\"image\"Australia\u2019s talent is emerging thick and fast, which can be said for metal\/hardcore outfit Northlane<\/strong> who are back with their powerfully crated second album \u2019Singularity.\u2019<\/em> A perfect example of true musicianship, the record is bound to turn a lot of heads and for all of the right reasons.<\/p>\n

From ambient opener \u2019Genesis\u2019<\/em> boasting emotive percussion and vocals combined with haunting strings, Northlane<\/strong> set a powerful tone, leading straight into second track \u2019Scarab\u2019.<\/em> The technical structures throughout the album as a whole are enough to capture attention, combining the commendable abilities of each member to craft a series of consistently tasty tracks.<\/p>\n

Single \u2019Quantum Flux\u2019<\/em> directs the record down a subtly calmer route but by no means a less heavy one, with fierce breakdowns placed in perfect scenarios throughout the track, confirming that Northlane<\/strong> know how to work their genre without over doing it. \u2019Dream Awake\u2019<\/em> is energy-fuelled in part, transitioning between rapidity and peace and reiterating the solid musicianship that the band deliver.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

A real aggressive side of the band is presented in \u2019Masquerade\u2019,<\/em> quite possibly one of the strongest tracks on the record and confirming that Northlane<\/strong> are onto something special. The catchy, shouty choruses are a highlight and fierce lyrics are complimented with brutal riffs and breakdowns. Transitioning back down the slower, ambient route is title track \u2019Singularity\u2019<\/em> which features an interesting sample that is guaranteed to make you think.<\/p>\n

Northlane<\/strong> have confirmed at least one thing with \u2019Singularity\u2019<\/em> and that\u2019s that they know how to craft a bloody good record. Totalling at 10 tracks, there\u2019s little to criticise here and the band are definitely playing their cards right. Their diverse sound has made \u2019Singularity\u2019<\/em> a potential to be one of the best metal\/hardcore records that 2013 has seen.<\/p>\n

4\/5<\/p>\n

\u2019Singularity\u2019<\/em> by Northlane<\/strong> is out now on UNFD\/Warner<\/strong><\/p>\n
