Japetus 08:14
Des vagues… plus fortes que des monstres marins Plus grandes que des navires, plus larges que les côtes Ensemençant les abysses Crevant les cieux immenses Le rock pesant, assourdissant La terre noyée dans le tumulte Le règne… de Japet Plus puissant et plus vaste, Plus ancien, au plus profond de la vie Le règne… de Japet Le règne… de Japet Tout ce qui avait respiration, souffle de vie sur la terre sèche, mourut. Tous les êtres qui étaient à la surface disparurent. Depuis l’homme jusqu’au bétail, aux reptiles et aux oiseaux du ciel : ils furent exterminés. [Le Déluge – Genèse, 7, 21-23] Dépassé, emporté, étouffé, Les eaux troubles, la vague, Arraché, avalé, effacé, L’abysse béant, guettant Tomber, plonger, chuter Le gouffre qui s’ouvre dessous Infra Nos, Infra Nos Japetus un enfer immuable Engloutis ici-bas, Le sens à la mortalité Le règne… de Japet Le règne… de Japet

Potsdam Glo 05:45
The hollow vein Cold whistling void Sleeping like dead giants On beds of eternal snows Orogeny – blood of the potsdam Temples of thee – bless the potsdam Silver opacity, rise and condemn Shine no Potsdam Glo

“Norilsk, named after Siberia’s most northern city, crank out some seriously heavy doom with a good pile of death metal and sludge swirled inside for an unhealthy dose of ear candy.” – Crown of Viserys

“This is a great EP if you are into the sound of intense music that can pump you up but also do so in a relaxing way.” – Canadian Beats

“Forging a sound bred from intensive sludge and post metal, the band creates bait and presence which seduces as it savages to leave the listener grinning insanely as its predatory instincts sonically disembowel the senses. There have been a wealth of impressive first assaults from bands this year but Japetus stands head and shoulders above most with ease (…) With that full-length imminent, Norilsk has made the most powerful and exciting entrance of any one this year. Japetus is aural brilliance ensuring that anticipation has nostrils flaring for the album.” – Ring Master Reviews

“For a doom band Norilsk sounds quite interesting. Their influences are varied. From Thergothon through old My Dying Bride to Celtic Frost. Add a bit of sludge and atmospheric post metal and you get a pretty good picture of this band.” – Lords of Metal

“Dieses Duo aus einer kleinen Stadt in der kanadischen Provinz Quebec hat sich mit Herz und Hirn dem DeathDoom, verschmolzen mit einer gewaltigen Portion Sludge, verschrieben.” – Obliveon Metal und Gothic Webzine

“You know those songs that get you from the very beginning? They got that hook and/or epic intro that just builds and builds into a complete and total aural assault. That’s the case with Norilsk’s debut single, “Japetus,” from their debut EP, Japetus.” – Yell Magazine
