Montréal solo project finds power and peace in brutal cold
“STORM” by THE NORTHERN TUNDRA is heavy, focused, and built without compromise. The Montréal-based solo artist handles everything alone, pulling influence from Gojira, Meshuggah, and Northlane, but keeping it personal. It’s not about speed or complexity. It’s about weight. Repetition is used with intention. The rhythm locks in and stays there, like watching snow pile up in total silence.
The track was inspired by the brutal winters of Québec. It doesn’t just sound like a storm. It feels like one. Cold, distant, and constant. But there’s a strange beauty to it. From a safe place, the chaos is almost peaceful. The music captures that balance.
There’s no showmanship here. No extra polish. The artist even admits he’s moved toward “simpler, more heartfelt music” as he’s grown older. That mindset is clear. “STORM” doesn’t shout. It doesn’t need to. It stands still and lets the weight speak for itself.
Let it play while you think or don’t. It’ll stay with you either way.
