His words established the already intense band as one that could offer decidedly uplifting content wrapped in scathing brutality, a death metal band for hippies. Drummer Marc Mas Marti left the band on the heels of their masterful 2013 opus “Spiritual Migration,” for which he penned lyrics thoughtful and insightful enough to make even the most hardened death metaller give practices like meditation a second thought. This isn’t the first time Persefonehas faced such setbacks. Longtime frontman Marc Martins announced his amicable departure from the band shortly after the cancellation, leaving diehards such as myself miffed, wondering if this ridiculously accomplished sextet could bounce back without Martins, who happens to be one of the most engaging frontmen in death metal. This culminated in them being forced to withdraw from a North American trek in support of Ne Obliviscaris and Beyond Creationthis past fall, just weeks before the opening date.
