Quebec, Canada's Norilisk have returned with a new recording which continues the mixture of black, sludge, doom, death and post metal from their previous releases and this is a review of their 2022 ep "Beyond The Mountains" which was released by Hypnotic Dirge Records.
Dark yet melodic riffing starts off the ep while elements of doom and sludge metal can also be heard in the songs. Both of the tracks are very long and epic in length along with the vocals being mostly death metal growls as well as the music also being very heavily rooted in the 90's era and black metal screams can also be heard briefly.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark, melancholic yet melodic style. Post metal style melodies can also be heard at times which also updates the ep for the modern eta along with all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them. Spoken word parts and clean playing can also be heard briefly and all of the music sticks to a slower direction.
On this recording Norilisk focuses more on a melodic doom/death metal style as well as keeping some of the elements of black, sludge and post metal that where present on previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the Inuit High Artic Relocations in Canada during t he mid 20th century.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Norilisk and if you are a fan of black, sludge, doom, death and post metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Beyond the Horizon". 8 out of 10.
