With new track "Stasis" released last week, Pacific Northwest doom-death duo Nott has dropped a new playthrough video showing guitarist/vocalist Tyler Campbell conjuring the crushing song on his 8-string.

Pre-order Nott's upcoming new album, Hiraeth, out August 18th on Silent Pendulum Records, here: https://silentpendulumrecords.com/products/nott-hiraeth
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.
A new review on No Clean Singing hails Campbell's guitar work as "riffs that sound like a boulder being dropped off a skyscraper" and offers this assessment of the new album: "Hiraeth is a staggering record, full of end-time imagery and angst. Each drum hit and guitar chord feels like an explosion, while the moments of quiet feel like gasping for breath beneath a pile of rubble. If this is the sound of the end of the world, then things are surely ending with a bang, not a whimper."
The album title 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.
