_{Danish melodic metal band Meridian released their third album, “Margin of Error”, via Mighty Music on 22nd March. This follows the release of the EP “The Fate of Atlantis” a year previously and the four tracks from that EP are included on the new album. Tracks from “The Fate of Atlantis” were included on the Friday NI Rocks Show and on the NI Rocks A-Z Show last year. Additionally, the new track “Second Best” from “Margin of Error” was included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 15th March, followed by “The Devil Inside Us All” on 5th April.}

_{Meridian formed in 2005, releasing EP’s in 2007 and 2009, before their first album “Metallurgy” was released in 2013.  There have been a few changes in guitarist over the years, but the band line-up has been stable since 2015; just after the recording of the second album “Breaking The Surface”. This album was released in September 2016 and a recommendation was posted for it on the Rock Radio NI website- http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/back-stage/music-reviews/2804-ni-rocks-recommends-qbreaking-the-surfaceq-by-meridian.html .}

_{The remaining original members are vocalist Lars Märker, bass player Peter Bruun and drummer Klaus Skjoldbord Agerbo. They were joined in 2012 by lead guitarist Martin Jepsen Andersen and in 2015 by guitarist Marco Andioni. The latter owns “Death Island Studios” where the new album was recorded.}

_{The writing and recording of “Margin of Error” was delayed partly by the fact that some of the band members were working with singer David Reece on the album “Resilient Heart”.}

_{About “NI Rocks Recommends”}

_{The simple idea behind “NI Rocks Recommends” is to acknowledge and promote some of the great music being submitted to Rock Radio NI. The albums that I’ll be recommending are those that you’ll hear me playing tracks from on my shows. I'll not be giving marks or ratings or analyzing the tracks in great detail; just telling you something about the artist and the album. It’s a personal recommendation to go check something out, not a traditional “review”!}
