History
Nothnegal was formed by guitarists Hilarl and Fufu in 2006.

The band have explored themes of global warming centred around artificial intelligence. Their debut album Decadence tells a story that takes place in a future world that is consumed by water, which is controlled by artificial intelligence. The story is presented in the lyrics in a screenplay format between the individual songs. The story parts link the lyrics of the songs together thematically.

Nothnegal have been honored with a National Youth Award in the band's home country. The Maldives President Mohamed Waheed Hassan presented the National Youth Award 2012 to Nothnegal in the category of Performing Arts.
