The record has been quite a challenge for us as we have taken time to do a lot of experimentation on the sound, shifting more towards thrash and progressive metal with industrial elements making it entirely different from the sound we had on our 2009 four-track demo,<strong><em>Antidote Of Realism<\/em><\/strong>. With a completely new and original sound and attitude, we feel like we\u2019re starting again from scratch as we believe we\u2019ve finally discovered our sound with\u00a0<strong><em>Decadence<\/em><\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Decadence<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is currently available for pre-order on Season of Mist&#8217;s e-shop as a limited digipak edition. Each copy from the first pressing of the album will come with a unique code that can allow you to win a trip to the band\u2019s stomping grounds\u2026 the Maldives! The 5-day journey will take place at the Fihalhohi Island Resort in Summer 2012. The winner will receive one return flight to the Maldives, an all-inclusive stay (including scuba-diving and other water sport activities) for two people and a meet and greet with the band. More details can be found in the booklet of the album.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTHNEGAL\u00a0<\/strong>boasts a dark melancholic streak flowing through their modern melodic death metal sound, also weaving in very subtle touches of industrial and progressive elements.\u00a0<strong>NOTHNEGAL<\/strong>\u00a0was founded by guitarists (and cousins) Hilarl and Fufu on the capital island Mal\u00e9 in 2006 after leaving their previous group\u00a0<strong>Mortuary<\/strong>. The cousins are supported by\u00a0<strong>Six Feet Under<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>D\u00e5\u00e5th<\/strong>, ex-<strong>Chimaira<\/strong>\u00a0drummer Kevin Talley and Finnish keyboard player Marco Sneck (<strong>Kalmah<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Poisonblack<\/strong>).\u00a0<strong><em>Decadence<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0demonstrates a quick evolution of\u00a0<strong>NOTHNEGAL<\/strong>\u00a0from their previously released, self-produced four track EP. Mixed by Finnish producer Anssi Kippo (<strong>Children of Bodom, Norther<\/strong>),<strong><em>Antidote of Realism<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(2009) catapulted the Maldivians into the international scene, who successfully supported\u00a0<strong>Finntroll\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Samael<\/strong>\u00a0during their 2010 European tour covering 25 cities in 12 countries.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Decadence\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is poised to position\u00a0<strong>NOTHNEGAL\u00a0<\/strong>above fan\u2019s expectations for just another exotic, eclectic, foreign act, offering a melodic, yet crushing door into the minds of the men behind the helm.
