Hey Ken,

Have you heard of a band called Persefone? They are a progressive death metal band on Soundaholic (Japan) and Burning Star Records (Worldwide).

I was hoping you might be able to stock their 2006 disc "Core." It's essentially a 3-song CD split into 13 tracks. It is a concept album telling the story of the Greek goddess Persephone (who the band is named after), but they use her alternate name Kore/Cora (hence the CD name).

I bought this album through Amazon's MP3 store for $6.99 ([ame]http://www.amazon.com/Core/dp/B002UCOGFG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1264031978&sr=8-2[/ame]) and it blew me away.

Now I would REALLY like to have an actual disc and booklet without paying up the butt for it.

I don't really know if you would have much of a market for this but it's very progressive in nature. If you can get through the vocals (hey, you got through Kalisia's "Cybion" :p) you will find something really great. It's mostly throating/screaming but when these guys do sing it sounds great despite them having a noticeable accent. Musicianship is top notch and they have some great instrumental sections.
 
I know the band well. They are represented by our friends at Intromental Management. Very adventurous music and I would sell exactly 2 copies.
 
:lol:

Worth a shot but I kind of expected that :) Thanks.

However, how is it that you can carry bands like Children of Bodom and Death and still sell enough copies but you don't think you could with a band like Persefone? Is just just because these are more well known death metal bands? Several of your Death CDs are going for $20 as well which I would think might be a deterrent.

Just curious :loco:
