    I am Northlane fan since Node, and I am really digging the vibe from their new electronic sound. I consider it as evolution and natural and progressive step forward (progressive evolution for progressive type of metal). When I listened to Node and Mesmer it felt as very modern type of progressive metalcore, but now I got a futuristic vibe from it, which is even better. So yeah, I feel like the band is ahead of the time now, which is pretty sick.

    Idk if some MetalBirb followers know them, but in my younger days i got real hooked into this Japanese duo called Boom Boom Satellites. They mostly had like a ton of electronic elements, but had phrases where they would insert guitar and bass. I know though Northlane probably came to these elements on their own. But i kinda wonder if they drew inspiration from them

There is a reason it's not well known to begin with, creativity and uniqueness are not welcome in todays pop music. And if they do it's typically because they give up their unique limbs to make more pop friendly music, almost never does a band benefit from a lot of exposure.

For the first time in a long time I am eagerly excited about what direction a band will now move into.

Northlane is endlessly phenomenal and I love the fact you're talking at length about them (whether I agree or not). Thanks man
