Quebec, Canada's Norilisk have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of black, sludge, doom and death metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Antipole" which will be released in February by Hypnotic Dirge Records.
A very slow, dark and heavy sound starts off the album which also brings in elements of sludge and doom metal. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic post metal style while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Vocals are a mixture of death metal growls and blackened metal screams while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. Spoken words and whispers can also be heard in certain sections of the album along with some of the tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing, some of the songs are also very long and epic in length and the whole album sticks to either a slow or mid tempo direction, clear vocals can also be heard briefly.
On this recording Norilisk remain true to the mixture of black, sludge, doom and post metal that they have established on previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in French and cover the concept of duality.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Norilisk and if you are a fan of black, sludge, doom and post metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Antipole" "Nunataks" and "Un chant pour les morts". 8 out of 10.
