northerFinnish melodic death/black metal act NORTHER is about to return with the highly anticipated follow-up to 2008’s “N” album, which charted on #5 in the official Finnish album charts. Entitled, “Circle Regenerated”, the new opus marks the first full-length with new vocalist Aleksi Sihvonen and will leave no long-time fan of the band dissatisfied and will grab you by the balls with its stunning blend of viciously infective hooks, epic elements and powerful riffs and leads. Now, the band allows you a first glimpse at their sixth album by posting a 4-minute medley of several new tracks, so click the link below which takes you over to the band’s Facebook page where you can enjoy the madness: www.rootmusic.com/s/norther
