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.
Decibel reports: "There’s a storm brewing out there, and it’s coming from the Pacific Northwest. Nott, the dynamic duo of Tyler Campbell and Julia Geaman, has summoned the clouds to rain death-doom terror on their upcoming album Hiraeth... If you’re a fan of the dissonant death metal that emerged over the last decade from bands like Ulcerate, then you definitely need to get harmonized with this."
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.
Geaman states: "I was born in Romania and, because things were chaotic in the '90s after Communism fell, we moved to South Africa for 8 years, then finally immigrated to Canada. I remember feeling like I had nothing to do and, after all that moving and chaos, it was suddenly quiet. Maybe I started playing drums to fill that quiet."
