North
The Great Silence
Cavity 19
Released on June 12, 2012

After a lengthy time in musical purgatory, NORTH is back four years
later with the epic The Great Silence. A twisting, heavy, gloom filled
album of cosmological proportions, with howling vocals going back
and forth between pure agony and harsh terror, guitar riffs tearing at
the fabric of time, and drums and bass booming and blasting off into
the atmosphere. After dealing with several on-again/off-again member
changes, an extended writing process has resulted in a diverse, almost
mentally exhausting musical venture into the great unknown of
space. The record is even darker and heavier than NORTH’s previous
records, the critically acclaimed Decibel top 40 album of 2008, What
You Were, the post-apocalyptic instrumental world of 2007’s Ruins,
and the cold ambient landscapes of their first EP Siberia. Recorded at
Loveland Studios in Tucson, AZ with Dana Fehr in January 2012.
