Hi friends! Miran online!
Dislocation of the band is the enough important thing in the searching of new music.
We often check Swedish or Finnish bands if wanna listen to new MDM. We are searching black metal in Norway or bagpipe folk in Germany.
But you will hardly look on... Vatican.
But there are some some bands which break nearly all stereotypes.
The size doesn't matter today on MetaMusicMadness.
Firstly let's see on the very un-metal country Maldives.
Somebody has to care about the prestige of this country among the world headbangers society.
This idea has visited two south guys in 2006, which combained under the name "Nothnegal".
Nothnegal is the first Maldivian band which has got contract with label Seasons of Mist.
This contract they got after release of the first EP "Antidote of Realism", produced bt AnssiKippo.
This release sounds not so good, but there was reached necessary result, that means these guys have done everything right.
After this release the band found two enough popular musicians, one of them is drummer Kevin Talley, and the second man is keyboarder Marco Cneck.
Nothnegal recorded the first long-play album "Decadance" with these two guys and released it in 2012.
Here is the quality of sound has grown. It's still not something the best, but with such ambitions it's only question of time.
The second number of our edition today will be country which is 147 smaller than Maldives. That is Monaco - only 2 km2.
But here is metal activist Duke Satanael with his onemanband Godkiller in this mini country.
The real name of this "duke" is Benjamin Labarrere and since 1994 to 2000 he alone played all instruments in his project.
During all live Godkiller changed the style from death to black and finished by some mix of industrial black and electronic metal.
For that time and for such small country Benjamin's projects was something innovate.
But now his last performance is long play album "Deliverance" released in 2000, which has enough interesting sound than "early".
But nobody said about breakdown of the band, so looks like we will wait till something after 13 years pause.
And so time has come to talk about modern pearl of heavy music among representatives of small countries.
This time interesting project has born on the line of French and Spain - in Andorra, which square is less then 468 km2.
And the name of this band - Persefone.
The story of Persefone started in 2001 and now they have four long-play albums.
The main period of rise of this band has started after release of the third album, but two previous albums were enough well.
This performance can have many tags but it's Progressive Death Metal in general.
And so in 2009 they release album "Shin-Ken" which can drive mad even crazy fans of this style.
There are crazy death guitars mixed with interesting keyboards in this album.
And holy ***! These guys really play cool! True masters!
It's very difficult to show difference of this release, much better just to listen it.
Persefone works too long with their albums, but here is the result.
After Shin-Ken the band didn't release something four years. But their next performance of this year "Spiritual Migration" won't disappoint any their fan.
Quality of sound grows with every release, but something doesn't change. It's the main Persefone's feature - the over-difference in their song.
So here is we can easy say that these mad guys from Andorra found their sound.
What do we have in result?
The first guys from Maldives metal scene Nothnegal, the guy who likes experiments from Monaco with project Godkiller and mad guys Persefone with their over-difference from Andorra.
By the way we have the winner of the competition from previous episode Konstant Timofeev, who guess the clip of the band Graveworm on the song "I the machine".
And if Konstantin will back online and write his contacts then will get Graveworm's CD.
And you have chance to win CD in our next competition, so guess the next clip!
