Northlane have announced they will be heading back out on the road this November for a very special run of intimate shows, returning to those smaller venues they haven’t seen since 2013.
Joining them on these cosy shows will be Hellions. Fresh off their own sold out headline tour, Hellions’ new album Opera Oblivia debuted at #4 on the ARIA Chart, as well as scored flawless reviews and triple j Feature Album. Rounding out the line up will be Sydney up-and-comers Polaris.
But that’s not all. Northlane will also release a Deluxe Edition of their critically acclaimed and commercial success Node. The Node Deluxe Edition will be available physically and digitally on September 9 worldwide. Featuring an instrumental version of the entire record, the Deluxe Edition also boasts a brand new version of ‘Aspire’ with Marcus Bridge, a cover of Tame Impala’s ‘Let It Happen’ recorded in Europe as well as the original single version of ‘Rot’. There’s also brand new versions of ‘Weightless’ and ‘Obelisk’ recorded during the legendary Ghost City Sessions in Germany where Northlane spent a week in May writing new material. ‘Weightless’ was filmed and packaged into awesome interactive 360 video which can be viewed below.
“It’s been a whirlwind 12 months since Node was released and to celebrate we are very excited about the re-issue. We’ve included the much sought after instrumental version of the entire record as well as some exciting bonus tracks including the awesome live studio session we did at Ghost City Studios in Germany. The live recordings of these songs captured a unique energy that we haven’t yet been able to recreate in a studio environment, definitely something unmissable for fans of our live show,” says Nothlane guitarist Josh Smith.
Upon its release in July 2015, Northlane’s third album, Node, raced straight to the top of the ARIA Chart, debuting at #1 and landing them the ARIA Award for Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal album. Revered by media around the world, Node scored the coveted feature album on triple j, a guest host spot on iconic ABC television program Rage and two Blunt Magazine covers in six months. Alternative Press nominated Northlane for the ‘Best New Band’ award at the 2015 APMAs and they earned a second Metal Hammer Golden Gods ‘Best Music Video’ nomination for Node’s first single ‘Rot’.
Northlane has kept the momentum pumping in 2016, consolidating their largely sold out Node European tour last year with appearances on the European festival circuit, wowing crowds at Slam Dunk, Impericon, NSD Open Air and Groezrock. In April, Northlane dropped a surprise collaboration EP called Equinox with the best mates In Hearts Wake and slayed massive stages around Australia, playing to thousands of people on the biggest Australian tour of their career with sold out signs on box offices in Brisbane and Sydney.
Don’t miss your chance to see one of Australia’s most successful heavy music exports in an intimate live setting.
