Jon definitely seems to fit the description of a mad genius
As an originally older Northlane fan with Adrian and the Dream Awake days - lately I’ve really dove back into the band’s discography and studied it a lot deeper. Marcus is absolutely incredible, and his story, talent and skills are so special for the genre and in the music industry as a whole. As a musician, it’s so interesting to hear the drummer talk about how even though the parts on this record while less technical, can still be sometimes more difficult in different ways because you have to open up that other different facet of drumming that you haven’t before?….NAILED. Completely clicked with me there. It’s more complex because of the foundational roles you have to play with that drumming structure and it’s a completely different angle. “More robotic…Painting a picture with less colors” etc, yes - because you play a more simple beat to even further foundation that rhythm of it to give everyone else more room. Dang man. When Jon was also talking about Alien and how the different sounding record journeys led up to Alien, I felt like it made sense that this is where they were looking to head in a way. “Dark and ominous” cracked me up. So sorry for the long comment hahaha, amazing stuff guys for real.
Jon is the secret 🐐
Xen sounding good in the background 😎
IT really is
🤨
I completely understand the things Jon is talking about here. This is exactly what metal needs right now - songs like Eclipse. Love that dance vibe.
Yeah, but not a Skin fro Eclipse, if I wanted a skin I'll be playing fornite instead of listening to northlane
I think carbonized perfectly portrays this. It has that club metal vibe to me
Can't stress how huge April 1st will be just on the merit of Meshuggah and Northlane dropping bombs of albums! Love these... also 6:21 BRUH
Windrunner as well is dropping their second full length album. Will be a good day
And Monuments in April now too
Carpenter Brut too! Jeez Louise, what a day
I know you are probably not RHCP fan, but they are dropping new album on April 1 :D
@@NedeljskiH I was like so many, kinda dont care about them anymore but I could check it out, for old times sake!
The fact that Northlane is such a batshit crazy mix of sounds is what makes it beautiful to listen to. The juxtaposition of genres seem so comfortable with one another, it's a real credit to the menagerie of composition and production values each band member brings to the table. I hope they never change.
Lifelong drummer here, and I totally feel what Nic is saying/explaining. I come from a jazz and progressive background, but have worked with house/industrial music. It's a huge shift to go from flowing over grooves to being essentially mechanical/machine-like. But it's a fun experience. Also, how do more people not know about Northlane!!
Dude he was spot on describing Obsidian as an extension of Aliens overall sound...thats exactly how I felt upon hearing Obsidian.
Woah! New song at 6:18?? Just the instrumental but sounds awesome! Great update thanks guys
“Xen” babyyyyyyy
@@MetaImoon how do you know?
sounds like the song from "Node"
Thats huge
@@acrotary Obelisk but I cN agree it has those notes
This particular era of sound for them, the Dancy vibe is relevant and fresh, and I guarantee this particular style will sound astonishing live.
I can't explain how much I love this band
Great job guys, I'm so pumped for this album! And dudeee, I want to hear that song that starts at 6:18 soo baaaad!! Since the moment you guys teased that song, I've been waiting to hear it along with the whole album!
YES SAME. I'm surprised they didn't release it as a single yet- it's really really catchy.
@@BulletProofBacon Exactly! Hopefully there's still a chance of them releasing it as the last single before the album drops on April.
Sounds like it could be Xen 💀
@@Physyadelic I noticed on their website preorder that there are 4 singles available on 7” vinyl, so it seems we will get another song before the album drop.
@@nickemacio9794 We are, Carbonized drops on the 23rd of Feb
This band has made me so excited about all music! Can’t wait for Obsidian
Absolutely love the singles. The breakdowns in echo chambers are used every heavy lift in the gym. Already on track for AOTY for me. Let's goooo
These dudes are so insanely good. It’d also be insanely good if they played Animate on their next tour.
This album hit me like a brick wall. It fit so well with the dystopia that was the pandemic. I’ve never had an album vibe with my current mood quite like this did.
Absolutely love the Obsidian guys, awesome work. Thank you 🙏
these videos could go on forever for me
marcus still recording vocals with mattresses is the best thing ever
Nic explaining how he’s coping with the changing sound is alllll I needed lol thank you! I was wondering how he was doing with it cuz it’s a big change for him especially
Love Jon as a songwriter 🤍
I've literally enjoyed every single Northlane album, idk how they do it, they just are THAT good
Seeing the divide is very interesting. I'm really excited for this one as someone who hated Node and Mesmer and went into Alien with beyond low expectations, but ended up loving it. I wonder what the people who liked Alien dislike about these new singles, they're close in style.
