Tells Northlane’s guitarist Josh Smith of this collaboration:
“Parkway Drive were always our number one inspiration as a band. When we first started, their DVD created a roadmap to success, which we did our best to follow. At a time where every band was ripping their sound off, we chose to take our own path but instead emulate their work ethic, and for us it paid dividends.
Over time, that respect has flowed both ways. With this track being so heavy, we couldn’t think of a more perfect guest than Winston. He flew down from Byron just after we toured together in North America and we tracked his parts in Jon‘s home studio. His brute voice just tore the track to pieces and we were stunned with the result.”
“Mirror’s Edge” emerged from a recording session held this past August with GRAMMY Award-winning producer Will Putney (also of Fit For An Autopsy, Better Lovers & END). Ian Kenny, known for his work with Karnivool and Birds Of Tokyo, makes a guest appearance on the effort. Additionally, the band’s former bassist/vocalist Brendon Padjasek is featured on the penultimate track.
Regarding the concept of the outing, vocalist Marcus Bridge provided:
“It’s like looking at your reflection, looking at the past and everything I’ve been thinking about, or caught up within the last little while. There’s not much positivity in these songs, but it is about acceptance. Hopefully, by putting these songs out, I can leave that stuff behind and I can kind of find a new direction and something to be positive about on the other side of this mirror’s edge.”
Northlane is set to hit the road in their home country of Australia soon, accompanied by ERRA, LANDMVRKS, and Banks Arcade.
