There are two artists by this name
1. A band from Austria / Germany
2. A band from the United States
1. Sonja Kraushofer meets for the first time Tobias Hahn, who produced the L’Âme Immortelle album “Dann habe ich umsonst gelebt”. As a result of this creative collaboration and of extended talks, the idea emerges to bring forth a new conjoint project that will also involve Dirk Riegert in a pivotal role as a songwriter.
As early as 1999, Sonja Kraushofer, while on a tour with the band Christian Death, met Christian Death’s guitarist at that time, Wim Leydes. He then goes on to perform some of his own compositions for Sonja and the singer is elated. One of the pieces is entitled “Forest Song” that is featured on the debut album “Home” and that in turn leads Wim to join the band.
In autumn, the first song drafts are created. The cello assumes a central role and PERSEPHONE succeeds in winning over the instrumentalist Martin Höfert, who will later become the live-arranger of the formation.
After a half a year of preparations and elaborations of the existing drafts the first full-length album with the title “Home” is produced at the Nachtschicht-studios by Tobias Hahn and Dirk Riegert.
The artwork-artist Joachim Luetke is responsible for the visual presentation and his name is often mentioned in connection with bands such as Marilyn Manson, Dimmu Borgir, Pain and Sopor Aeternus.

NattensMareritt На последнем альбоме песенки вяленькие в основном, а вот тексты великолепны, как и всегда у Краусхофер. Все предыдущие альбомы чудесны во всех отношениях.
