Northlane have returned with new single ‘Rot’, their first release with new frontman Marcus Bridge.  With guests: Like Moths to Flames, In Hearts Wake, and Oceans Ate Alaska.  

‘Rot’ was written and recorded by Marcus, guitarists Jon Deiley and Josh Smith, bassist Alex Milovic and drummer Nic Pettersen.  Fuelled by the critical and popular acclaim for 2013 sophomore album Singularity, Northlane toured the world twice over 18 months before coming home for a victorious sell-out tour. The album received glowing reviews, ARIA Award nominations, and awards.
