“Carbonized” is a vital song that demands abusers and predators be held accountable. Driven by a visceral performance from frontman Marcus Bridge, you can feel his primal growl hunting offenders out of the shadows and into the harsh light of day to finally face their reckoning. “Carbonized” is ugly and confronting — and that’s the point.
“We need to start holding predators and abusers accountable for the awful things they have done,” Bridge says. “Time and time again, the phrase ‘separate the artist from the art’ is used to discount and deflect the damage these people — often men in a position of power — have inflicted on those around them. Whether it’s manipulating minors or putting a hit out on your wife, it shocks me that fans will forget all about it because their latest track is really heavy. Stand with the victims, not the artists continuing their careers as if nothing ever happened. This song is a reminder.”
“Carbonized” follows the release of “Echo Chamber” and “Plenty.”
The release of Obsidian will mark an important milestone for Northlane as the band’s first self-released record. Forging ahead as a wholly independent entity, Northlane have shunned machinations of the music industry to take complete control of their career. They recently took another step forward by launching their Worldeaters Patreon with the top tier selling out in just 24 hours.
