Norilsk is a Canadian doom/death/post-metal band formed in 2012 and named after the city of Norilsk located in Siberia and known as the world’s northernmost city. A region that’s covered in snow and darkness for most of the year. “Weepers Of The Land” is Norilsk’s third album, released through Canadian record label Hypnotic Dirge Records who, in the past, also worked with our fellow Belgian doomers called Marche Fun�...

Iets meer dan een jaar nadat Weepers Of The Land uitgekomen is bereikt ie dan eindelijk de burelen van Lords Of Metal. Dit Canadese gezelschap brengt ons prima uitgevoerde doom welke elementen uit black metal, sludge, death metal en post metal. Prijsnummer is voor mij de titletrack Weepers Of The Land. Vreemde eend echter in de doombijt hier is toch wel de cover van singer/songwriter Mylene Farmers haar deuntje Tomber 7 Fois. Op een of ...

Weepers of the Land’ is a weird album, in the sense that the band considers it a companion record to the 2017 ‘Le Passage des Glaciers’. It is the third full-length record for the Canadian band but could be called an EP perhaps due to its connective nature. But hey, we love the EP format anyways and all is well on this five track release.

Norilsk is named after a Siberian city, which might explain the fact that some songs on th...

Obwohl Norilsk eine Stadt in Sibirien ist, kommt die gleichnamige Band aus Kanada. 2012 wurden sie erst ins Leben gerufen, dennoch haben sie schon eine EP und drei reguläre Alben draußen. Ihre Musik auf dieser Digipack-CD ist eine interessante Mischung aus Doom-, Black und Post-Metal. Es gibt tiefe, träge, Hippie-mäßige Riffs kombiniert mit kehligem Kreischgesang. Zwischendurch gibt es immer wieder gesprochene Samples, deren Ur...

Norilsk is een Canadese death / doom band die is ontstaan in 2014. De band bracht in 2015 zijn debuut op de markt, waaruit al blijkt dat Norilsk zich niet in een hokje laat duwen. Binnen de death en doom invloeden, merkten we namelijk ook streepjes black metal tot zelfs post metal sausjes op. In 2017 zet de band dat nog wat meer in de verf met een zeer geslaagde opvolger ‘Le Passage De Glaciers’. Medio 2018 kwam eindelijk een opvolger op...

Il duo Doom/Death canadese esce con Weepers of the Land in formato EP sulla stessa linea del precedente full-lenght. Le collaborazioni non sono mancate con la presenza di musicisti canadesi che hanno dato il loro apporto a questo lavoro di 5 tracce in cui troviamo la cover di Mylène Farmer, cantautrice canadese cantata in francese.

32 minuti per il loro terzo album in studio che come dichiara il cantante Nic Miquelon è il proseguo del ...

Norilsk is de meest noordelijke stad in Siberië, en ligt daarmee in een van de koudste gebieden ter wereld. Norilsk is ook een Canadese metalband, waarover ik eerder al lovende woorden schreef. Hun donkere vorm van extreme metal, met invloeden van vooral doom en atmosferische black, wist me op voorgaande releases prima te boeien. Weepers of the Land is het laatst verschenen wapenfeit.

Meteen met opener No Sacred Ground horen we de muz...

El grupo canadiense Norilsk presentó en Octubre un mini álbum de cinco temas del que os traemos un review. Concebido como una segunda parte de su anterior trabajo, “The passages des glaciers”, este álbum nos trae un doom metal abrasivo y visceral con temas como la tradición, la pérdida y el desplazamiento forzoso, haciendo hincapié en las personas que ya no están, en la ausencia.

La banda se presenta bajo el nombre de una ...

Norilsk è un città siberiana nota per le sue temperature inclementi, oltre al fatto d’essere stata fondata in luoghi particolarmente inospitali negli anni ’30 da Stalin per diventare uno dei famigerati Gulag.

La band che ha deciso di adottare questo monicker è invece canadese e giunge con Weepers Of The Land al suo terzo full length in pochi anni di attività.

Il duo del Québec si cimenta con un death doom dalle sfumature p...

Desde el norte de Canadá, nos llega el nuevo álbum en formato Ep de los doomers NORILSK, “Weepers Of The Land”, editado por Hypnotic Dirge Records. Un trabajo frío y gélido, que continua o mejor dicho acompaña a su anterior álbum “Le Passages Des Glaciers”, de hecho fue escrito a la misma vez, donde han contado con numerosas colaboraciones de otros músicos canadienses e introducen una versión de MYLENE FARMER, previamente...

NORILSK is a Blackened Doom Metal band from Canada. This year, they released their third full-length, “Weepers of the Land,” a five-track album that is more Doom Metal and Post-Metal than actual Black Metal. The overall tone of this album is chill. I can’t say much about the instrumental parts of the music, as they aren’t very original or memorable, but the relaxed and laid-back feeling they give off is effective. However calm ...

Norilsk is the northernmost ‘big’ city on our globe (in Siberia), yet it is also a band consisting of Nicolas Miquelon (also known as bass player for e.g. Damnus, Mortör, Kintra and Outrage AD) and Nick Richter (drummer for bands like Damnus and Outrage AD). Formed in 2012, the duo debuted in 2014 with the independently released EP Japetus. This one got followed by two full length studio albums, The Idea Of North (2015) and Le Pas...

Hot on the heels of last year's Le passage des glaciers, Norilsk are back with another album clocking in at just over 32 minutes. Once again, they offer some slow and crushing doom metal with mostly death metal vocals, though they veer into slightly more accessible territory here and there. In great Canadian fashion, they mix it up with English and French lyrics.

Norilsk play it slow and depressing, sometimes walking on the fence with f...

Dernièrement, lors d’une chronique récente j’ai déclaré être blasé de la déferlante de Doom Metal qui nous assaille depuis quelques années. Comme tout mouvement en vogue, il se fait du bon et du moins bon. J’ai eu une saturation auditive de qualité moyenne à médiocre de Doom metal reçu en promo. Norilsk, de Gatineau proposent ici un album intitulé Weepers Of The Land accompagnant leur précédent opus Le Passage des Glaci...
