Andorran progressive death metal group Persefone is set to release a new EP named "Lingua Ignota: Part I" on February 02nd via Napalm Records. This EP will introduce the band's new vocalist, Daniel Rodríguez Flys (Eternal Storm). The former vocalist, Marc Martins Pia, departed from the band in September. The recording sessions for the EP occurred at Studio Gröndahl in Stockholm, Sweden, guided by producer David Castillo (known for his work with Katatonia and Opeth), who also managed the mixing responsibilities.
In anticipation of the release, the band has unveiled a music video for their new single titled “One Word”, streaming via YouTube here.
Guitarist Carlos Lozano shared insights, stating: “‘One Word embodies all that ‘Lingua Ignota‘ is meant to be, both musically and lyrically. With a much more organic and band oriented approach on the writing for this new release, ’One Word’ was the first step towards the sound we were trying to define with the new music. A sound where every instrument, word, note and hit, had its place – avoiding meaningless passages or transitions. Every sound working to help the next one, and all of them being held together by something bigger.”
Technical proficiency and modern progressive metal elements drenched in melodic death metal influences are at the core of Persefone’s sound, and the outfit’s new vocalist, Daniel Rodríguez Flys, brings a fresh edge to his first record with the band. As successor to the stunning 2022 release, metanoia, Persefone expand on Lingua Ignota: Part I - their collaboration with the renowned David Castillo - who produced, recorded and mixed the new album at Studio Gröndahl in Stockholm, Sweden. Castillo is well-known for his phenomenal work with genre giants such as Opeth, Dark Tranquillity and Leprous, as well as label mates Katatonia and Candlemass.
Creeping in with a hauntingly beautiful intro, keyboards and electronic influences build up the atmosphere on the opening track “Sounds And Vessels” before screams lead into a brutal breakdown. Following the shockingly abrupt ending, the breathtaking second track “One Word” kicks right off with pounding drums, screams and growls before introducing a catchy, melodic chorus. Church bells ring for “The Equable”, and the listener is carried away by irresistible heavy riffs leading to a massive chorus. Starting with surprisingly delicate guitar melodies and chanting vocals, the beautiful title track “Lingua Ignota” impresses with skilled instrumentation and exceptionally rich soundscapes. Cinematic closing track “Abyssal Communication” wraps up Lingua Ignota: Part I.
Persefone’s new offering convinces with top-tier songwriting that keeps the listener captivated through the album, showcasing impressive variety in soundscapes, and once again proves that this band can’t be pigeonholed.
