NÍLIM

Consisting of only guitar, drum machine, and vocals, Nílim is a solo project of John Quill (Third Island, Ordinator, Karpackonaut & more), based in Limerick, IE.

Nílim is intently slow and punishing, designed for a single purpose of weight and repetition. Using a stripped back and simplistic approach, Nílim performs a form of industrial sludge, with doom, post-metal, and shoegaze elements.

Nílim - "I am not", literally - takes a musical approach that leans towards oppressive and bleak by design, but contrasts itself with moments of space and clarity within its own stylistic boundaries. Nílim has a DIY ethos in all elements, from music to art to online presence, aesthetically and creatively.

Nílim has a demo available for stream/download online, with further material in process, and is currently available for live sets to present the music in its intended format. Feel free to contact for live availability.
