[@persefoneband]

Wow thank you so much for the review and all the super accurate info you are sharing!! 😊🙏🏻 big hug!

[@TankTheTech]

Thank YOU guys for the awesome music! Already pre-ordered the album and cannot wait to hear it!

[@Brendo2386]

Tank knows his shit!

[@damiengrief]

Persefone is so fucking good. Been a fan for years now. "Spiritual Migration" is one of the all time best prog metal albums.

[@ReturnerFPV]

i would argue it is one of the best Albums, full stop. Especially in the way you remember it as a whole album, instead of the individual songs.

[@thereaper23]

This just hit my recommended today. Being andorran and a Persefone fan since the Truth Inside the Shades album (2005), I have to say they are really underrated and they should be more recognized. Technicality, composition, production, everything is amazing on these guys. Every album is a journey. And a big thumbs up for the reaction videos you make, the amount of effort and research that you put in is impressive. I need to watch more of your videos.

[@Vonnegutized]

Their two previous albums: "Spiritual Migration" and "Aathma" are masterpieces of prog metal. The new singles are on similar level, so I expect another awesome album. Nice to see you finally react to this band. I was suggesting it for several months actually, but I know you have hundreds of other requests too. Greetings:)

[@mjh191191]

Absolutely agreed!

[@persefoneband]

👊

[@Scirzo]

🤘🏻yep!

[@prorail1196]

Their 2006 album Core was a great discovery back then. Still going strong.

[@TankTheTech]

I've made my way through Spiritual Migration already and it's awesome, man. Can't believe I'm just now discovering this band.

[@Dosenpruegel]

Aaand another release day marked in my calendar. The fact that Einar will be part of a song makes me really happy. 🤩

[@alexalive9742]

Oh holy, I've never been this excited for a Tank video. Their Aathma album is one of my favorite albums ever. Also, they're like the most underrated band of all time and need exposure like this.

[@ragingstorm79]

For anyone who hasn't listened to Persefone before, give "Living Waves" (features Paul from Cynic) a listen.. it's just beautiful. Spiritual Migration and Prison Skin are other good popular starting points.

[@mattymacmische]

Wow! What a sympathetic, informative and supportive way to do a reaction video! Thanks for that, in just a few minutes I've learned so much more about my favourite band. Subscribed!

[@TankTheTech]

Thanks a ton, man!

[@georgedan9996]

Thank you very much for this video Tank! Persefone has been my favorite band for a LONG time and it's so cool to see you give them the attention they deserve. If you give their music repeated listens, you will find it is actually God Tier headbang material once you're used to the transitions and tricky rhythms and all that!

[@pete-m86]

Katabasis (κατάβασις) : descent Metanoia (μετάνοια) : repentance Just listened to it. The music certainly fits the theme! With a name like Persephone and those titles, I wondered "why haven't I heard of this Greek band before?" LOOL!

[@nchar13]

I had the same wondering when I saw the titles.... Definitely they have some connection with Greece

[@G.Factor]

Hey, thanks for reviewing and reacting to Persefone. They were a regular on my playlist long ago buy fell off my radar and this video brought them right back to the forefront for me. Cheers and keep up the great work.

[@MrShannonmoll]

Damn this premiere was fcking awesome! Thanks Tank, for introducing me to some more new old bands!!!

[@hansemanuelsson9005]

Insanely good! One of the best discoveries I´ve made in the last few months.

[@booboosss]

Dude I've been telling you this for ages 😅 This is such an underrated band. Both Spiritual Migration and, especially, Aahtma are just a journey from front to back. Would love to see you react to Living Waves or Prison Skin! 🤘 Thanks for the awesome reaction!

[@GridDownSurvival]

Great reaction as usual my man.. as a former roadie (25yrs ago) i learn a lot from you.. it was all analog back in my day😁.. having said that, you need to check out this band The Warning.. probably the most talented band in hard rock today.. XXI century blood was released when the members were 16, 14, and 12.. they are currently 21, 19, and 17.. Choke- live session is current and outstanding.. they are sisters from Mexico..

[@MetalZoned]

This is a perfect example of how reaction channels show new music. I have never heard of these guys. Really impressed with this song!

