Guest of honor CADAVERIA herself this Dec 13

With a metal career that spans from the early 90’s to the present date, Raffaella Rivarolo better known for her stage name CADAVERIA, the Turin, Italian native has without a doubt earned the title of ‘Queen of Shadows’. Starting her career with the black metal band OPERA IX as keyboardist and lead singer, she participated in the release of several demos/EPs and three full length releases as a member of that band. In 2001, she parts ways with OPERA IX to pursue her own solo career as CADAVERIA. Carrying on her dark black metal and Gothic influences, CADAVERIA went on to release 4 solo albums, and the band’s fifth and latest effort entitled ‘SILENCE’; released this November 18th through Italian label Scarlet Records.

In her own words, CADAVERIA has described the SILENCE album as, “…an immense and supreme ‘sound-folly’ that celebrates the capriciousness of destiny, the fugacity of life and the eternal presence of darkness in light. An instinctive impetus made of pure emotions, calibrated by awareness and experience. This album represents our maturity as musicians and the highest and most sincere expression of myself as an artist and as a woman. These new compositions are extremely gloomy and sinister, but they give off an explosion of power, intense energies and deep sensations. ‘Silence’ will guide you into a carnival of imagination and reality, where doom and free will are playing their last chess game. I’m sure it will leave many people speechless. Silence!”
