Northlane shares music video for “Dante”

Australian heavy metallers Northlane have unveiled their expansive new single “Dante“, out now via Believe. The song is the first piece of new music since their No.1 album “Obsidian” (2022). Watch the Ed Reiss-directed video below.

According to a press release, the song was originally written by the group’s guitarist Jon Deiley as a pure dance track for use outside the band.

Vocalist Marcus Bridge comments about the track’s lyrical inspiration: “‘Dante‘ is a song about losing someone close to us. As we try to process our grief, we are constantly asking ourselves questions, memories clouded with reminders of our loved one’s pain, wondering if there’s anything we could have done.”
