Northlane reveal new single, "Dante", along with music video

Northlane have unveiled their latest single, "Dante." The track serves as their first new release following their album, Obsidian (2022), marking the beginning of a new chapter for the band.

Initially conceived as a dance track by guitarist and songwriter Jon Deiley, "Dante" underwent a year-long transformation to embody the band's  sound. The song's lyrics, delivered by frontman Marcus Bridge, center around the theme of loss and the process of grappling with grief.

"Dante" was produced by Will Putney, with whom the band had not collaborated since their previous efforts on Singularity (2013) and Node (2015). The music video was directed by Ed Reiss.

The band is set to premiere "Dante" live during their upcoming 2024 headline tour in Australia, accompanied by a lineup of special guests including Erra, Landmvrks, and Banks Arcade. 

Bridge explains his thoughts on the track: 

'Dante' is a song about losing someone close to us. As we try to process our grief, we are constantly asking ourselves questions, memories clouded with reminders of our loved one's pain, wondering if there's anything we could have done.