If northlane’s music does not end up in a video game I’m gonna shit my ass. I literally picture halo, deus ex, or oddly enough the old Turok games. Such good images that this music produces
This is so fucking interesting; I'm a huge electronic music fan, more so deep weird smooth dubstep sounds, but also appreciate other forms and I'm so excited to hear the continued influence of your personal taste within this genre.
Much love, from Cape Town, South Africa
So pumped for new Northlane AND Thornhill.
I absolutely love this electronic/dark EDM/trance integration.
I love Eclipse so can’t wait to hear some more songs like that
Obsidian es el ejemplo de como Northlane ha creado su propio estilo y poco a poco va afianzándose más con el. I love u guys!!
Really cool and interesting process of creating music. Xen in the background is really nice, can´t wait for the release!
That's what I'm talking about boys!! Why I love this band!!😎
yeah the boys! bring the cozy house bangers
This is great guys! What an amazing insight into the creation of this album.
That second song is the one i've been waiting for ever since their teasers on IG way back when... honestly I don't understand why they didn't choose it as the lead single- it's insanely catchy and far superior to Plenty (and probably echo chamber too). Oh well. Can't wait for this album!!! Keep up the good work NL
These dudes are crazy good musicians!
Love the sound of this album so far guys! Can’t wait until you can tour the US again!
“7:58 what? And how? And okay!” Lmao I’m so glad he’s this cool about Jon’s insanity. This music is god tier
I’m so hyped guys! This shit is so good so far! I’m very excited guys! I love the techno vibe but as a long standing fan please don’t go to far far away from the heavy, I love you guys! Your music has saved lives mine included!
I’m excited guys! I came back to comment because I’m listening to Node, and I have to admit that sound is probably my favorite honestly, more so because of the beautiful lyrics and the hypnotic sound. But I love how that evolved in Mesmer. Those two albums had an amazing positive tone as well as insightful, I feel like our divided world needs node and Mesmer these days lol, but also obsidian gonna be insane and I’m very happy and thankful for the music you guys make, YOUR BAND SHOULD NEVER STRUGGLE YOU GUYS ARE LIKE TOP 5 best bands lol.
ayyy a studio upate on my birthday! cant wait for this record
Loved the electronic implementations on Alien. Can't wait to hear the new album!
I think the best art comes from artists who are in the midst of struggle and transition, at least in the writing aspect. I love that they're not comfortable making these new songs because it's in discovery that they find really nice gems like Cypher or even songs like Nova, and while those two examples may sound different, it's obvious they're made on the same canvass. Obsidian feels that way - very consistent but managing to sound diverse in terms of songs. I weirdly keep coming back to Obsidian now more than Alien.
I am dying to know what clarity sounds like, the first song of each Northlane album are always favorites of mine
and it´s fuckin 5:53 long..... Maybe it will be something really epic
I can tell you its gonna be epic and heavy. There's actually a teaser of that song on Jon's insta, posted all the way back July 31 2020!
@@janosszucs4031 you were right
So sick to see a Make Noise get some use those things are insane. Really stoked to hear the album!
Can’t even wait 1 more second for this album…You are my fav music creators!🔥
Literally every album is fucking great guys. I’ll keep listening till the day I go. Then sprinkle in some of northlanes first two albums before Marcus and it’s all perfect !
I'm so excited for this album, I love the electronic/techno sound
Northlane changes their sound and everyone else follows. They are trend setters. From the beginning of their career till now.
Love you dudes so much. Got some more merch coming and preordered the album. Can't wait till you come back to the states. I should have Said so much more when I met you guys a few years back in Tampa, but I was nervous. Hugs
Loved this diary video amazing songs loved the sound and the interview story in this video amazing details loved the fact that this music is definitely a banger of course amazing energetic enthusiasm guys amazing lyrics and vocal tracks amazing loved the energetic vibe on the studio too amazing performance u definitely rocked my world my friends amazing job love u guys 🤗🤟
Unreleased song in the background at 6:20
Is called xen
Thank god it's available!
Can we PLEASE get a Node and Mesmer remix / master. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They all look like they need a bloody good meal! 😄
Definitely hearing some Prodigy and Aphex Twin in there
Hyped for album
It's interesting to hear Nic's point of view. You can tell he's dialed back the drums a bit.
I really want to know what Jon has been listening to lately in terms of electronica. I've sort of fallen off the electronica train these last few years and would really like to hear some new stuff that helped inspire Obsidian's direction.
