“Dad Problems” is the first single from Nok Novum and was conceived as improvisational riffs in guitarist Grant Cooper’s dad’s basement when he was 25 years old. The song was born 12 years later into a completed song now that half the band has become fathers. It’s incredible how songs transform over time and get to the finish line with a new perspective.
Since 2016, the instrumental metal band Nok Novum has taken a step back to focus on their individual careers and raise families, as well as taking time to patiently record their highly anticipated sophomore release, Nok Novum II. This new album has recently been completed and is set to be released in 2024.
Grant Cooper explains:
“None of us were dads then, but half of us are now, so maybe this was foreshadowing that feeling of running out of propane on a hot summer’s day while trying to light your BBQ”
Formed in early 2008, Nok Novum is an instrumental band from Canada. The band was originally conceived as a two-piece, with guitarist Grant Cooper and drummer Brady Mason. With the addition of Scott Giffin on guitar and Cam Dougall on bass in late 2013.
The guys proved to be one of the top live acts in the Calgary metal scene. Seamlessly combining mesmerizing video with music, the group’s goal is to create a stimulating auditory and visual experience for their audience.
