The melodic heavy rockers are out with the single "City Of Holy War" as a prelude to the album "Breaking The Surface", that is released on
September 16th
.

"City Of Holy War" reflects on the absurdities of the religious wars around the world, as the album "Breaking The Surface" shows a mature band with with variated possibilities and more colors to the palet.

The debut "Metallurgy" from 2013 was received very well and made a foundation for the band:

"...catchy melodies, impressive guitar riffs, incredible solos and one hell of a vocal line." - 10/10 (Metal-temple.com)

"Great production, great riffs, great vocals = great songs." - 8/10 (Rockfreaks.net)

"Dansk eksport metal af international kaliber." - 8/10 (Metalized)

The album was recorded by producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Dizzy Mizz Lizzy etc.), who also mastered "Metallurgy".

"Breaking The Surface" is in many ways a step up for Meridian. The line-up changed last year, and the band welcomed guitarist Marco Angioni (ex Chaoswave). In 2016 the band is stronger than ever, and after winning "Esbjerg Rock Festivals Musikpris", the band opens the biggest stage on the festival this June.

Meridian 2016 Are:

Lars Märker – Vocals

Martin J. Andersen – Guitars

Marco Angioni – Guitars

Peter Bruun – Bass

Klaus Agerbo – Drums