Truly has a talent for taking all the fun and excitement of a new album out behind the barn to shoot it. Have some excitement! I found myself at multiple points in the video going "oh that might be neat...oh, robotic/you don't like complex. Ok, so you are creating something dull, boring, and repetitive that only you would like."
Talking about electronic music and metal like it's something never been done before. Check out Sybreed's 2008 album Antares if that's what you're looking for.
Northlane is one of the best metalcore bands out there, they will use top notch equipement.
Northlane: 2:22 :D
The song in the background from 6:18 on...sounds like I should be playing Halo to...
I would like that from Obsidian, Northlane starts to have more EDM sounds.
Min 6:18 Xen?
Меня беспокоят речи Джона. В первом видео он сказал, что ему надоело писать риффы на гитаре. В этом он говорит, что теперь вообще не слушает рок и метал. И такое ощущение, что остальные товарищи из группы не совсем понимают куда Джон их ведёт
Слушай, ну когда они месмер выпускали, то джон в инсте писал, что уже тогда не был зажат в рамках металла. И несмотря на это, металла в месмере и последующем Элиене хоть отбавляй. Да и с 6:20 их новый тречек звучит очень даже ничего
Не волнуйся за это)
Я немного общался с ним в инсте. Он сказал, что просто слушает другое.
А если подумать, то если Джон будет слушать метал, то как он сможет написать что-то уникальное? Если в голове отложаться чужие фишки и идеи? Джон знает, чего хочет.
Меня больше напрягла речь Маркуса в конце, где он сказал, что Джон молодец и все дела. Но при это, не значит, что Маркус должен делать все что ему сказал он. Не делают ли слишком большую ставку группа на одного человека?
А если он решит уйти, то группы не станет автоматически?
@@SerGG404 боюсь, что так. Потому что именно Джон всегда был главным композитором их песен. Можно сказать, что весь Нортлейн изначально держался на идеях Джона (по крайне мере в плане инструментала)
@@maxikfedorov я конечно же всем сердцем их поддерживаю и очень люблю
Ну уникальная группа же. Видно, что парни живут ей, и не делают это ради одних денег. С чем у них сейчас большие проблемы ((
Надеюсь,что все у них будет круто.
И ждём концертов в Рашке пацаны!
Marcus doesn’t seem entirely content
Am excited about this but slightly worried about a sharper focus on techno sounding music
So Jon writes all the music?
Anyone know if they use any digital synth plugins?
so to sum Josh pushed his own agenda more at Node and Mesmer, while Alien and unpcoming thing is Jon's influence. cool
new song on 6:17
У них в инсте от 5 мая 21 года пост с этой песней
@@maxikfedorov ну дела
what's the song in the background?pllz
second instrumental?
i shit a bit.. lol but the album since these singles are fucking. Amazing. Especially this damn song
When I saw the thumbnail, I was wondering what 2002 Rivers Cuomo was doing here
Sad I didn't know the bassist left the band.
Lol, they contradict themselves in their commentaries 😂 One says it's similar to Alien, might even repeat some things from that album, the other one says the new album is different, never even heard anything like that before 🙈
PLEASE COME TO BRAZIL LOL
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
i'd prefer to just check out some clips from the recording sessions, tbh. I understand that this is your artsy phase, but some good pacing would be much appreciated
Kinda sounds like there's some creative differences tbh 😬
I miss the old Northlane
So Jon writes all your material? Is this Jon's band or Northlane? I guess I'm just confused as to this whole episode being about Jon Jon Jon when it takes all members to be Northlane. Still a huge fan regardless, just thought this band was a group that wrote as a whole unit, not 1 guy telling everybody what to play ya know
Agree, he sounds egotistical about it, the other band members trying to make excuses and say they like the challenge of doing what they are told but they clearly aren't happy about it. Tbh I have a feeling this will be the last Northlane album.
@@bonnyx83 nah bro. They're just getting started. They've finally found their sound and they're the most successful and popular they've ever been. Plus it's been like this for years- Jon has always written basically all of the music and they've stuck together.
That is Jon’s role aside from guitar playing. He’s written all of their albums. No doubt all the members give notes and rework ideas so they all get writing credits. But it is Jon’s strength and what he contributes to the band. He’s not telling people what to do. He likely records demos with all of the parts and everything gets reworked with the band as a whole.
Idk man, my bassist/one of two vocalists writes all the songs in our band but every member of the band just hands him a bunch of riffs, vocal lines and drum or piano parts and he arranges it cause he has a mind for that. The writing is more in the arrangement and flow of the track whereas the actual parts on the record come from collaborative ideas. Jon may write a drum part that Nic will then take and put his own flavour on it, or there might be a vocal melody that either he or Marcus will bring forward that'll then get a harmony from either of them etc.
