Nornes is a French doom metal band founded in 2017 in Valenciennes.
Their music blends traditional doom, funeral doom, and death metal, featuring heavy riffs, oppressive atmospheres, and desperate vocals. Formed by Ju (vocals/bass), Noé (drums), Adrien, and Rom (vocals/guitar), the band draws inspiration from My Dying Bride, Warning, and Bellwitch, while asserting its own dark and melancholic identity.
On stage, Nornes promises immersive and melancholic music that allows the audience to enter a state of dark fulfillment.
Their first EP, Vanity (2018), earned them initial recognition on the doom scene, notably via the compilation Doomed & Stoned in France.
In 2020, Threads (Sleeping Church Records) marked a more immersive and introspective evolution, hailed by critics. Their intensity on stage further reinforces their impact.
In 2024, Nornes recorded their first album, Thou Hast Done Nothing, at Heldscalla Studio, mastered at Drudenhaus: five tracks dedicated to doom, heaviness, and melancholy in a world losing its splendor...