[@rooster_205]

How's it going Tank! I just found this band along with Venom Prison a couple hours ago and have enjoyed everything I've heard so far from both bands.. These guys can play! Great reaction as always my friend

[@kiwi5slayer]

man that vocal effect part with the clean part following it sends me to the fucking stars, this is by far my favorite song from this album and probably from Persefone my favorite band

[@Rex_Stuph]

I was like "What, that's the dead guy we're looking for on the Glycon who leaves us Dead Man's Tale" XD

[@TankTheTech]

😂

[@twelvemonkeys8786]

Oh yes.. First time hearing this band.. Gonna definitely be checking there discography now... Thanks man..

[@the_barefoot_geezer]

Later update: After listening to more and sleeping on it, I visited Napalm Records and pre-ordered "Metanoia", just had to be done! 🤘

[@TankTheTech]

Nice, man! Ordered my vinyl after this reaction and can't wait to hear the record!

[@Otherbeard2fear]

Never heard of this band but they're definitely being added to my rotation!

[@alfonsoagren414]

First my reaction was also heavy Leprous… then heavy Leprous ate something or drank something really heavy and took tons of energydrinks… Love it!!! Stay Metal! 🤘😎🤘

[@PandasFknRule]

I was looking up Andorra when the song started, that opening riff just grabbed my attention back hahaha

[@ejorbe]

Wow that was awesome! I would have never heard not found this band without someone else saying check this out! Also, I feel the same way about your reactions, even if I am not into the song/band, I can’t do anything else because I don’t want to miss any information that you pop up. Great video again!!

[@marquardmeiring618]

So much energy.

[@Hexen555]

This is my shit right here! Awesome track!

[@rocioiribe5841]

i only came across this band a few weeks ago thanks to Spotify. man, is it just the perfect metal for my ears and taste. and yes, that must be one hell of a damn guitar lol

[@LexiPixeL_]

This was really great. Lot of interesting things going on in this one, looking forward to hearing more and will definitely be sharing this among friends. Thanks for the video and all the great info as always!

[@small_metalhead]

You should check out „Wilderun - Far from Where Dreams Unfurl“. A very nice song of a progressive metal band from Boston. Got onto them because of their cover art from their album „Veil of Imagination“ but stuck there for their sound!

[@galadballcrusher8182]

As a Greek, Metanoia means repentance as well regret, and Katabasis means descent, and of course Persefone (usually written in English as Persephone) was Demeter's daughter who Hades fell in love with so kidnaped and brought her down in underworld (with his brother and her father Zeus's consent) where she became his wife and queen of underworld and she spend half year there and half on the word of the living which is a metaphor for nature's death in winter season.

[@m__zombi]

Holy shit. Thanks for showing me this Now excuse me while I listen to their entire discography on repeat

[@VandrefalkTV]

Persefone and Periphery, can't go wrong!

[@DunklerPuma]

That sounds like a work of art!

[@skoddskar3D]

Persefone is great, I've been listening to them for about 5 years now. They're known for making concept albums and I highly highly suggest you take time someday to listen to "Core" and "Spiritual Migration" from beginning to end. Both albums are in my opinion flawless, and excellent albums to focus on every minute detail going on.

[@mbo191]

No gear breakdown about the Make & Model of the Air Guitar that the singer used? 🤔 Just kidding, great review as always, Thanks Tank!

[@TankTheTech]

Hahahahahaha! Man, I noticed that move when I was watching and silently thought to myself that I haven't seen anyone do air guitar in a while.

[@mbo191]

@@TankTheTech - Yeah, it's becoming a dying artform. Chase is one of the few left with his Air Drums. / B

[@Thystonius]

Haha as a drummer I recognize the trying to get a better look at the cymbals 🤣 surprisingly it doesn't help but I keep doing it

[@Stromblad2211]

Bro, FEEL WHAT I BELIEVE - THE HALO EFFECT!!!!!

[@TankTheTech]

On the list of things to do.

[@Omertahun]

oh wow that was indeed kick ass. Loved it

[@mjolnir3504]

Spiritual Migration is Top Ten albums of all time, All genres EVER. For me! There is a section from around 10 minutes to just after 30 minutes on that album that is the pinnacle of music!! Just amazing!

