Quebec, Canada's Norilisk have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an atmospheric mixture of black, sludge, doom and death metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Gigantes mortui" which was released by Hypnotic Dirge Records.
Dark soundscapes start off the album before going into more of a heavier, melodic and melancholic direction. Elements of sludge and doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the songs while the vocals are mostly death metal growls and some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
At times the music also adds in touches of the 90's era atmospheric doom/death metal style while black metal screams are also added into certain sections of the album. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the solos and leads also being done in a very dark yet melodic style which some touches of post metal.
Spoken words can also be heard on a few songs as well as one track also introducing clear vocals onto the recording and each song also sticks to a slower direction along with all of the songs also being recorded in a live rehearsal setting. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in a mixture of English and French and cover mythology and history themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Norsilisk and if you are a fan of atmospheric, black, sludge, doom and death metal, you should check out this live album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Beyond The Horizon" and "No Sacred Sound". 8 out of 10.
