CD/DVD Releases: New Persefone In 2017, Spring European Tour With Poems

Posted on Tuesday, September 06 @ 23:31:24 UTC by admin

Via Intromental: "Almost four years have passed since Persefone unleashed to their highly acclaimed album Spiritual Migration. An impressive album that took both the press and the listeners by storm (1.2 million clicks on Youtube!). When the calendar shows February 24, 2017 it´s finally time to experience the evolution of Persefone with their new album Aathma!

The album will contain 10 new songs and it´s mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street. The artwork is once again created by Travis Smith. Aathma will for sure set the standard for progressive metal in 2017!

"Persefone´s own words about Aathma:

"'It’s only once in every three, four years that we can express ourselves with freedom as musicians, by making music under the name of Persefone. Each album is a picture of our lives and the way we're experiencing this journey. It’s the first time we feel there’s someone out there, waiting for the album and we are doing our best to make honest music that shows the spirit and essence of the band. It’s not about releasing albums. It’s all about the music.'

"Aathma will be released on CD, 12" double vinyl, a limited digipak edition and of course as digital download.

"Persefone is releasing a crowd-funding campaign in conjunction with these news, in order to finance the album, and keep people informed and on-track towards the big date in 2017. The crowd-funding campaign can be viewed here: vkm.is/persefone."

In related news, Persefone will take their brand of progressive melodic death metal on tour in Europe in April 2017 (presented by Intromental, Vicisolum and Metalized) with support from Poem (who released their second album Skein Syndrome earlier this year). "Persefone is the new rising star on the European progressive melodeath scene," the press release states. "Having released 4 critically acclaimed albums, and about to deliver the 5th album of extreme technical skills and fantastic songwriting, this band has climbed from being an unknown band from Andorra to claiming headliner status in Europe.

"Persefone has previously toured the continent, as support for Obituary and Leprous, until they - in 2015 - co-headlined alongside Loch Vostok. The 2015 tour proved to the band, that it was high time, to do their own headliner tour, and with the new album in the luggage, they are more ready than ever, to shred the stages to a pulp."
