NOTHNEGAL: New Song Available For Free Download

December 16, 2009

Maldivian metallers NOTHNEGAL, whose recording lineup includes drummer Kevin Talley (DAATH, CHIMAIRA, MISERY INDEX, DYING FETUS) and keyboard player Marco Sneck (KALMAH, POISONBLACK),have released a new song, "Absolute Blood Unification", as a free download (ZIP file). The track can also be streamed in the YouTube clip below.

NOTHNEGAL is currently working on its new album for a 2010 release. "We have completed writing all songs that [will] appear on [the upcoming CD] and currently in studio going through the recording process and even though we have been working on these songs since last July we are still perfecting/fine-tuning them to make sure we achieve what we are really looking for," the band recently stated.

"We focused mostly on creating a more unique sound which differentiates us more and the result turned out to be almost something completely different from what we had with 'Antidote of Realism' EP, but we still managed to keep the melodic keyboard elements intact while getting them to sound darker and epic than before.

"We have nine songs completed for the album and they have some really heavy/thrashy/groovy riffs, with Kevin keeping the drums aggressive and technical while Marco has the keyboards dark and yet melodic.

"We are very excited about everything and impressed with outcome of the combined effort from our new lineup and the material we are coming up with this time. The songs contain a little bit of everything from thrash metal, groove metal, death metal to black metal and doom so we believe that the material is quite diverse as well. Apart from that, we have also incorporated some atmospheric ambient sounds/noises in the songs which are unique to the Maldivian environment."

NOTHNEGAL's "Antidote of Realism" EP was self-released by the band earlier this year. The CD was produced by Anssi Kippo, who has previously worked with CHILDREN OF BODOM and NORTHER, among others.
