In April 2013, the label released Northlane's hit album Singularity via a marketing campaign that was critically acclaimed across Australian media.[2] The album debuted at No. 3 on the ARIA Charts.[3] Shortly after, UNFD announced the signing of Gold Record artist Dead Letter Circus,[4] and also announced that The Amity Affliction's albums Youngbloods and Chasing Ghosts album had been certified gold in Australia.[5]

In 2017, the label released Mesmer, the fourth album from Northlane, via a surprise release.
