║ ║
║ Perfectly combining djent and metalcore, Canadian band The Northern ║
║ stays true to themselves within a unique sound that fans have grown ║
║ to love. ║
║ ║
║ Founding members, Leo Valeri and Nick Papageorgiou were on the road ║
║ with their former bands when they got to talking about their musical ║
║ tastes and realized they were very similar. Although they lived in ║
║ different countries, The Northern was first formed as a project for ║
║ fun and in the beginning was not intended to be a live band. After ║
║ recording and releasing the Imperium EP, the overwhelming response ║
║ made it clear this band would have to be more than just a hobby. ║
║ ║
║ That first EP Imperium was released in 2013 (Self-engineered, mixed ║
║ by Doug Meadows of All Spark Studio, mastered by Joey Sturgis of The ║
║ Foundation Recording Studio) and was followed by a collaboration ║
║ with friend Kyle Anderson of The Afterimage titled æDigitizeÆ ║
║ (engineered, mixed & mastered by Meadows). The next two singles were ║
║ æReviveÆ (2014 engineered, mixed & mastered by Leo Valeri of Emperor ║
║ Studio) and æMatchesÆ (2015 - self-engineered, mixed & mastered by ║
║ Sturgis). Once the momentum that ôMatchesö brought started to ║
║ happen, it was clear it was time to switch gears and solidify the ║
║ line-up which includes Vocalist Nick Papageorgiou, Eric Leblanc and ║
║ Jordan Gallant on guitars, Adam Linka on drums/vocals and Gordon ║
║ Campbell on bass. ║
║ ║
║ The current members of The Northern have shared the stage with bands ║
║ like The Afterimage, Sirens and Sailors, Chasing Safety, My Ticket ║
║ Home, Everyone Dies in Utah and many more. Some of them have also ║
║ been featured on festivals such as Warped Tour, Scenefest, KOI Fest, ║
║ Skatefest, Corefest and Canadian Music Week. The band is excited to ║
║ hit the road with the new line-up and to showcase their current ║
║ direction. ║
║ ║
║ Once things were solidified in 2015, The Northern set their sights ║
║ high for 2016. The band announced that they had signed to Tragic ║
║ Hero Records and released the first single, ôNauticusö off their ║
║ upcoming 2017 release æSolsticeÆ (engineered, mixed & mastered by ║
║ Doug Meadows). Nick Papageorgiou explains, ôTragic Hero is a perfect ║
║ match for our band. TheyÆre a community of artists whose main goals ║
║ are to help each and every artist equally, from the smaller bands up ║
║ to the heavy hitters.ö ║
║ ║
║ ôSolsticeö will be out January 27, 2017 and The Northern looks ║
║ forward to hitting the road in support of the album. ║
