Persefone, whose name is derived from the Greek Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, Goddess of Spring, the dead, the underworld, grain, and nature were on stage tonight, supporting Australian band Ne Obliviscaris. They are no strangers to each other as they have worked together in the past: Persefone released the single “In Lak’ech” in 2018, featuring Tim Charles, singer and violinist of Ne Obliviscaris.
Both bands were on tour in Europe, promoting their latest albums (Persefone: Metanoia (2022) – Ne Obliviscaris: Exul (2023)) and we caught them when they landed at Trix club, Antwerp, to provide us with an evening of the best progressive death metal around!
The warming-up was provided by Asymmetric Universe. This band brings a kind of jazz/fusion with the aggressiveness of progressive metal.
Setlist Ne Obliviscaris:
Intra Venus, Equus, Misericorde I – As the Flesh Falls, Misericorde II – Anatomy of Quiescence, Libera (Part I): Saturnine Spheres, Forget Not, Devour Me Colossus (Part I): Blackholes, Graal.
