Northlane's new single Clockwork comes with an accompanying video that sees frontman Marcus Bridge quite literally "running out of time".
Sydney progressive metalcore crew Northlane have followed up their experimental 2019 album Alien with a frantic new single, Clockwork.
Frontman Marcus Bridge explains that their new effort – which also serves as the official theme song for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege Oceanic Nationals esports League – reflects "the pressures and anxieties I felt as we jumped back into writing after an uninspiring year.
"I always want to push myself creatively but with life on hold and with no end in sight, I felt empty and lonely, running out of time as our self-imposed deadline approached."
