The Australian metalcore juggernauts are gearing up to invade North America with an unrelenting tour, showcasing their latest sonic evolution.

Get ready, America! The sonic titans of metalcore, NORTHLANE, are set to embark on an extensive North American headlining tour in support of their much-anticipated album 'Anemoia', which drops on October 30 through their independent label. This ambitious venture promises to unleash their electrifying sound across the U.S. and Canada, kicking off the madness in Sacramento, California on February 12, 2027, and wrapping up in Portland, Oregon on March 18, 2027.

Joining the ranks on this tour are fellow heavies ALLT, AVIANA, and RELIQA, ensuring that every night is a relentless barrage of metalcore fury. This tour follows their largest headlining run in Australia and a stint across Europe supporting DAYSEEKER, proving that NORTHLANE are not just resting on their laurels but are actively redefining the boundaries of heavy music.

For those eager to secure their spot in the chaos, a special presale through BLABBERMOUTH.NET will kick off on September 30 at 2:00 p.m. ET, wrapping up on October 1 at 10:00 p.m. local time. Use the presale code 'crucified' to get a taste of the action before the general public sale, which goes live on October 2 at 10 a.m. local time. Don’t sleep on this, metalheads!

'Anemoia' is poised to be a game-changer for the band, with its roots stemming from an electrifying performance by U.K. producer and DJ Evian Christ, inspiring guitarist Jon Deiley to meld the emotional intensity of trance with the cathartic power of heavy music. The album is set to transcend genres, blending euphoric trance, seismic breakdowns, and intricate grooves into a colossal soundscape that is distinctly NORTHLANE.

Thematically, 'Anemoia' confronts the concept of nostalgia for times or places never experienced, weaving a tapestry of light and dark that reflects the band’s evolution. Vocalist Marcus Bridge captures this duality perfectly, stating, 'There's darkness here, but it's not nihilism — and there's hope, but it's not naivety.' This blend of emotion is sure to resonate deeply with fans, as NORTHLANE continues to push the limits of heavy music.

With a career spanning over 15 years, multiple chart-topping albums, and a staggering 500 million streams, NORTHLANE have firmly cemented their legacy at the forefront of the global metal scene. 'Anemoia' marks a crucial step in their relentless pursuit of innovation, showcasing a sound that shifts the landscape of metal with every note. Prepare for a tour that promises not just music, but an experience that will leave its mark on the heavy music community.
