On October 12, Norilsk’s new opus Weepers of the Land was officially released on Hypnotic Dirge Records. Over the last few weeks, we presented advance material including a music video for “The Way”, paying tribute to one of the earliest occult movies filmed on Canadian soil, and “No Sacred Ground”, featuring Damian Smith of Altars of Grief on guest vocals.
Now that the album has been released for a few days and you have had a chance to listen to it in its entirety, we want to offer a more in-depth look into the themes of “Weepers of the Land” as a whole. Exploring the album’s lyrical content, artwork inspiration, and collaborations, band founders Nicolas Miquelon and Nick Richer discuss how “Weepers of the Land” came to be and its connection to its previous full-length album released in 2017.
The video was crafted by Erik Labossiere of Wikked Twist Films.
