UPCOMING RELEASE: Norilsk - Gigantes Mortui

Posted by Hypnotic Dirge Records on Friday, October 3, 2025 Under: Norilsk

A new Norilsk album entitled ‘Gigantes Mortui’ will be released on November 7, 2025. The album commemorates the first decade of the band, and was recorded live in Norilsk’s rehearsal space with the current lineup.

Norilsk has become a full band many years ago, and the current lineup has been steady since Tom Hansen and Matt MacIvor joined the fold, respectively in 2016 and 2017. As the band was marking its 10th anniversary in 2024, ‘Giganges Mortui’ brings a new life into these atmospheric death doom songs.

The album was recorded by Simon Bouchard, and mixed and mastered by Topon Das at Apt 2 in Ottawa. The cover artwork was created by Timur Khabirov.

A first single, “Beyond the Horizon”, is available on Bandcamp and YouTube. The band comments: “We wrote and released this song during the lockdown in 2021-22, on the EP Beyond the Mountains. We recorded it again for the live album without having played it live previously, which adds to its frozen-in-time character.”

The album will be released in digital format, as well as in a very limited pressing of CDs and cassettes. Physical pre-orders will be launched shortly.
