Another thing I like about Northlane’s discography in retrospect, is how each album evolves. Each new album switched up very slightly but still made sense. Discoveries was unrelentless wanderlust metalcore. Singularity was a bit more focused and tapped in. Still brutal. Node was a young Marcus dual vocal melodic masterpiece. Heavier than more people gave it credit for, a bit more groovy. Mesmer may be the most well rounded. Here they preview the cyberpunk metal sound they’d eventually delve more into (most notably on the song: Verdian) Alien marks the distinct introduction of cyber punk/ synth. “Alien” is the perfect title. Because the album is kinda weird/ kinda futuristic/ and overall different, kinda like an alien. Obsidian marks a landmark shift in sound to something I can only describe as a trademark sound. Much more synths. And they dropped the weird cyberpunk sound. More singing. Obsidian, despite being utterly different than Discoveries still reminds me of each other. Northlane still provides that higher level thinking conscience vibe.

Dana used to sing a fair bit more on their Ground Culture album so I knew when Jonny announced he was leaving I knew it was in good hands. Dana's gotta be one of the most well-rounded vocalists in the scene now. Not easy to lose a singer like Jonny and keep the sound so similar to what was previously loved.

KOG was completely off my radar before Passenger was released, but on first listen it instantly became one of my favorite albums of all time in the genre. The cohesiveness of the sounds on the album is insane, never knew I needed "synthwave-core" until I heard them doing it so brilliantly. I know other bands have incorporated synths in heavy music before and its nothing new, but KOG really hit something for me on Passenger that nothing else has yet. Its a bummer to hear Johnny is no longer in the band, but I think Dana (and the whole band) did a great job on this track and I am excited to hear more!

As an early KOG listener, y’all need to understand, Dana did dual vocals on 3 full length albums. Over 30 songs. So when Jonny came aboard I was like “who tf is this”. To my surprise: he’d be the vocalist on the album that ironically garnered KOG the most fans.

for QOTD: I fucking love synths in metalcore. Before I got into heavy metal, I was a huge edm fan (since I was addicted to geometry dash lmao). Personally, Northlane does it best for me. Just the overpowering synth ambiances in the background layered on top of crushing low guitars is just so fucking awesome on Alien. For Obsidian it creates a more groovy effect. About this song, it's cool but I was kinda hoping for a little more. I feel like the chorus would be better if the vocalist used less autotune and went with higher notes on the chorus and the breakdown feels like any other breakdown, but props to them for still making a cool song even when johnny left

Man.. Passanger is easily on of my fav CDs of all time. I remember I had just discovered that years currents CD I believe. I had 2 rando spotify songs come on by KoG from Passanger one of them being nightshift and I dropped Currents like a rock the entire rest of the year. I feel like they were going for an industrial vibe in this one. I liked it but it doesn't compare to the likes of Side Effect, Nightshift, and Burner from Passanger.
