Words: Ellie Ward
Directed by Jason Eshraghian, Australian quintet Northlane precede their fifth studio album, 'Alien' - out tomorrow - with a new video production for 'Eclipse'.
“Eclipse is an attempt to understand the reasons and motivations behind the things my father did," explains vocalist, Marcus Bridge. "When everything else in his life went wrong, he took it out on my sister and I. It’s easy to say that he was just a bad father but it was a bit more complicated than that. Despite trying to see it through his eyes, I’ve promised myself that I will never turn out like him, as a father, a husband or a man.”
He adds: “I had a very clear vision for the 'Eclipse' video and Jason absolutely nailed it. To mirror the theme of the lyrics, I wanted the viewer to literally see the world through my father’s eyes. You see all the awful stuff we went through as children but also what led him to do those things. Like the Bloodline video, this will make some people uncomfortable but unfortunately this is a reality for a lot of people.”
Watch the video for 'Eclipse' below.
Produced by the band themselves, the album was recorded at Chris Blancato’s studio in Sydney, where Northlane recorded their first EP, 2010’s 'Hollow Existence'.
Northlane head to Europe and UK in late autumn.
