We are thrilled to welcome Nílim to this years Monk Fest.
Consisting of only guitar, drum machine, and vocals, Nílim is the Limerick based solo project of John Quill (Third Island, Ordinator, Karpackonaut).
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 takes the stage on Friday July 3rd in Pharmacia Limerick. Check out his album Uncoiling here: https://nilim.bandcamp.com/album/uncoiling
Monk Fest is in aid of Temple St. Children’s Hospital.
