Deiley to explore how trance - in all its emotional intensity and physical scale - could work naturally with guitars and the catharsis of heavy music. Throughout the album, Northlane’s hallmark electronic metal takes on many forms, shapeshifting through euphoric trance, seismic breakdowns, brain-bending grooves, drum-and-bass, jungle and pop, coalescing into Northlane’s own sonic singularity.
