Melodic death metal band PERSEFONE will re-release their classic masterpice, Core, worldwide on April 18th. The album has been sold out for years and many fans have requested that the band would re-release it.

The new release, which also includes a very exclusive bonus track, has been remixed by Pere Revert (producer directly involved in the creation of both Shin-ken and Spiritual Migration). And 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.

Back in 2005 Persefone got in the studio to start working on what was to become the biggest production ever, in the history of the band for that time and one of the most acclaimed album for media and fans.

The idea was simple: Telling the story of the goddess Persephone, who gives name to the band, in three long epic songs from the point of view of every main character in the story: Demeter (mother of Persephone), Hades (god of the Underworld) and Persephone herself. A long epic story with memorable solos, harmonies, complex rhythms and beautiful melodies in 70 minutes of non-stop music.

Persefone will be heading out on their second Asian tour, this time including shows in both China, Japan, and Taiwan. The tour will be a co-headlining tour with Taiwanese band SILENT HELL.

Carlos Lozano (Guitars) comments: “This is another dream, coming true for us, and a milestone in the band’s career. We had a great time with the Chinese fans on our last tour over there, and we expect things to be even crazier this time around, with both Taiwan and Japan added to the schedule! We’re so stoked to get to experience this again.”
