French-Canadian band Norilsk is back with a captivating new album, as thick and heavy as permafrost. Le passage des glaciers (The Passage of Glaciers) follows in the footsteps of 2015's album The Idea of North, but expands the sound considerably. From a sludgy slab of doom-death, the band has carved further into the icy influences of dark metal, to emerge with a blackened doom-death album tainted with frozen melodies, misty atmospheres, and reflective lyrical passages.

As lyricist Nic Miquelon mentions, “Anyone who has followed us so far and enjoyed our musical landscape might be carried away into the distance with Le passage des glaciers. There is something of a personal journey in there, something that had to be experienced and mourned, and something that swallowed us whole when creating this.” While Le passage des glaciers is not a concept album, this new musical chapter has been written around the theme of mourning and departure.

The artwork is signed by Sam Ford, who designed the artwork for the previous album The Idea of North. Sam worked closely with the band to develop an artistic continuity, yet a distinct visual atmosphere to the album, and integrating symbolism and referencing Canadian art.

Death, like a magnetic North, is calling, and many are those who answer. It hypnotizes with its lullaby, carrying some into the distance, and leaving the others behind ...in the furrow left by the passing of glaciers. The album includes eight tracks, mostly in French, for a total duration of 44 minutes.

ALBUM REVIEWS

Reviews:
"Le Passage des Glaciers feels like an album perfectly suited to these cold, winter nights; something to spend quality time with as the nights draw in, with the outside world rendered an after-thought as you lose yourself within the ice-cold wilderness on display here. Intelligent, emotionally charged, and highly rewarding, Le Passage des Glaciers is simply wonderful."
-The Sound Not the Word

"To summarise it all, Le Passage des Glaciers is a tribute to the cold dry lands of the north. Yes, the glaciers are melting, and the temperatures are soaring, but deep in the landlocked barren lands Norilsk have managed to carve out a sonic beauty that reveals its subtle nuances when the listeners are drawn in."
-Itdjents

" Norilsk sets the stage for a classic wintery doom record"
-Exclaim!

"This is music for the haunted place, the celebration of nature, in all its contemporary insecurity and all its past destructive beauty."
-Echoes and Dust
