Persefone sign to Napalm Records

PERSEFONE have signed to Napalm Records!

Since forming in 2001, the progressive metal outfit hailing from Andorra have dazzled the tech and prog metal world with their complexity through five studio albums. Now, the band have taken the next step in their career by joining the roster at Napalm Records. They will release their new album, making their label debut, in 2022.

Whilst few details are known at this point about the band’s sixth studio album, the record was mixed by David Castillo, who has worked with the likes of LEPROUS, SOEN and OPETH, and mastered by Tony Lindgren [ENSLAVED, IHSAHN, SEPULTURA].

Speaking about the signing, the band says, “we are excited to announce that we have signed a worldwide deal with the renowned label Napalm Records. Since we started working on the new album, we knew we wanted to bring this whole experience that is PERSEFONE to a new level. Teaming up with Napalm Records will allow us to reach a new stage we couldn’t get to otherwise and we can’t wait to show you all what we’ve been working on these last few years. Stay tuned for more announcements about our new album and tours coming up!

The amount of hours and resources we have put into this release is way beyond any other album we have ever conceived. We have put the question mark on every little detail – from the writing process to the very last production element. Also, the commitment David has shown during this whole process definitely shows in the final sound of the album as it sounds huge, powerful and very organic. For us, every new album means a new challenge to surpass and this particular one has been no exception. For the first time ever we couldn’t be happier with the result. Much love.”

Sebastian Muench, A&R at Napalm Records, adds, PERSEFONE‘s album Aathma is unquestionably one of most creative and inspiring progressive metal albums of the last decade! Having eagerly listened to some of the new songs, fans can expect another masterpiece! I am looking forward to working with PERSEFONE and the Welkin Entertainment Management around Tim and Rahul. Welcome to the Napalm family!”
