? ?MUSIC VIDEO PREMIERE!!! ? ? : Norilsk - “Weepers of the Land”!

Posted by Nick Skog on Tuesday, December 4, 2018, In : Music Videos 
Funeral rites and its iconography have a long history of weepers, or weeping figures – sad, heavy characters mourning the deceased. “Weepers of the Land” is a nod to the expression 'keepers of the land,' most often used in an indigenous and/or environment-related context, while referencing a less glorious side of history. The title song and concept is about what stays behind after someone vanishes.

The song was co-written with Joshua Cayer (Longhouse – bass/vocals), who is also guest v...

PRE-ORDERS: Norilsk - Weepers of the Land, Trails of Doom Norilsk Pack

Posted by Nick Skog on Friday, September 28, 2018, In : Album News 
We are now accepting pre-orders for the new Norilsk's mini-album, entitled “Weepers of the Land”, which will be released worldwide by Hypnotic Dirge Records on October 12, 2018.

Norilsk’s new opus should be viewed as a companion to last fall’s “Le passage des glaciers” as the material was written and recorded during the same time period, but with that being said there is a different feeling - seemingly of a more abrasive and desperate nature - conjured on this album’s material.
