Northlane To Release Deluxe Edition Of “Obsidian” This Month

Northlane have announced a new deluxe edition of their latest album “Obsidian.” The expanded version of the effort will be available in digital outlets on November 11.

The band commented:

“We are pleased to announce that next week, on November 11 we will be releasing Obsidian Deluxe.

Obsidian Deluxe will feature all 13 tracks from the original record in the instrumental format. This time we will not be offering the deluxe edition in physical format, a 4×12″ would just be too much, so it will be released on DSP’s only, for your listening pleasure.

November 11 also marks a very special date for us for another reason, it marks the 11th Anniversary of our debut record Discoveries. Back then in our wildest dreams we couldn’t have fathomed just how far this band would take us. We’ve had an incredible career thus far, and it still feels like we are only getting started.

Thanks for being part of the journey so far. Australia, UK, Netherlands and Germany, We’ll see you soon. USA and Canada we’ll be back early next year too, announcement is not far away.”

Northlane Cancel North American Tour With Silent Planet, Loathe, & Avoid

Northlane have cancelled their North American tour with Silent Planet, Loathe and Avoid. The trek was unable to move forward due to visa issues.

Northlane commented:

“CANCELLED: NORTH AMERICAN TOUR 2022

Refunds available at point of purchase.

For Australian bands, touring internationally has always been difficult. It’s a costly and risky undertaking, but for over a decade we’ve managed to make it work because we love playing for our legion of fans around the globe.

The USA has always been particularly tough due to the arduous and incredibly expensive working visa process. Despite a sharp rise in application costs, we applied for our visas and followed the standard processes, but in the post-COVID era times have changed and our petition has faced unprecedented processing delays.

As it stands, the wait time for a visa appointment at the US consulate in Melbourne is 220 days. Yes, you read that correctly. Our immigration lawyer has literally scoured the globe looking for consulates with openings. We’ve explored undertaking appointments in both Indonesia and the UK among other countries. While we were prepared to eat the extreme costs to make the tour happen, in the end we just couldn’t get the appointments we required.

With options running out fast, we were put in touch with a Federal government official yesterday and they are being inundated with similar situations to ours from dozens of other Australian artists. Even though the department is doing their absolute best to expedite select cases with the US consulate here, our case did not make any progress.

Knowing full well that the longer we left this decision, the greater impact it would have on everyone involved in the tour, we unfortunately had to make the difficult decision today to cancel the entire Obsidian North American tour. This cancellation also unfortunately extends to the Canadian shows as just doing these isn’t viable.

We’ve taken our time to explain this in the most detail possible, so you can understand the impossible lengths we went to in order to try and solve it. Unfortunately for us this situation was unwinnable. We’d like to thank our incredible fans from North America, you’ve been patient since 2019, we trust you’ll be patient until we can make it back to play for you again. We’ve gone to the most insane lengths and done beyond our best. Our hearts are broken too.

In order to soften the blow best we can for the support bands, we’d ask if you could kindly check out their online merch stores and grab whatever you can:

Northlane Premiere “Carbonized” Music Video

Northlane have premiered a new video for their new song “Carbonized.” This track is from the band’s new album “Obsidian,” which will be released on April 22. Frontman Marcus Bridge commented:

“We need to start holding predators and abusers accountable for the awful things they have done. Time and time again, the phrase ‘separate the artist from the art’ is used to discount and deflect the damage these people — often men in a position of power — have inflicted on those around them. Whether it’s manipulating minors or putting a hit out on your wife, it shocks me that fans will forget all about it because their latest track is really heavy. Stand with the victims, not the artists continuing their careers as if nothing ever happened. This song is a reminder.”

Northlane Delay Release Of New Album “Obsidian”

Northlane’s new album, “Obsidian,” has been delayed until April 22. The band commented:

“We’ve made the difficult decision to push back our release date due to ongoing supply chain issues affecting everything from vinyl to merch. We want to ensure everyone who has supported us directly by preordering ‘Obsidian‘ will hear this album for the first time in the format they intended. ‘Obsidian‘ will now be released on April 22″

Northlane Premiere New Song “Plenty”

Northlane have premiered a new song titled “Plenty.” This track is from the band’s new album “Obsidian,” which will be released on April 1. Frontman Marcus Bridge commented:

“’Plenty’ is a song of pessimism and looks at the idea of reincarnation. As we watch the world deteriorate day by day, it becomes harder to see a way out and begs the question: If I was to start again from the beginning, if I could have a fresh start, would I take that opportunity? At this stage, I’ve had plenty.”
