Northlane - Discoveries

The album features founding vocalist Adrian Fitipaldi, who was Northlane's original singer before being replaced by Marcus Bridge in 2014. Discoveries was the only full-length studio album released during Fitipaldi's tenure with the band.

Discoveries was released through UNFD Records, the Australian independent label that has been home to many of the country's prominent post-hardcore and metalcore acts. The album helped establish Northlane as one of the leading bands in the Australian heavy music scene.

Discoveries is a progressive metalcore album, showcasing the djent-influenced guitar work and atmospheric elements that became Northlane's signature sound. The band, from Sydney, Australia, drew comparisons to acts like Northlane's labelmates and contemporaries in the international metalcore scene.

Discoveries has a rawer, more conventionally metalcore sound compared to later albums like "Node" (2015) and "Mesmer" (2017), which featured Marcus Bridge and incorporated more ambient and electronic textures. Many fans consider Discoveries the starting point of Northlane's evolution into one of progressive metalcore's most sonically adventurous bands.
