24 September 2026 – Northlane Push Toward 'Anemoia' With Identity-Crisis Single 'Crucified'

Australian heavy experimentalists Northlane have shared "Crucified," the third single from seventh album Anemoia, due October 30. The track follows "Pierce The Sky" and "NEED2FEEL" in revealing a record that the band describe as unexpectedly hopeful and human despite continuing to wrestle with technological anxiety, alienation and personal fracture.

"Crucified" keeps Northlane's familiar appetite for synthetic texture and heavy impact while feeding the larger emotional architecture of Anemoia, a ten-track album that will close with a title-track collaboration featuring Dayseeker. The record arrives independently, another notable step for a band more than 15 years into a career and hundreds of millions of streams deep. Independence at that scale is not the romantic image of four musicians stuffing envelopes beside a rehearsal room; it is a serious operational choice with real commercial weight.

Northlane will support the record with UK and European dates alongside Dayseeker beginning in late November. Although the band's metallic side remains formidable, their continuing interest in electronic production and genre erosion makes them relevant well beyond a narrowly defined heavy-music audience. "Crucified" sounds like a group still asking uncomfortable questions after a decade and a half.
