Northlane Drops New Track 'Welcome to the Industry' for Video Game Soundtrack
Northlane has released a new track titled "Welcome to the Industry - From Fretless - The Wrath of Riffson" on November 5, 2024. The song is part of the soundtrack for the video game "Fretless - The Wrath of Riffson," which features a guitarist battling a corrupt music label CEO. The game's theme, reflected in the track, playfully tackles the corrupt music industry.
Early feedback from fans and critics describes the track as "slightly light-hearted" and heavier than expected for an indie game soundtrack. Some listeners have noted similarities to Northlane's previous works, such as "Alien" and "Obsidian." However, opinions on the mix quality are mixed, with some finding it "flat" while others disagree.
This release follows Northlane's April EP, "Mirror's Edge," and marks another contribution to their diverse discography, this time in the context of a video game soundtrack. The Australian progressive metalcore band continues to demonstrate their creativity and versatility through various music projects.
