In keeping with their nautical name, Nomadic Narwhal look out to the oceans for inspiration, stating "it's easy to forget about the many mysteries that lie beneath the waves. Spanning from forgotten shipwrecks all the way to undiscovered species, there is a sense of awe beyond every seamount. The ocean is in every breath we take, and we still know very little about the vast majority of it." The epic Fathoms (Part 4 - Hadal) is taken from is a four part concept album exploring the different atmospheric zones in the ocean. Starting from the surface and ranging to the sea floor, each pelagic zone has its own curiosities and mystique. In short, Nomadic dedicates three songs per zone to musically capture the atmospheres encountered on a journey from topside to the deepest chasms of the ocean. The Hadal Zone (Hadalpelagic Zone) is based on the always shifting and unstable sea floor/trenches. Loudersound

For more than just ocean lovers, Nomadic Narwhal takes a new path in sonic storytelling. With a cocktail of modern metal, underwater sound design, and cinematic drama; Nomadic takes you on a journey from the beaches to parts unknown. While keeping plenty of room open to interpretation, it is clear that this is not a guided tour. This is an oceanic odyssey shared between artist and listener.

The fourth and final part of the Fathoms album from Nomadic Narwhal marks the reaching of the sea floor however not the end of the journey. With the signature open to interpretation approach, it is safe to say there is plenty to explore in this sonic trek to the bottom. From striking choral harmonies to underwater sound design we are transfixed between the shifting of tectonic plates and the depths of the deepest trenches there is to offer.
