Consisting of only two members – guitarist/vocalist Tyler Campbell and drummer Julia Geaman – Nott summons an all-smothering vortex of doom-death. With viscous tones, and with tempos ranging from mid-paced to glacial, Hiraeth unfolds like a slow-motion free fall into the abyss. Reference points include Immolation, Meshuggah, and Ulcerate.

"It can shift enigmatically from an angular Ulcerate riff to a plodding doom pace to an almost deathcore-ish growl and breakdown," states a review from Toilet ov Hell today.

Nott's Tyler Campbell states: "'Stasis' is the second chapter of Hiraeth, and details the unwilling immersion into a terrifying, endless chasm. It’s one of the shorter tracks on the album, yet compared to others it tears through many tempo, meter, and key changes. This helps to imbalance the listener, to help simulate that free-fall into the abyss."

The album title, Hiraeth, is a Welsh word with no direct translation, but which Campbell defines as "the longing for what once was, and what you cannot go back to." The title takes on new weight, in light of Campbell's and Geaman's personal stories. The two migrated to their current homes in the Pacific Northwest, by way of Alaska and Romania, respectively.
