« 22.11.2007 - "Cold
Winter ahead"
|
The first concert has been absolved
successfully in Darmstadt last Saturday. This weeks
Saturday PERSEPHONE will be present at the Castle
of Wernigerode to perform their new songs in a most
probably cold church. So if you are coming to enjoy
this night you should take care of your health. Anyway,
you wouldn't like to disturb the concert with your teeth
making a noise, huh? ;)

02.11.2007 - Another big
day »
|
At least it really happened: As
well as 'Letters to a Stranger' the 'bigger brother'
of the website which you were looking at so far is presented
to the public now. With all the old and new content.
The fourth and last part of the "Making
Of 'Letters to a Stranger'" takes
care of everything and anyone whom wasn't paid any attention
so far.
The production-reports have been finished now by adding
the last remaining station the album had to 'absolve'
to become what you now might call your own: John A.
Rivers, whose fine instinct and sameways sensitive and
sensible approach towards the music of PERSEPHONE made
this release a very special, indeed. The report has
moved, now. You'll find it underneth the tracklist in
the "Releases"-section ( Releases»Letters
to a Stranger).
There's also another Making-Of viewable: It is about
the "Last Night" -
concert in late summer 2006 when PERSEPHONE performed
together with the Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra
of Wernigerode.
And as well you'll find brand-new wallpapers, an MP3,
a new band-profile.... but surely you'll find out youself,
getting into this site. All we have to say now is: Enjoy!
Yours
PERSEPHONE

It’s been quite a long time
ago that there were some news on this page. So you may
be glad to hear that there is a simple reason for that:
PERSEPHONE have been doing another record. Yes! It’s
done. And again they have been working together with
old friends like producer John
A. Rivers or Joachim
Luetke who is currently working on the visual appearance
of this upcoming release. But there have also been sessions
with musicians who are “new” to PERSEPHONE.
And as usual PERSEPHONE captured the impressions of
all the sessions and today present the first part of
the studioreport. Starting things off with Lothar...
