This is absolutely fucking crazy. This is gonna change live performances so much. I swear these songs are going to make the craziest moshpits. I am 100% about this sound. Good job.
I got a 7 string but I have 59 gauge for the lowest string and tuned it down too Eb is that correct? Because something sounds a little off when I play it
@@dre_swish6209 that string is way too thin. I would recommend using a 70+ gauge string for that or having a longer scale lenght than 25 inches. I have a 62 gauge on a 23ish inch scale and it goes down to an A without being too sloppy. I hope that i could help you, feel free to ask me if something's unclear
Your best album. Hands down. No words to describe how much I respect you. You are priceless. ( Brendon was the perfect choice. A crazy talented bassist and really glad to hear him sing ). Well done boys, you talented bastards.
@@salvatration3704 I didn't suggest they were wrong, I was rather pointing out the irony of how heavy alien is, compared to their softer previous album, mesmer. You're right with how heavy doesn't mean anything, certainly. Judging how we feel about any album is obviously a subjective matter.

Go on.. ;)
just because it is djent doesn't mean it is like meshuggah
@@shamit5197 Please don’t be an elitist and let us enjoy things in a satirical manner.
This might be the heaviest thing they ever did with Marcus! I love this album!!
Dude it is sick so far. I'm going to see them later this month!
JayBangerZ Lucky you! They sadly don’t come near on their Europe tour :( Enjoy the show for me haha
I like Marcus and the bands previous stuff, but i really wanted to see what happened when they got heavier and i love it.
The heaviest they did in generel
@@MyDudeJZ with currents? I'll be at the shelter in Detroit! shit is about to ripppppp!!!!
I don’t know what I’m more excited for... Alien or Alien Instrumental
yes
Aliencore has officially arrived
Yes. Although people would argue Rings of Saturn did that.
But yes, this is on another level.
Christian o m e g a lul 😂
@@heromaker6801 A much more listenable, groovy, much less showboaty, less gimmicky level.
Aliencore has been out for nearly a decade, this is nothing close to it lmao you metalcore kids are fucking braindead.

See you there
@@nomadicstrength confirmed**
ATL was nuts
BLVE青 not wrong I just seen it
I wasn't aware that bands could use cable fibers for guitar strings.
you definitely should check out Fractalize 😁
You should check out the old Motograter :3
Yeah way to much reverb
3:05 hands down one of the best breakdowns I have ever heard
Gryllus it’s like they sat down and just studied thall bands
Try my enemies and I wolves teeth @2:03
check Northlane - Freefall around 2:46 ahhhh its good
You probably have not heared many breakdowns xd
You should give gazzete's dogma a try
That “SEVERED TIES” at 0:50 is oh so good
You can’t make me disappear
You tried to break me
But I AM STILL HERE
This album HAS to be listened to with both headphones in. I didn’t understand it at first but now i understand. Fire album. Freefall is my fave
Oh, thanks for the suggestion! Putting headphones on now!
Holy shit did Meshuggah take over the track after 2:40 for some seconds😱😅.... Northlane u made my day today with this track 🙏👏
That opening 30 seconds just shows what you’re in for when you listen to this album. Pure filth 🔥
Dealer turned down to 7
What a monstrous way to open this album!
That breakdown dope as 👌🏻
THIS is what I was waiting for for too long! Thanks Jon, Josh, Nic, Marcus and Brendon 😍
And Nolly ofc!
NOLLY NOLLY NOLLY
You know a riff is catchy when your mopping the floor to the groove of the
BBBUM-BUMBUMBUMBUM-BBBUM
This is just a kick in the face from start to finish and I fucking love it
Masterpiece
They know that a good song is not ended by a cheesy chorus, but by a BADASS BREADKDOWN
I ❤ Northlane
The tuning is so low I love it !!!
Drop Eb/D#, super fun tuning
Dude it's like the lowest string flopping the shit out of existence 😂👀
@@yuki1304 nah i got it to work on my 7 string baritone with a fucking 95 bass string. sounds like ass but hey it was worth a shot

This is the future of metal!
The switch up at 2:40 got me FEELIN MYSELF
“They are rage, brutal, without mercy. But you. You will be worse. Rip and tear, until it is done.”
I was expecting to have to wait until tomorrow... and then TH-cam made my day.
Bro same lol
I still have to wait since I'm at the August Burns Red, Silverstein and Silent Planet show lol.
UNFD is based in NZ. Which is 18 hours ahead of EST :D. Lucky for us they live in the future l0l

I prefer singularity and discoveries. Love adrian era
Whos been waiting all week for this????
Jordan Martinez Who’s been waiting ALL YEAR for this????
It was like waiting for Christmas 🎅😂
But now we have it and it's hitting like a gigantic God fist 💣🤜🏻
i waiting for this after month from mesmer release)
TRY ALL YEAR!!
@@M1XEDBAG bro same but the anticipation was killing me this week
takes me back to spineshank!!! Fkn sick song!
"I'M STILL HERE".
Yes you are, Marcus. GOOD.
Well this is a pretty solid album opener.
New album sounds soooo much like Dooms 2016 soundtrack
TRUEEEEEEEE
THANK YOU. That's what I've been saying!
Yu should write this on ever track
Yeah they can't find themselves. What a mess of a band
Djonga I now find myself looking up the soundtrack to doom because of your reference.. I was not disappointed
I love how at 2:35 it transitions from a meshuggah-style riff into some wild hi-hat syncopation only using double bass as transition.
Yooooo that fucking ending! the back and forth between lil Dennis and Marcus is fucking VIVID. I can’t get enough of this album.
The album is great. I hear a heavy Sky Eats Airplane vibe in this track. Great opener.
This better be in Cyberpunk
turned off the music in cyberpunk and turned on spotify instead. this song is amazing to do combat to
@@thorpemusic2019 Yess I knew somebody would do it
this may be one of the best songs this year...hands down
See freaking keen to see them!!! This song Reminds me of meshuggah with indrustial synths alot 👌🏻👌🏻
The funny thing is that the music media accused northlane of following down a softer path...
They will all fucking learn. Never give up on something you love. So proud of the profession.
“softer”
They clearly didn't pay close attention to tracks like this one that would make them want to vomit. Details matter. Yes, sorry about the references.
Because they did. Node and Mesmer are incredibly soft. They're terrible, but so is Alien. Being heavy means nothing.

