Maldivian Heavy Metallers NOTHNEGAL: August 6th Announced as New North American Release Date for Upcoming EP

All Other Territories – In Stores on July 29th

Produced by Shamheed, Matt Hyde (Slipknot, Bullet for My Valentine, Machine Head), Paul Reeve (MUSE)

Maldivian melodic heavy metal band NOTHNEGAL and their international label Season of Mist have issued an updated release date for the band’s upcoming experimental self-titled EP. The new release North American release date for the EP will be August 6, 2013. The EP will release in all other territories a week prior on July 29th.

Track Listing:

1 – Actuality
2 – Rannamaari
3 – Viha
4 – Flux Plane

“This EP will have an experimental sound inspired from traditional music of the Maldives with the lyrics being based on the folklore, beliefs and legends of the islands here,” states guitarist Hilarl. “We wouldn’t say that this is the successor of Decadence, as the sound on these songs would be far from our normal sound, so we want to treat this as more of an experimental release. We are curious to know the people’s reaction to this. We have already started writing the material for our next full length album which would have a more familiar sound to the fans.”

Hilarl adds, “The other major change on this would be the fact that our longtime guitarist Fufu, who is also a founding member of NOTHNEGAL was not able to be part of the songwriting and recording of this EP due to personal commitments. Chippe’ (Serenity Dies) filled in for him.”

The EP was recorded at Vakaruge Studios in the Maldives with producer Shamheed, with additional production being handled by Matt Hyde (Slipknot, Bullet for My Valentine, As I Lay Dying) and Paul Reeve (MUSE). The NOTHNEGAL EP will consist of four tracks and will be released exclusively through digital retailers in North America and other parts of the world.

NOTHNEGAL is:

Affan (Vocals)
Hamad (Bass)
Hilarl (Guitar)
Chippe (Guitar)
Marco Sneck (Keyboards)
Kevin Talley (Drums)
