THE DROP
Northlane have dropped "Crucified," the third single from seventh album *Anemoia*, out October 30 as an independent release *, †, §. The one that matters: ex-Bring Me The Horizon keyboardist Jordan Fish is executive producer, and he flew to Australia to write in guitarist Jon Deiley's apartment for a week *.
WHAT TO KNOW
- Follow-up to 2022's No. 1 album *Obsidian*; written over roughly two years after the 2024 EP *Mirror's Edge* *, †.
- Ten tracks, closing with the title track featuring Dayseeker *, †.
- The record leans into trance and late-'90s/early-2000s electronic nostalgia, sparked by a set from UK producer Evian Christ *, †.
- Marcus Bridge says the song is about "the collapse of civil discourse" and the reflex to attack instead of listen *, †, §.
- Northlane support Dayseeker across the UK and Europe in winter 2026, including Brixton *, †.
THE TAKE
Bridge said they picked Fish because he complements their sound rather than bulldozing it * — a smart hire for a band whose whole identity is heavy plus electronics. Pairing trance with metalcore could go badly, but Northlane have been building toward this since *Alien*, and a lyric like "till you're fucking crucified" *, †, § suggests they haven't softened anything to get there.
