Hailing from Andorra, we now bring you one of the most exciting new acts on the ever-growing metal scene; Persefone.
The band was formed in 2003 and after just a year, the first album, “Truth Inside the Shades”, was recorded. Carlos Lozano (Guitar and vocals), Miguel Espinosa (Keyboards and vocals), Jordi Gorgues (guitar) and Toni Mestre (bass) parting from Death metal, through progressive passages and even acoustics, demonstrated to have a great musicality.
Bands like Opeth, Borknagar, Arcturus, Death, Symphony X or Cacophony are all a reference for this album.
Teaming up with Danish-based Intromental Management, the CD was released in 2004. The album was widely distributed and great feedback was received from the press. Persefone created their own little niche, through the original, complex, melodic and at times even aggressive metal that floated out of the speakers!
Now 2014, remixed by Pere Revert (producer directly involved in the creation of both "Shin-ken" and "Spiritual Migration"), Core strikes back with even more power, bigger production, better sound and Annica von Holdt’s artwork revisited by world renowned cover artist Travis Smith.
Persefone is innovative music for the open-minded listener.
