Marcus joined the band after a public audition which saw close to 2,000 people auditioning to become the bands new vocalist.<\/p>\n

“We are proud to welcome Marcus Bridge to the Northlane family as our new vocalist. Marcus gave an outstanding audition video and as we spent time with him we found that he was truly the best person for the job.<\/i><\/p>\n
While we had planned as far back as May to be releasing a single on November 21, it\u2019s been an extremely difficult process to make happen. The fact that we got this done in time is a minor miracle. We\u2019ve never had so much trouble and given so much time and attention to a track before.<\/i><\/p>\n
Six weeks ago, Northlane didn\u2019t have a vocalist and we didn\u2019t know where to go with our writing, not knowing who would be singing on the new material. But we vowed to find the most unique talent we could, and someone that could help us expand on our sound. Northlane has always been about progression, and we saw our situation as an opportunity. This was never going to be easy, but we took a leap of faith and made the only decision that felt right. And we feel the results will show you just how good our music can be.<\/i><\/p>\n
We can\u2019t express enough just how proud we are of Marcus, and how stoked we are to be making music with him. ‘Rot’ is only our first time working together, but It felt right. In March we will have a chance to record an entire album with him, and we couldn\u2019t be more excited for what will come of it. He\u2019s progressed out of sight since he came into the fold, so we can\u2019t wait to see and hear what he will be able to do given a few months.<\/i><\/p>\n
Now Marcus will be heading on the road with us, playing 21 shows in rooms up to thousands of people across Europe and the UK with Parkway Drive, before coming home to play to 3500 people at UNIFY. He hasn\u2019t really played to more than a few hundred before. Trial by fire is always the best show of someone\u2019s strength. We\u2019re really throwing him in the deep end but he\u2019s got what it takes.<\/i><\/p>\n
Check out this video we made of us recording ‘Rot’ as a way to convey our feelings about everything that has happened recently. And thanks for sticking by us through the hardest challenge we\u2019ve ever faced in our career. We wouldn\u2019t have made it out the other side without your ongoing love and support, and we feel stronger and more inspired than we ever have. ”<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
