Normandya formed in Moscow with Anya Romanova on vocals and Ivan Volkov on guitar. Their debut album 'Lost Seasons' came out in 2015, and the title track became one of their better-known songs. They followed it with 'Echoes of Time' in 2018 and 'Ashes of Shadows' in 2021.
Romanova's vocals and Volkov's guitar work were central to their sound, with Viktor Zakharov on bass and Dmitry Morozov on drums. Their songs like 'Reload' and 'That is The Life Dear Friend' show the band working in progressive metal territory with melodic elements.
In 2017, there were some plagiarism accusations around a song called 'Whispers of the Past,' which the band denied. They kept recording after that, putting out the 'Ashes of Shadows' album a few years later.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
