Diversity Through Music With PERSEFONE

Interview by Kris Peters
Andorran metal outfit Persefone are a band unto themselves.
With a sound that can be loosely described as progressive rock
meets melodic death metal, Persefone have forged their name crafted
in their sonic diversity.
2024, and in particular the band's new EP Lingua Ignota - set for
release on February 2 - ushers in a new era for the band, with
vocal duties being assumed by Daniel Rodriguez Flys. His DNA is all
over the new EP, which features five songs covering the entire
spectrum of Persefone's music, with subtle nods at their future.
Drummer Bobby joined HEAVY to talk more about the EP and
Persefone's future.
"Man, I just want to release the new music," he smiled. "We've been
working so much into this new release lately that I just want to
release it and people to start listening to it. We finished the
recording in August, so it's been a while now. And since we are
about to go on tour in ten days, I really want people to listen to
the new songs before that because we are playing the whole EP live
and I want them to at least know the songs a little bit."
In the full interview, Bobby talks more about the EP and what they
were going for musically, describes the band's sonic structure,
introduces their new vocalist and what he brings to the band, runs
through each of the five EP tracks individually and explains where
they fit in with the recording, how Lingua Ignota differs musically
to previous release metanoia, what's next for the band and
more.
