Don't like the new vocalist as much as Adrian, he had a more unique sound to his voice. I don't like the screams at all- I get a very Rise-friendly vibe. Almost whiny? It doesn't sound bad. When I first heard Northlane, I wasn't fond of Adrian's vocals and it took time to grow on me. That being said though- Putney did a good job at maintaining a consistent sound and keeping it close to Singularity. I like his approach to drums, the tom bit was cool.
It's different. Sounds a bit like a mix between the style of the first Glass Cloud album and Periphery's stuff (with a Northlane vibe of course). Cool but different.
Reminds me of Keith Buckley on Hot Damn! more than anything scream-wise. He had that same pitched whine thing going on, though it disappeared after that record. I kind of like it.
Two tracks from the new album are out so far: Obelisk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM_w1vIHWQY Ra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3TUvTxLqo0 Anyone else hear that slate electronic kick blended in a few sections of Ra?
I realllllly dislike the production on the new songs. Just some very odd and off-putting mix decisions to my ears.
