Forming in 2011 from the ashes of Holoscene, Toronto/Northumberland based musicians Jim Field and Dorian Williamson came together to create Northumbria and in turn craft sweeping, improvised drones which combine their personal influences and individual soundscapes in order to manifest an aural journey into a dystopian wasteland. Using only guitar and bass and recording their work completely live, Northumbria released their debut in 2012 on Montreal's TQA Records, which began their sonic expanse into the consciousness of the music appreciating public. The sophomore full-length Bring Down the Sky by ambient metal band Northumbria.
