ALBUM COVER: Norilsk unveils artwork for new album Antipole

Posted by Hypnotic Dirge Records on Friday, December 6, 2024 Under: Norilsk
In anticipation of the new NORILSK studio album, Antipole, we are unveiling the stunning cover art piece, created by Adam Burke / Nightjar Illustration (Loss, Bell Witch, Hooded Menace).


Antipole brings forth the theme of dualism, whether in the form of light and shadow, reality and fiction, or gravity and ethereality. Reflecting on the title track, the artwork depicts a portal connecting different dimensions, and the pole star evokes this alignment between the heavens and earth, or, as the artist calls it, ‘the Way’. 

NORILSK is a death-doom band formed in 2012 in Canada. It released its first full length album, The Idea of North, on Hypnotic Dirge Records in 2015. Ten years later, the stars align once again to bring forth the next chapter in the band’s discography.

Antipole will be released on February 7, 2025, and pre-orders will launch on December 13.