Can't really judge a writing process based on one video. Mastodon have whole a whole series of videos for their album with each member getting their own video to expand on their process. This is only the second episode
@@bonnyx83 I’m pretty sure if they weren’t happy about it, they wouldn’t release the album lol
Great stuff now when are you gonna release real heavy metal music again ? Not techno style not hating just wondering are you guys done with metal ? And if not whens the next metal song coming 2040?
Blegh.
Dude.. commented this on the 1st studio diary as I was concerned and still am.. Is Marcus okay? The guy looks like he's been doing some naughty shit, get some pies in you bro, hope everything is okay
Instead of having the dude make it all and you guys just play over it afterwards, you should all sit down together in a room, with your instrument and do it the REAL way by playing along with each other and forming the song together. The fact that the other guitarist essentially contributes NOTHING to the music except playing it live is embarrassing. It's like having a conversation, you sit down together, communicate with each other and shift it in the direction you want to go naturally, when it's appropriate. You don't have some guy record a monologue of himself and then proceed to interject a bunch of posthoc drivel over it. This approach would also give you a different sound, for a better or worse, but at least you wouldn't be running into the problem of hitting a plateau in your sound and forcing your way around it, all the while behaving like actual musos and not disconnected from the process. Write this off as a hate comment if you want idgaf but nobody else in your echo chamber is going to tell you this.
Well nothing stays forever, a band evolving is always a good thing but I gotta say I'm not excited for what is coming up. Hope they prove me wrong !
Is it just me, or is the attitude of “I don’t like metal beats/don’t listen to metal beats anymore” a little obnoxious or ignorant when you’re in the position Jon is in now? They’re a metal band, and obviously they’ve gone more electronic over the years, but the overarching tone is metal, so saying you’ve completely stopped tuning into it seems detached and wrong. Plus it doesn’t seem like the band actually enjoys having to do all the shit jon wants to do. Dunno, still excited to see the new album since alien was my favourite, just hope it’s still heavy.
It's honestly an incredibly common attitude among metal musicians who have been writing and touring for more than a couple of years. It's just what happens naturally when you're *constantly* surrounded with it in your work. Doesn't mean you hate it, because obviously they're still writing and playing it, but when it comes to listening to music on your own time for recreation, the last thing you want to do is to listen to more metal. It's the brain just adapting to the environment it's in. And honestly its for the best, because rather than just regurgitating what everyone else is playing these days (let's be real, tons of copy-cat/generic metal and hardcore bands these days), they are inviting new influences into their psyche, and that results in genuine progression in a genre. You don't get albums like Alien by listening to just metal in your free time.
Its not being ignorant, it's being authentic.
@@ahriik I agree. I had a friend tell me to listen to different genres than just metal because it opens your mind up more when creating new music.
Hardly any metal musicians listen to primarily metal in their free time. Anthony from After The Burial and Phil Bozeman from Whitechapel both listen to rap to write lyrics.
Post Malone listens to metal quite often, so I get where you’re coming from. But to completely avoid metal all together like Jon said? Surely you have to pay attention to what your predecessors wrote before you, and what the newer generations write? Surely it makes it difficult to tour with other bands and help make a decision on who you tour with if you don’t even know what music they’re writing?
@@TheDandogable Yes, it's called Discoveries, Singularity, and likely Node as well. Three albums that were predominantly influenced and inspired by metal and that gave them a solid foundation.
бля мне одному кажется что они что-то типа новых Linkin Park?
Скорее Bring Me The Horizon
@@memoryman1988 не, для брингов они слишком попсовые)) бринги тож тяж, но все равно не то :)
Лол вообще нет. Ноль общего.
@@danila_gribochek_kovalev по-твоему Northlane легче/попсовее брингов? До 2010-2013 года еще поверю, потом у bmth пошла бездушная коммерция для малолеток, о чём говорят цифры на спотике и преобладающее большинство 16-18леток на концертах
I dunno, this is the first Northlane release that I’m not excited about. I did not like the singles so far and hearing that there are techno songs on this album makes me even less excited.
It’s gonna be ok homie give the songs some time they aren’t that unbrutal, imagine music that has a soft start but then it breaks into heavy that gives the heavy even more weight when it hits. My thoughts
Cool, go somewhere else then...
Plenty was way sick but not the power song
@@PleaseForgiveYourself That guy just giving his opinions without hating. YOU need to go somewhere else if that makes you mad.
Dude they did a Q&A where they said plenty was was 6.5 compared to the rest of the album in terms of heaviness and breakdowns so give it a chance
