French doom metal purveyors Nornes are proud to announce the release of their long-awaited debut full-length album, »Thou Hast Done Nothing«, slated for release on November 28, 2025 via Sleeping Church Records. In anticipation of the album, the band has unveiled an evocative album teaser, offering a first glimpse into the grief-laden soundscape that awaits.

Since forming in 2017, Nornes have put the French doom underground on notice with their crushing and melancholic fusion of doom and death metal. From the brooding weight of their 2018 debut EP »Vanity« to the introspective depths of 2020’s »Threads« (Sleeping Church Records), the band has continually evolved while staying true to the sorrowful essence of the genre.

With »Thou Hast Done Nothing«, Nornes take a bold step forward. Recorded at Heldscalla Studio and mastered at Drudenhaus, the album features five sprawling, grief-soaked tracks that delve into existential despair and emotional desolation. It is a slow-burning descent into melancholy, echoing a world teetering on collapse.

»Thou Hast Done Nothing« – a release that resonates with sorrow, power, and unrelenting atmosphere – drops November 28 via Sleeping Church Records. Stay tuned for more news and sounds in the weeks to come.
