Northlane is an Australian metalcore band from Blacktown, New South Wales, formed in 2009. As of 2013, Northlane has released two full-length albums, Discoveries and Singularity, and an EP, Hollow Existence.

History[edit]

Early years and Discoveries (2009–2012)[edit]

During 2010, Alex Milovic was removed from Northlane after trying out for Thy Art Is Murder, then playing weeks later for The Storm Picturesque from Newcastle after a few weeks. Milovic was replaced by Simon Anderson. Around mid-2011, Anderson was fired from the band; Milovic subsequently left The Storm Picturesque and rejoined Northlane.

In late 2011, the band released their first studio album, Discoveries. The album was followed by the Discoveries tour around Australia.

In 2012, the band went to Canada on tour as well as to record their second album, also the title of the lead single which was released in December 2012.

In December 2012 the band toured with Byron Bay metalcore band Parkway Drive, Adelaide metalcore band I Killed the Prom Queen and Gold Coast hardcore band Survival. The band played in most major cities of Australia, however on 21 December they missed their flight to Adelaide and a replacement band was found.

Singularity (2013–present)[edit]

In January 2013 the band completed a tour across regional Australia with In Hearts Wake and Endless Heights as supporting acts, in places like Whyalla, Warnambool and Ballarat. They also played in Adelaide at The Cavern to make up for their missed flight the previous month. In most shows the band leaked a new song titled "Masquerade". Northlane played at the 2013 Soundwave festival and Pushover 2013 alongside other Australian hardcore acts such as Thy Art Is Murder, Amity Affliction and In Hearts Wake.

A music video for the song "Quantum Flux" from Singularity was released on 22 February 2013. It achieved mainstream success, debuting at #14 on the ARIA Australian Artists Top 20 Singles Chart in the week of 4 March 2013. On 22 March 2013, Northlane released their second studio album, Singularity. It went to #1 in the Australian iTunes albums chart, and debuted at #3 on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart.
