Italian horror metal veterans CADAVERIA unveil their latest video for “La Casa dell’Anima”. The dark and atmospheric new hymn is taken from the band’s sixth full-length record “Emptiness”, out now via Time To Kill Records.
Cadaveria comments: “In my heart I have wanted to write a song in Italian for years. I always hesitated because I used to associate the Italian singing with the punk of Negazione, Indigesti and Nerorgasmo, which I listened to as a little girl, and I didn’t think it could be combined with the spirituality and the black-dark-gothic mood of my lyrics. The passion for other cultures, the discovery of shamanism and my life experiences of the last five years have finally freed me from any preconceptions. I am happy to be able to tell you about my journey outside body and time, where I was guided by the rhythm of the shamanic drums, with my own language. An experience to cleanse, reconcile, make space and be reborn, translated into images by Marçelo, who has always made CADAVERIA videos with his Morbid Vision”.
Whether you call them horror, gothic or dark metal, one thing is certain: in their 20+ years career CADAVERIA have become one of the most iconic bands of the Italian metal scene.

CADAVERIA is the creative alter-ego of Italian-based metal singer Raffaella Rivarolo, better known by her stage name Cadaveria, one of the first women to hit the extreme metal scene in the early Nineties.
CADAVERIA band was founded in 2001 by Cadaveria herself and drummer Marçelo Santos, to freely express themselves as musicians and extreme artists.
Since CADAVERIA’s debut album The Shadows’ Madame (2002) the band’s 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.
2021 is a meaningful one for CADAVERIA band, as the band celebrate its 20 years of activity. A career that boasts five full length albums, some reissues, an EP (with Necrodeath), a retrospective double DVD and a huge support from fans of Central America, where CADAVERIA have made a series of headlining tours, between 2007 and 2015.
From 2012 on, with the release of the most recent albums Horror Metal and Silence, CADAVERIA have been engaged in many live dates that have seen them protagonists of different stages in Russia, Germany, France, Belgium, Romania, as well as numerous Italian shows as headliner and in support of Cradle of Filth, Arch Enemy and many more.
CADAVERIAhave recently released a series of new singles, that mark the band’s return to the scene after a long pause, during which the singer had to be treated for cancer.
