Nordicwinter is a Canadian black metal project epitomizing the introspective and melancholic side of the genre. Conceived by sole member evillair (real name Yves Allaire), Nordicwinter debuted onto the atmospheric black metal scene in 2006 with the release of "Threnody" and has since then carved out a niche for itself by exploring themes of sorrow, isolation, and the somber beauty of nature. The project took a hiatus after its initial offering, but evillair revived it in 2020 with the release of "Requiem," marking a prolific period of creativity and introspection.

The music of Nordicwinter is characterized by evocative, haunting melodies overlain with harrowing, emotionally charged vocals. The project’s soundscape is a profound testament to the solitude and starkness of Canadian winters, as captured in the icy grip of releases such as "Desolation" and "Sorrow." Following "Le dernier adieu," Nordicwinter plunged deeper into the frostbitten terrain with 2021's "Beneath the Fleeting Light," showcasing a continued evolution in atmospheric black metal. 2022 saw the release of "Enshrouded by Winter," adding yet another layer of depth to the sorrowful tapestry this one-man band weaves. Most recently, Nordicwinter has offered "This Mournful Dawn" and "Death's Pale Touch," further solidifying its reputation for producing raw, emotive, and immersive music that resonates with fans of the genre around the world.
