Progressive metal act PERSEFONE has released an animated video for the song “Prison Skin”. It´s the first single out from the already critical acclaimed album “Aathma” that will be in stores, worldwide on February 24.
Persefone´s own words about the song:
“It’s been some time since we finished and mixed the album. Although we couldn’t wait to share this music with everyone, some steps have to be followed before the release. The wait is almost over. During this time we have had the chance to witness a highly appreciated feedback from media and now we are ready to finally show you the first single from AATHMA. The single “Prison skin” is the first full track of the album and makes a musical statement about how the album will develop musically and sets the mood for the lyrical concept. It was supposed to be a lyric video in the beginning, but the people behind this creation did such a great job that we decided to go with just the animation part. But please, make sure you read the lyrics as you listen to the music, because one part meets the other to bring this concept to live. Thanks for the patience, love and support.”
