1/3 doom, death metal, and sludge, Norilsk is a new duo from Gatineau, QC that includes Nicolas Miquelon (Damnus, The Great Russian Empire, ex-Kintra) and Nick Richer (Damnus, Doll, Outrage AD).

Drawing their inspirations and themes from Northern identity, isolation, and world demise, the band has named themselves after Siberia’s most northern city. Incorporating elements of sludge and post-metal along with influences from doom-death metal bands such as Thergothon, Saturnus, and early My Dying Bride, the band is unleashing a taste of what’s to come in their debut EP ‘Japetus’.

“Norilsk is definitely something I wanted to do for a long time” says Miquelon. “Revisiting old school influences with today’s perspective gave me the opportunity to exorcise the darkness within – and nothing seemed more appropriate as a breathing exercise than doom-death metal.”

Presented in a very limited CD edition and digital format, the Japetus EP is both an introduction to the band and a teaser to the bands future recordings. Clocking just under 20-minutes, the EP includes one song “Japetus” from their forthcoming full length album, one alternate version “Potsdam Glo” and one Voivod cover song “Negatron”, which is exclusively only available on the CD.

The EP will be officially released on July 22, 2014 followed by a full length to be released and to be announced at a later date.
