NORTHLANE RELEASE RAGING NEW SINGLE “CRUCIFIED”
Today, local metalcore heavyweights Northlane share “Crucified,” the latest single from their upcoming seventh studio record, Anemoia, out everywhere October 30.
The band have also just announced that Melbourne fans can celebrate the release with the band at New Guernica in Collingwood on October 30. The release party will feature an album listening session, a DJ set by Jon Deiley, meet and greets, exclusive merchandise and posters.
“Crucified” finds Northlane continuing the momentum of previous singles “Evian” and “CUT_it,” delivering a blistering exploration of polarisation and division underscored by raw aggression and crushing riffs.

“‘Crucified’ is about the collapse of civil discourse - the way every disagreement now defaults to attack, every conversation becomes a battleground, every difference of opinion ends with someone playing the victim,” explains frontman Marcus Bridge.
“Not only touching on politics, it's about the regression of communication as a whole: arguments online, wars, general difference of opinion. If you're offside, misaligned / we won't rest tonight / till you're fucking crucified. The instinct to go for the throat rather than hear someone out has seeped into every corner of life.”
“Crucified” offers the latest glimpse of Anemoia, an album executive produced by Jordan Fish and sparked by a set by UK producer and DJ Evian Christ. Inspired by the set, guitarist Jon Deiley began exploring how trance’s emotional intensity could sit alongside the catharsis of heavy music. The result blends Northlane’s electronic metal with euphoric trance, crushing breakdowns, drum-and-bass, jungle and pop.
Following their #1 album Obsidian (2022), Anemoia explores nostalgia for a time or place never known, balancing darkness with a sense of freedom and hope.
“There’s darkness here, but it’s not nihilism - and there’s hope, but it’s not naivety,” says frontman Marcus Bridge. “What we made is something that feels like it was written by real people living through the same experience as everyone else.”
Northlane will embark on their biggest Australian headline tour this November with the Anemoia Tour, joined by special guests After The Burial (USA), Cenobia and Above, Below.
Tickets for the tour and the album release party are available via northlaneband.com now.
