Cadaveria
(blue) The Shadows' Madame
20th anniversary edition. Cadaveria is the creative alter-ego of Italian-based metal singer Raffaella Rivarolo, one of the first women to hit the extreme metal scene in the early nineties. The Cadaveria band was founded in 2001 by Cadaveria herself and drummer Marelo Santos, to freely express themselves as musicians and extreme artists. Since Cadaveria's debut album 'The Shadows' Madame' (2002) the bands style is labeled horror metal. Their personal sound is imbued with gloomy and sinister atmospheres and it mixes black metal with classical heavy metal, death metal and gothic influences. The lyrics, scheming, hermetic and introspective, mirror the dark soul and the vexed personality of the singer Cadaveria.
