Northlane, Mirror’s Edge Tour, July 10
A lethal dose of heaviness comes to Boston from a land far away this summer, as Northlane return to North America in support of new EP Mirror’s Edge. The run, which features support from Invent, Animate as well as Thornhill and Windwaker, lands at Boston’s Paradise Rock Club on July 10. A new single from the Australian metal band’s EP called “Afterimage” dropped earlier this month, and it features Karnivool’s Ian Kenny. Here’s what Northlane Jon Deiley has to say about it: “Touring with Karnivool changed my perspective on songwriting by showing me a solid groove is more interesting than some flashy technical bit. Writing a good groove means you can exploit it in different ways while still keeping it interesting over time. Karnivool influenced Northlane by showing us that songwriting and nailing every transition live is more important than jumping around. We hopped on the Asymmetry Tour years ago and were still riding the success of [2013 album] Singularity when we discovered pretty quickly some fans just want to stand and enjoy you playing the music perfectly. I think that’s where our unhealthy hyper-critical evaluation of our performance came from!” Tickets go on sale Friday (March 22) at 10 a.m. local time.
