2009 release, the third album from the Portuguese Metal band. With Blood of Bacchus Ava Inferi serve the musical equivalent to a brilliant wine. Utmost pleasing to the aural palate are the rich and sweet vocals added by Portuguese singer Carmen Simes. Her beautifully clear and emotional singing has already gained her several guest appearances with Moonspell, but it is only in Ava Inferi that her beautiful voice is unleashed to its full potential. A darker tint is added to the barrel by renowned guitarist/songwriter Rune Eriksen, who has changed the course of Norwegian Black Metal with his work for 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. Nine tracks. Season Of Mist.
