Touring alongside Melbourne’s melodic death metal crusaders Be’lakor on their Australian east coast tour, PERSEFONE and Orpheus Omega have announced a special one-off gig in Adelaide.
Taking place at Lion Arts Factory on Sunday 12 October, the concert promises to be a night of face-melting metal, with PERSEPONE appearing in Australia for the very first time.
The Andorran progressive death metal act have been damaging eardrums for almost 25 years, while fellow death metal purveyors Orpheus Omega will be celebrating the ten year anniversary of their seminal album Partum Vita Mortem.
If that’s not enough to fill your heavy metal cup, local support comes from metal bandits Storm The Crown and powerhouse metal rockers Impetus.
Tickets for PERSEFONE and Orpheus Omega’s headline show are on sale now via moshtix.com.au.
