Singularity is the second full-length album from Australian metalcore band Northlane. It was released by We Are Unified and Distort on 22 March 2013.[6] This is the last album to feature vocalist Adrian Fitipaldes before his departure in September 2014.

Background

After much speculation over the ambiguous viral campaign centered on singularity2013.com, many news sites were reporting the possibility of the music group We Are Unified running a new roster based festival.[7] The website functioned simply as a countdown but had many acts signed to We Are Unified posting online about it. When the countdown hit midnight on the morning of 21 February 2013, it was revealed that Singularity was in fact the title of the next album from the Sydney band.

The viral campaign created such hype for the project that fans were cracking the code of track listings hidden in a series of invisible cubes placed around the singularity2013.com website[8] and decoding details on the LP written in binary code on a magazine advert.[9]
