Northlane’s best album, 2019’s cybernetic ‘
Alien,’ was their darkest, heaviest and most personal album to date. But as the band shared when they announced this new remix EP, you can’t take things too seriously all of the time. Cause where’s the fun in that?
Named ‘
5G‘ due to the 5G phone-tower conspiracy theory that did the rounds last year, at no other point in
Northlane’s history as a band could they pull off a remix release until now. It could only happen following and during the era of ‘
Alien.’ This is the band having fun with their music, letting others take the reigns and experiment with their shit. And if you’ll look closely at that cover art above, the band have even left in a handy diagram on how to make tin-foil hats. How nice of them! (Actually, a 5G tower was installed near my house and I almost immediately started receiving brain commands from Bill Gates.)
