Riffy podlazených kytar, blástující rytmická sekce, mnohavrstevné zkreslené vokály a ambientní melodie. Takto by se dala popsat hudba Lotyšské kapely asi nejlépe.
Kapela je podporována firmou Mayones (ručně vyráběné kytary a baskytary z Polska * od roku 1982).
Členové:
Sergey Serg Baidikov - zpěv + kytara (Inner Fear, Neglected Fields)

============================================
Low-tuned guitar riffs, blasting rhytm section, multidimensional screaming vocals and incredible ambient / atmospheric melody. These features would probably describe the band's music best.
To give their melodic death metal music mysterious darkness it deserves, Preternatural does not hesitate to combine hard guitar riffs with keyboards and samples.
The band is endorsed by Mayones (handmade guitars and bass guitars from Poland * since 1982).

The story began in 1999, when two school friends Serg and Volod, being
obsessed with a long-standing common dream of creating a band, started taking private guitar lessons. Soon, feeling enough skills to make some chords, the guys recruited a bass player Den and a drummer Gin from the other band that had been rehearsing in a local area studio and started to play together. Each lad in the new band was influenced by absolutely
different subgenres of metal and music itself. Instead of arguing upon, who would lead the style, the band had decided to create the unique link between their influences of death metal
power, black metal grimness and ambient music's keyboard atmosphere. But with such a musical mixture the band
needed a proper theme for lyrics and the name of the band must have been equal, either. Since, Serg (vocalist & guitarist) as a teenager, was drown in the studies of paranormal and psychology, the problem of lyrical theme had dissapeared. (Ever since,
every song of the band is a different story dedicated to paranormal and our perception to that phenomenon in our life). The name problem hadn't lasted long either because one morning, Serg took the English language vocabulary, opened it at a random page
and accidentally saw a word Preternatural.
After 24/7 rehearsing, 3 independently released demos and a lot of local gigs the guys decided to add more atmosphere in their music and they found the new member Euge, who took a permanent position as a keyboard player in 2006. The
anticipated goal was finally reached in 2007 with the release of debut album "Statical". The success of the album, later helped the band to perfom
on various festivals and gigs around Baltic states and Scandinavia, supporting the bands like Cradle of Filth, Cannibal Corpse, Vader, Nile, Soilwork,
Atrocity, Leave's Eyes, etc. As well, as the album had acquired a lot of positive interest among metal press and lovers. Some people called it "unique and un-heard before", some people called it "too influenced".
In any case, the ground of fans was formed, and the band decided to move the same musical way, but with more electronical experiments, that has come true in the new EP "Cryophobia" (self-released in March, 2010). As a support for the release, the band has shot their debut video for the title track "Cryophobia". The idea of the video and the song itself is kind of an abstract warning and based on a theory of “a living planet”, that considers humanity as the parasite and has no will to
sustain the symbiosis, putting an end to all mankind using cold as an extinction.
Currently the band is planning to record their second album, find a record label and release it.
