BERTHA DOCHOUSE, CURZON BLOOMSBURY
The mining town of Norilsk sits in the heart of the Siberian Arctic, huddled behind its wind walls and bathed in the billowing smoke and sulfur of its mills and factories. Originally built by Gulag prisoners under Stalin, Norilsk remains a bleak and mysterious place, forever haunted by the suffering of its history. Whereas nickel miners ponder the lost Soviet comradeship and teenagers dream only of escape, theatre artists and descendants of the Gulag prisoners seek to finally shed light on Norilsk's dark past, long since buried under censorship and the town’s frozen ground.
With poetic imagery contrasting the unworldly Siberian landscapes and dark industrial mining sites, the film weaves a fascinating tale of a secretive outpost that until now has been closed to foreign visitors.

Album notes:
Named after Siberia’s northernmost city, home of a famous heavy metal smelting complex, Norilsk is a doom-death band from Gatineau (Québec), Canada. After releasing an EP, Japetus, in July 2014, Norilsk now unveils their debut album - “The Idea of North” in a glorious digipack edition on Hypnotic Dirge Records.
“The Idea of North” is a doom-death album crafted for the winter season: it has slow and crushing riffs, death growls, and atmospheric arrangements. An evocation of an ominous presence over a vast wasteland, “The Idea of North” is a massive offering that triggers the imagination. Its music draws comparison with doom-death bands such as My Dying Bride, Morgion and Ablaze in Hatred, but it also has a few atmospheric sludge/post metal elements reminiscent of Isis and Morne.
Inspired by the multi-faceted Canadian experience of the North, and assembled into a cold yet dynamic sequence of eight individual songs, the album explores themes of darkness, isolation, identity, archaism and persistence—thus delivering a fresh perspective over the cliché Nordic imagery in metal in general.
“The Idea of North” was recorded at Studio En-Phase in Montreal by Jean-Philippe Latour (Paroxysm, Fuck the Facts, Talamyus), and mixed at Pebble Studios in Ottawa by Mike Bond (Dissentient, Endemise, Loviatar, Signs of Chaos), while the artwork was designed by professional artist Sam Ford, who also designed album artworks for Black Cobra, Witch Mountain and Monarch, among others.
Aside from the gorgeous two-panel cover and interior art pieces, the splendid digipak also contains all lyrics and translations (English and French), for worldwide fans of death-doom to enjoy the bitter taste of the Great White North.

Reviews:
The album, as a whole, is a slow moving glacier, much like the Japetus EP that came before it, but it is much thicker, longer, and brutally unforgiving, not stopping its steady march from the Northern mountains to the Northern ocean, where it will continue as icebergs destined to down ships. It’s a ride that you can’t just hop onto and off of when you are ready. This is an album full of nuance and attention to detail, and should be played as such, preferably with headphones. Throw in a doomed cover of a Belgian pop song, and you’ve got yourself a damn near perfect listen. Beyond recommended, I will probably go through two copies of this album this year alone.
-Crown of Viserys
And one of the great strengths of 'The Idea Of North' is that it never sounds like a collection of ideas in search of a home: quite the opposite, in fact. There's a completeness in the way it grabs initial attention with the rousing, sludgy stomp of the first half, then evolves into a more chilly and thoughtfully introspective atmospheric beast (in places, even reminiscent of Dolorian); like a snow-fanged apocalypse avalanching across the world, leaving the last survivors huddled in the frozen wastes of its wake. The band call it 'crafted for the winter season', but by the visceral and lonely conclusion of the title track it seems quite possible that winter will be eternal.
-Doom-Metal.com
This hour-long ode to the Arctic is a monolithic jamfest, through and through. From beginning to end, The Idea of North is a fantastic example of what modern doom metal should sound like. Thick, slow as molasses, and greatly atmospheric, Norilsk’s debut has exactly what it takes to land this band a spot in any doom metal fan’s list of bands to look out for.

Alla Ossipova: Ulrica, Verdi Un Ballo in Maschera
Alla Ossipova (Telegina) was born in the Arctic, in Norilsk, but spent most of her life in Moscow. Starting from childhood Alla was different -- she was dreaming about becoming an autopsist and hated school for trying to make her conform to some standards.
Alla graduated from Moscow State University as a journalist, but didn't work as such. At the University she started singing, first as a soprano, then she went to study with Natalia Pinevich who discovered her true voice -- dramatic mezzo.
Alla graduated from Moscow University of Arts and then immigrated to Canada together with her husband. Her talent continued to grow with the help of vocal teacher Inna Golsband and Alla started singing on Toronto opera stages -- first at Summer Opera Lyric Theatre, then Opera by Request and Toronto Operetta Theatre.
The combination of big, heavy, dark dramatic contralto with the range of 3 octaves and her fiery temperament was the base on which the talent of Alla Ossipova blossomed. Her last role was Fricka in Die Walküre (Wagner).
Alla's life tragically came to an end on December 25th, 2012 when she just turned 38. Alla couldn't make all her dreams come true, but she will always stay in our hearts.
Studio recording, August 22, 2011
Алла Осипова (Телегина) родилась за полярным кругом, в Норильске, но большую часть своей жизни прожила в Москве. Её удивительный независимый характер начал проявляться уже в детстве, когда она мечтала стать патологоанатомом и ненавидела школу за царившую там обязаловку.
Алла закончила факультет журналистики МГУ, но по первой специальности не работала. Зато в МГУ она начала петь как сопрано, затем перешла к педагогу Наталии Пиневич, которая нашла её настоящий голос, драматическое меццо-сопрано.
Алла закончила Московский Университет Культуры и Искусств в 2005 году, после чего вместе с мужем перебралась в Канаду. Её музыкальный талант продолжал развиваться под руководством Инны Голсбанд и Алла начала петь на оперных сценах Торонто — вначале в Summer Opera Lyric Theatre, затем в Opera by Request и Toronto Operetta Theatre.
Сочетание крупного, тяжёлого, тёмного, драматического контральто с диапазоном в 3 октавы и огненного характера стали залогом её творческого роста. Последней её ролью стала Фрика из Валькирии Вагнера.
Жизнь Аллы Осиповой трагически оборвалась 25 декабря 2012 года, когда ей только исполнилось 38 лет. Алла так и не успела исполнить всё задуманное, но она навсегда останется в наших сердцах.
