NOMANS LAND (Russia) ......Viking Metal......
Nomans Land was formed in Saint Petersburg in
spring1996. Initially the group focused mostly
on Doom Metal but in the course of its formation
the concept underwent a big change and became
Viking Metal. By the end of 1999 Nomans Land was
fully prepared to start up the full format album
and in summer 2000 they recorded it in Signal
records studio (Russia). The album was called
"Last son of the fjord" and was
released by Fono Records (Russia) the same year.
Right after the debut album was ready the
drummer and bass-guitar player left the group;
however, in almost no time these vacancies were
taken by Ainar (drums) and Hjervard (bass).
Since that moment the permanent band musicians
were Sigurd - Guitar/Vocal, Torvald - Guitar,
Ainar - Drums, Hjervard - Bass. The group starts
its intense performing activity in Saint
Petersburg clubs and takes part in big variety
of local music festivals. The whole year 2001
was basically dedicated to accumulating the
material for the second album. Creative
atmosphere made them come across an idea to
enrich the sound by keyboards, so they invited
their good friend Igor Pelekhaty to participate
in the recording. As a result of this
cooperation they came up with 10 compositions
and started the recording work for the new album
"Hammerfrost" in Calypso studio,
summer 2002. Besides, not long before that the
new singer Wild (screaming stile) joined the
group. By March 2003 the album was ready.
Meanwhile, Nomans Land keeps having its concert
activity, and as the session keyboard player,
Ilya Denisov joins group. Nomans Land starts
looking for the label for releasing their new
album "Hammerfrost" and in the course
of negotiations arrives to an agreement with
German based label Einheit-Produktionen. At the
same time the group found itself in the middle
of technical and creative disagreement and had
to say goodbye to Wild, and it didn't take them
long to make a decision: Hjervard approached the
microphone. 21st February 2005
"Hammerfrost" was released in Europe
by Einheit-Produktionen. Shortly after that the
album receives a very good press and high
opinions in many different magazines. In July
same year Nomans Land is invited to take part in
the "Ultima Ratio" festival in the
town of Essen (Germany). It was their first
performance abroad. March 31st 2006
Einheit-Produktionen released the second edition
of group's 1st album "Last son of the
fjord" in Europe. This time CD had the
concert video of the band in "Arctica"
club in Saint Petersburg (Russia) as a
multimedia bonus. In April the band performs in
"Ragnarok-3" festival, Lichtenfels,
Germany. In spite of these activities Nomans
Land never stops working at their 3d album and
in July they commenced recording new material in
"Phantom Pain" record studio (Saint
Petersburg, Russia). Once again Igor Pelekhaty
is invited to participate in composing and
recording the keyboards part besides Ilya
Denisov (keyboards) was also involved. Soon
after the recording was over the band loses
Torvald. He leaves pleading serious tiredness
and some others personal problems. The new
band's opus gets the name "Raven
Flight" and consists of 11 compositions.
After 6 weeks of hard work in the recording
studio the band goes to Germany
"Thrudheim" studio to do mixing of the
album. The work was performed by Christian.
Mastering was made by Alex in "Sound
Art" recording studio, September. Nomans
Land was getting ready for their concert
activity in support to their album "Raven
Flight". They had two tours aroung Europe
with their German brothers Thrudvangar and
Czechs Trollech. At this moment the brave
Russians commenced the works for their next
record „Farnord“, for which everybody
involved had an exorbitant high quality in mind
– in terms of song material as well as
production values. First audio samples
completely confirm full success, phenomenal
Viking Metal anthems have been composed,
previously known only from Nomans Land
themselves. Catchy melodies, majestic and
superior clean vocal passages and top-notch
instrumentation inevitably fascinate with pure
magic. The new killer record was produced at the
renowned Sevik Audio Studio in Finland where the
creative body received a grand sound design.
Currently a fine tour featuring Obscurity,
Thundra and Kromlek is in the planning stages.
Release date will be August, 29th and demanding
Viking Metal fans can already look forward to
one of the greatest albums of all time in this
genre!