Literally out of this world👽👽👽👽 savage and beautiful at the same time.
The synth work is out of this world (pun intended). I love it guys!
I N S A N E , i fuckin' love this.
Who's else realize that he said the "INFINITE POTENTIAL" in 0:33
You mean Infinite Potato?
@@weixianng hwhahaha
I came here to correct it to potato but the deed is done god bless
English??
Nik Falcon si señor
This song is brilliant. And the heaviest.
2:18 = nu metal = yes

Metal injection 2017: Northlane's new album mesmer is a prog rock gem for all audiences they really toned it down
Northlane 2019: details matter 3:10 "hold my messhugah bois"
reminds me a little of fear factory. i like it.
with good ol joe rogan?
This is hands down their best album. Tops everything else.
No
So this album got me into meshuggah...thank you a million!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAHHHH
0:00- 4:05 Absolute Filth
on recap, simply one of northlane`s best so far 👌
the groove at 2:18 tho omgggggg
This was insane hearing it live in Boston 😎
Tear my throat
From my neck
Wouldn't you love
A voiceless wreck
Pull me apart
Like I'm defective
Point out my flaws
Like you'll be respected
Strike out my name
With infinite potential
Speak for my fame
Like you're influential
How do you sleep so sound
With so many demons
In your head to wrestle
You fed me lies
I severed ties
You can't make me disappear
You tried to break me
But I'm still here
You can't make me disappear
You tried to break me
But I'm still here
You can't make me disappear
Keep running joke
You are regret
Always bouncing back
Just like your cheques
A monument
On hollow ground
Lived nine lives more
Then fucking sold me out
Cat took your tongue
But none of your credentials
Don't waste my time with your sentimentals
How can you speak without shred of sincere
You can't make me disappear
You tried to break me
But I'm still here
You can't make me disappear
You tried to break me
But I'm still here
You can't make me disappear
Point out my flaws
Strike out my name
Pull me apart
You fucking fake
You can't make me disappear
You tried to break me
I'm still here
I'm still here
You are regret
Wouldn't you love a voiceless wreck
Tear my throat from my neck
You are regret
Wouldn't you love a voiceless wreck
Tear my throat from my neck
Straight up eargasms dawg
0:11 me after a shitty day at work
Normally comments like this are lame but for some reason this one killed me. Thank you I love it
Listens to aliencore once*
Hisses like alien
Crawls like alien
Eat like alien
Head bangs like alien
IS ALIEN
Makes Babies Like an Alien
@@Random1nesss eats brains like an alien
YUPPPPP!
Breakdown is amazing like a full song!
cant wait for the instrumental
Under every signle song I can read a comment saying that the song is the best from the album. Does it mean that every song is the best on the album?
Marcus didn’t give a fuck whether or not the lyrics were grammatically correct, as long as the point was made clear.
And that, folks, is metal.
sincere?
This is jst DOPE.
my favourite song off the album
Thank you guys for the new tunes
Oh bloody hell this is heavy af 🤘
*YOU SCRAMBLING MAH BRAIIIN ALIYUUUUUUN*
This album is basically the Doom ost with vocals and northlane and everything, fuck me this is so good aha
They uploaded the whole album already!!?
It's August 2nd in Australia :)
Still gold.
the riff in the begining remiend me of Hollywood by Thornhill when I first heard it I was like wait a minute the electronic part sounded like that bit in Hollywood by Thornhill.
Marcus + Adrian need to get a feature with Loathe asap. Or vice versa
BLVE青 idk why no one has ever brought this up. Both voices and especially Marcus would sound superb with Loathe. Loathe is such an underrated band.
Loathe is fucking tight. This would be a dream.
No one stands a chance against Marcus.
ALIEN is fucking Masterpiece. No words. You are top tier now, globally.
2:18 is so damn groovy. And when the drums change up around 2:30 uuuuugghhh
Now that’s a banger
Oh my god, this whole time I was listening I was like wtf is this? I thought my brain had gone boomer mode but then I realized after 5 minutes of listening that I was listening on 0.25x speed
How fucking ripped are you xDD ??
i wanna be as high as you lol
That's gotta be the best listening experience lol
D# for life
bass-guitar is tuned like the guitars right?
Yes. Industrial baby
DEUS ME LIVRE
the old Enter Shikari ♥
Yeah baby!
2:18 ♥
that infinite potential line tho...
Ikr, it's got me wondering lol
U reckon its a diss on adrian?

Den mit neuem Sänger eingeschlagenen Weg konsequent umgesetzt....nach dem 3. Durchlauf läuft´s .....Daumen hoch
Holy shit this is so good.
Killer song daaamn
2:40 disgusting.
Honestly I was planning to go to sleep but after listening I think I'm good for another 500 hours.
0:10 when you step on lego
It's smokin hot !!
I know my coworkers have seen my face when the breakdown comes
Just found these guys but don’t worry I’m going no where 🤘
quee pedradaaa!
Fireeeeee
This is something fucking else. Loved it.
Nu eletronic metal music!
