Avant-garde green metal outfit Botanist has just grown "Royal Protea" - as the third track from its approaching full-length, Paleobotany, scheduled for release on 17 May through Prophecy Productions.
The ancestors of the flowing plant family of Protea evolved about 75–80 million years ago on the supercontinent of Gondwanaland, which covered most of the southern hemisphere. Due to the continental drift of the earth's tectonic plates, Gondwana separated into smaller parts that form today's southern continents. In present times, Protea is mainly found in the area of South Africa. Its largest species, the self-fertilising Protea cynaroides, also called Giant Protea and King Sugar Bush, is the country's national plant.
Botanist's mastermind Otrebor explains: "There are practically innumerable variants of Protea, and most of them grow in South Africa, where the eponymous plant of the single originated about 65 million years ago. Back at the time, the area that is now South Africa was a rainforest".
