Grammy-nominated metal band Norma Jean return with their heaviest record yet, Meridional. The band's fifth studio album revisits the abrasive and chaotic roots of classic Norma Jean while offering fans a dark experimental side -- the band stretching out on moody, slow-burn jams. Vocalist Cory Brandan described Meridional, 'It's a heavy record, multifaceted with epic sounding, experimental songs, some fast, chaotic songs, and some melodic, commanding interludes. Any track we didn't think had reached its utmost sonic prowess was given a second look, revised to be as powerful as possible.'
