Northlane have pulled the pin on a new tune grenade from their forthcoming fifth studio album, Alien.
Dubbed ‘Talking Heads’, the metalcore lords’ latest single is…
“’Talking Heads’ talks about the insecurities and anxiety that come with growing up in a violent home with drug addicted parents,” explains frontman Marcus Bridge. “That trauma had made it difficult to express my thoughts and ideas in the past, both emotionally and creatively.”
He adds: “We started working on this song pretty early in the process and I think writing it actually started to erase a lot of that insecurity, helping me open up a lot more for the rest of Alien. I think it’s important to know that there are a lot of people who feel the same way.
“I hope with this song and the issues talked about on rest of the album, that people will start to feel comfortable opening up about their past, turning it from a weakness to a strength in the process”
You can catch Northlane performing the new track live around Australia this October on their Alien Australian tour.
Speaking of which, the band have just added a new Melbourne show to their national run on Thursday, 17th October, after the first one sold-the-fark-out.
They’ve also announced a bunch of VIP ticketing packages that you can check out right here.
