We know about many of the countries that are producing great heavy music like the USA, the UK, Germany, Australia. But what about Canada?

What happened during the pandemic to make Canada a haven for a growing hardcore scene that is about to explode onto the world stage?

We dive deep into that and many other topics with Canadien metalcore band The Northern today, talking all about:

• How the Canadian response to the pandemic forced a lot of artists into tough positions, leading to an emergence of the Canadian hardcore scene.
• The band's latest single Usurper, and how it's themes around being taken advantage directly relate to the band's previous record label.
• A possible split EP or album coming alongside another Canadian band.
