Maldivian melodic metal band Nothnegal launched their self-titled EP last month for digital release in America after putting it on general international release. In that time the EP has shot up to 22nd place on Google Music’s Top Metal Albums chart.
The EP, which ranked above albums of bands such as Megadeth and Queens of the Stone Age, was produced in collaboration with Paul Reeve – producer of music for the legendary Muse.
On their new four-track EP, recorded in their native Dhivehi language, they go back to their island roots so even more locals can enjoy their work.
