[Exclusive] Stream Nothnegal’s Maldivian Myth Inspired “Rannamaari”
Maldivian melodic metal band Nothnegal is gearing up for the N. American release of their self-titled EP on August 6th (July 29th in other territories) and they have teamed up with Bloody-Disgusting to bring you an exclusive stream of the track “Rannamaari”. The track, which you can listen to below, is based upon a Maldivian myth that involves a sea demon, virgin sacrifices, and heavy religious themes.
Guitarist Hilarl explains, “It’s about a mythical sea serpent which seeks a virgin as a sacrifice every full moon. The people of the islands are led to believe this but the truth is that the king is the one seeking these virgins while making the people believe otherwise. Rannamaari is the name of this serpent.”
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.
The N. American pre-order can be found here while the international version is here.

In the horror prequel, “A shaman instructs Mila to return a mystical bracelet, the Kawaturih, to the ‘Dancing Village,’ a remote site on the easternmost tip of Java Island. Joined by her cousin, Yuda, and his friends Jito and Arya, Mila arrives on the island only to discover that the village elder has passed away, and that the new guardian, Mbah Buyut, isn’t present.
“Various strange and eerie events occur while awaiting Mbah Buyut’s return, including Mila being visited by Badarawuhi, a mysterious, mythical being who rules the village. When she decides to return the Kawaturih without the help of Mgah Buyut, Mila threatens the village’s safety, and she must join a ritual to select the new ‘Dawuh,’ a cursed soul forced to dance for the rest of her life.”
