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 just released "Uncoiling", a new EP available 12.12.25, following in the same vein as the eponymous earlier demo but expanding on the themes and ideas. Music is available to stream/download online at Bandcamp and below. Nílim is currently available for live sets to present the music in its intended format. Feel free to contact for live availability and any other information.
