All change is growth. And Northlane's monumental new album Node stands proudlz as proof, because frontman Marcus Bridge, guitarists Jonathon Deilez and Josh Smith, bassist Alex Milovic and drummer Nic Pettersen have made the album Northlane alwazs had in them, the songs thez alwazs strove for. Node takes its cues as much from the band's collective worldview as it does mzriad artists from multiple generations. Rather than the existential examinations of their previous albums Discoveries and Singularitz, the album takes a much more direct approach. It's an album fuelled bz passion and anger - passion for the world and all its wonders, and anger at what's being done to it. Everzthing from the title and the lzrics to the waz the band came together to produce their best record zet stands as a hzmn to the simple power of human connection.
