The idea behind AVA INFERI can be traced back a long time way, to 1994 to be exact, but it is only now that the surroundings allow the band to happen.
AVA INFERI was created in Almada, Portugal by guitarist and songwriter Rune Eriksen.
The ultimate idea behind this incarnation is to release and channel all frustration and misery that life sometimes brings upon us ... but also, and perhaps more importantly, to give birth to an entity that can be used freely and independently.
A portal for the never-ending well of expression and creativity.
As soon as the idea of AVA INFERI was put out and in motion, the formation completed itself quickly.
Besides Carmen Simões (vocals), who was also a member of different Portuguese outfits such as AENIMA and POETRY OF SHADOWS, the others followed by chain reaction.
Bassist Jaime Ferreira was introduced to Rune during a closed gathering and with Jaime's connections João Samora joined to play the drums.
The band started rehearsing the written materials early 2005, and about 6 months later AVA INFERI entered Top Room studio, Norway, for a three week recording of their debut album "Burdens".
The title describes the collective soul of the band, with its clear roots referring to the past and its troubled paths.
Other titles included on this album are "A Glimpse Of Sanity", "Sinisters", "Vultos" and "The Fate Of Mountains", rooted in all is the essences of pain and fear, as well as the eerie and the unknown.
The music will speak for itself.
Let its magic be revealed.