[@Yoshoggutha]

Tank, man. You have to watch the video for their song Living Waves. It's one of the most amazing pieces of music I've ever heard. I think you'll really dig it.🤘

[@Marc_Motzkugel]

Hope I don't got it wrong, but I think they invited Lower Than Zero(a Band from Augsburg, Germany,wich you should check out) to play with them

[@trijiconlegend9974]

Another great reaction, big fan of your channel... just a random side note, if you haven't, maybe consider a reaction to Scumprophet or Infernal Cleansing by Hollow Prophet. I think you would enjoy either one

[@VandrefalkTV]

You need to hear their song "The Majestic of Gaia" man, you'll regret it if you miss it!

[@METAL4EVER.]

The closest band to my city so far on the channel, about 800 miles to the left down the coast.😂 Maybe the next thing will be a Spanish band on the channel for the first time.😁 Thinking of a band that sings in English (most of them do it in Spanish), maybe ANGELUS APATRIDA 😉😉

[@aaohknsn]

Great reaction to a great band!

[@LionheartSJZ]

I'm not a prog metal guy. I would have NEVER listened to this band on my own. Now I hear them on this channel and suddenly turns out I've become a prog guy apparently. Loved it! Nothing I would listening to casually... this type of music to me feels more like reading a book. It requires my attention. Same with Opeth and similar bands. Anyhow, great discovery! Thanks Tank!

[@TankTheTech]

Yeah, apparently I'm getting into prog lately too. Haha

[@ThorsHammer88]

This song sounds very similar to the band Suspyre minus the harsh vocals.

[@gusteaux3994]

The Halo Effect - Feel what I believe next please :D Great reaction as always Tank!

[@anthonylamia7230]

Still waiting on that new bloodywood reaction!!!

[@TankTheTech]

I've got it on the schedule, but there's been so much coming out lately that it might be a week or two.

[@chingcapul]

Woww I love it beautiful !!!..new friend here.thanks

[@HerrElak]

ehm... The halo effect - Feel what i believe? GO! :D

[@TankTheTech]

On the list of things to do! Can't wait!

[@evokenzyklon5026]

🤘

[@ginnydileo5168]

Hi Tank. I really want to see you react to Fit for an Autopsy. The album they just released may be the best album of 2022.

[@TankTheTech]

I've already listened to that album so many times at this point. It's so damn good.

[@sugoruyo]

Persefone have always absolutely destroyed, haven't yet heard the new album but they've gone from strength to strength so I'm looking forward. And, if you like Leprous, you'll be glad to know the first/title track of the album features Einar Solberg... Some fun facts: - the album is called Metanoia (pronounced me-TA-nee-ah) which is Greek for regret/repentance, literally it means "change of mind" - Katabasis (pronounced ka-TA-vah-sis) is Greek for descent, it's the second song on the album - the album ends with the 3-parter Anabasis (pronounced a-NA-vah-sis) which is Greek for ascent Persephone was, in Greek myth, goddess of grains and fertility, like Demetra, her mother. Her father was Zeus and his brother Hades abducted and married her. The Athenian month of Anthesterion roughly corresponded to mid-February to mid-March and included a festival in her honour associated with the dead, the birth of children and the blooming of flowers in the coming spring season.

[@the_barefoot_geezer]

This was fantastic!

[@TankTheTech]

Super excited for this album!

[@gwaptiva]

Very much a game of "Where's the one?! Where's the one?! Someone know where the one is!?" "Where is Wan, though" if you like *kerboom tiss*

[@Syzygy77]

My only complaint about this song is that it’s too short. At the end I’m always wanting at least 2-3 more minutes.

[@jannekaanta2884]

Hehe, the sweds are poking around all over 😉. 👍❤👍

[@garygrezeszak8806]

Check out Erra new song out. I think you like it!!

[@tobyb.5992]

Definitely a first and last time listen for me. The harsh vocals are too hard to bear for me. But the music without the vocals was okay.

[@stevenolinason6848]

Yeah, I'd have to agree. Excellent players but it's just all over the place

[@TankTheTech]

Everyone has different tastes. No worries!

[@jazzandmetal]

That’s how you say Mayones? Lol. I thought it was more mayonnaise. Lol

[@TankTheTech]

There's a chance I could be saying it wrong, but I remember looking up an old video of theirs where they were demoing guitars and one of the people from the company said it that way.

[@jazzandmetal]

@@TankTheTech you are probably right. I once cal Legator guitars and hung up when they greeted me to see how THEY pronounced the name. Lol.
