AVA INFERI(Portugal) ......Gothic
Doom Metal......
With
"Blood of Bacchus" AVA INFERI serve
the musical equivalent to a brilliant wine.
Outmost pleasing to the aural palate are the
rich and sweet vocals added by Portuguese singer
Carmen Simões resembling a golden Tawny Port. A
far darker tint is added to the barrel by
renowned composer Rune Eriksen, who has changed
the course of Norwegian Black Metal with his
work in legendary MAYHEM. Yet in AVA INFERI the
listener tastes a far more subtle balance born
out of a unique blending of Doom and Gothic
Metal influences, but always remaining faithful
to Eriksen's distinctive style, which is a far
cry from any average verse/chorus structure. AVA
INFERI is the brainchild of Rune Eriksen, who
wanted to cultivate darkness and despair in
different ways than his renowned Black Metal
expression and singer Carmen Simões, who had
already captured attention as a member of
different Portuguese outfits such as AENIMA,
ISIPHILON and POETRY OF SHADOWS. The ultimate
idea behind this union is the release and
channeling of all frustration and misery that
life sometimes brings, but also to give birth to
a free and independent portal to the
never-ending well of expression and creativity.
When the wheels are set in motion during the
year 2005 the circle is soon completed with
bassist Jaime Ferreira and drummer Joao Samora.
AVA INFERI embrace the two hearts of their
bi-national origins with blood-soaked hands.
From Portugal derives a morbid fascination of
death and ancient melancholy as materialised in
its Fado songs full of longing and sadness.
Norway contributes a harsh sense of darkness
that has expressed itself most recently within
the Metal genre. The joining of these two souls
in a yin yang relationship becomes first
manifest in AVA INFERI's debut
"Burdens", which is released during
January 2006. The title describes that
collective soul of the band at that time,
referring to the past and misshapenness of all
kinds. "Burdens" is rooted in the
essences of pain and fear, yet blooms with a
permeating warmth and burning passion, which
earns the newly founded Gothic Doomsters a
hearty welcome and praise from the press. Having
found their very own style AVA INFERI continue
to explore new boundaries and refine their style
with their second release "The
Silhouette", which is again out on Season
of Mist in October 2007. The listeners are taken
onto a journey of melancholy by doomsday-laden
riffs, haunting melodies and fado-like passages.
"The Silhouette" invites to wander
through cities of grief and dive into weeping
oceans. The album also established Carmen
Simões among the ranks of the strongest and
most passionate female vocalists within the
Gothic Doom genre. Her outstanding abilities
caused fellow Portuguese MOONSPELL to invite
Carmen to sing on all their latest releases as
the leading female voice, which she gladly
accepted. With their third album "Blood of
Bacchus" the Portuguese/Norwegian band now
deliver their finest work so far. AVA INFERI
demonstrate carefully honed and exquisitely
mature songwriting skills. A first tasting was
offered to the audience of the Hellhounds Fest
with TIAMAT and THE 69 EYES in February 2009,
which was very well received by their audience.
In addition to their very own sound a guest
contribution by enigmatic singer Kristoffer
"Garm" Rygg aka Trickster G. (ULVER)
adds further spice to "Blood of
Bacchus". This masterpiece artfully
combines titbits of delicate sweetness,
melancholic bitterness and dark honeyed
aftertaste. Take a deep sip of the "Blood
of Bacchus" and rejoice!
AVA INFERI es
una de esas bandas que impresionan desde un
primer momento, con Rune Eriksson (Blasphemer)
el cual conocemos por ser el principal
compositor en Mayhem y ahora con dedicación
exclusiva además de alma matter de esta gran
banda portuguesa que logra captar rápidamente
la atención del oyente ya que lográn
sumergirnos en una atmósfera llena de depresión
y melancolía en donde el doom con sonidos de la
vieja escuela, se mezcla de manera armoniosa y
delicada con la voz de Carmen Simoes quién en
estos días también trabaja aportando voces
para Moonspell, tanto en grabación como en
vivo.
Carmen también ha tenido su paso por otras
bandas de renombre como Poetry of Shadows,
Isiphilon y Aenima. Ella es poseedora de una voz
y un estilo que me hace recordar en ocasiones a
la banda Luna in caelo, con 2 albunes a su haber
y un tercero que aquí les traigo recién
estrenado y se llama “Blood of Bacchus”.
Recordemos que Rune dejo de lado el frenesí
desenfrenado, del black metal, que lo hiciera
conocido en todo el mundo con bandas como Aura
Noir, y Mayhem para caer en la oscura depresión
del doom.
En este tercer disco aparecen como artistas
invitados Kristoffer Rygg de ULVER, Live Kostol
de PANTHEON I, Fredrik Soderlind de los
PUISSENCE y el talentoso pianista Arne
Martinussen.
