JOTNAR is an aggressive melodic death metal band, formed by Ben Melero and Elhadji N'Diaye, which made its live debut in late 2008 with the following line-up: Ben Melero (git), Elhadji N'Diaye (git), Eduardo Rodriguez (vox), Jeremias Lobos (drums) and Luis Henriquez (bass). Several line-up changes in the following years kept the band away from the stage but at the same time it allowed them to reinvent their sound. With the addition of the new members Misael Montesdeoca (vox), Jose "Xurro" Rodríguez (drums) and Octavio Santana (bass), they signed with Murdered Music/Coroner Records to release their EP "Giant", which was released in March 2012. JOTNAR is a raging, devastating force on stage, and their ability to perfectly capture and recreate the main essence of the studio recordings live, is one of the reasons why they are recruiting new fans after every show. Due to some personal problems, singer Misael was forced to leave the band, and Mario Infantes stepped into his shoes, adding a new dimension to JOTNAR's sound. The band entered the studio to record their first full-length album, "Connected/Condemned", which was mixed by Sacha Laskow in Canada at Perfect Filth Studios and mastered by Jens Bogren (Arch Enemy, Soilwork, Amon Amarth, Opeth) at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden. British artist Russ Mills was recruited to create the artwork. "Connected/Condemned" is the first album with the new singer Mario Infantes, and it features contributions by the following top-class international guest musicians: Björn "Speed" Strid (Soilwork), Alessio NeroArgento (Disarmonia Mundi, NeroArgento), Jennie Nord (Ultimate Fate), Santi Suarez (Sphinx) and Bruno Pardini. JOTNAR offers a redesigned and modern sound with a powerful blend of strong and aggressive rhythms with very distinct melodies; achieving a perfect balance between both sides and taking modern metal to the next level.
