After returning from tour, Norilsk’s Nicolas Miquelon barely has time to put up his feet and relax before we hit him with an interview request. Although he has nobody but himself—and his bandmate, drummer/fellow renaissance man Nick Richer—to blame for all the attention his band's been getting. Because Norilsk are a peculiar band. They’re the kind of band whose music demands attention, but promotes curiosi...

September 3, 2015

Quebec's doom-death band Norilsk has unveiled the second music video off their first full length album, The Idea of North, released earlier in 2015 on Hypnotic Dirge Records.

Canada’s Norilsk already impressed with their first demo ’Japetus’. I was very curious about the other new material by this band. This now has surfaced in the form of ‘The Idea Of North’. An album on which Norilsk shows there’s still room for new ideas within doom metal. When bands show they are redefining a genre an interview is always mandatory. Sing...

Norilsk debut album “The Idea Of North” left me greatly satisfied. This band is taking an interesting route with their acrid Doom Metal, welcoming both sludgy tempos and lovely Post Metal sections that aren´t lengthy as they tend to be normally. I caught up with bandmember Nicolas Miquelon and threw some questions at him. If you want to educate yours...

I love Canadian Metal. Why you may ask. Because I am Canadian, that's why! For those unfamiliar with Norilsk, they hail from Gatineau, Quebec. Playing a Sludgy, Doomy Death Metal style that everyone is really digging. I have not seen a negative review as of yet and there is a reason for this, they sound amazing! I had a moment to talk with front mand Nicolas Miquelon who is very busy promoting their...
