After nine years of activity in Opera IX, some artistic and personal incomprehensions led Cadaveria and Flegias to leave the band, that split up in April 2001.
Instead of publishing the event in April and setting Cadaveria free to announce her new musical project, the other members preferred to keep it secret, continuing to exploit Cadaveria’s image and presence ‘till they would have found any replacement.
In the meantime Cadaveria didn’t waste her time, she immediately gave life to a new band, called
CADAVERIA, that started composing new material in May.Blackmails and menaces didn’t scare Cadaveria, who is now proud to announce the opening of
www.cadaveria.comThe site is on line. Its aim is to introduce you the new band and its projects, talking about music and avoiding answering defamatory statements published by Opera IX.
www.Cadaveria.com is a musical site made by people who trust music and believe music is stronger then rumors.

EARACHE NEWS
RABIES CASTE -Rabies Caste's debut earache album, "Let the Soul Out
and Cut the Vein," is due for release in North America on October 2,
2001. Direct from Israel, Rabies Caste have been hailed as the heirs
to the legacy of such bands as Godflesh, Neurosis, and Crowbar.
MORTIIS -Icelandic singer-actress-superstar Bjork was quoted in the
September issue of URB Magazine as saying she is a fan of Mortiis!
Mortiis' new album, "The Smell of Rain," is due for release in North
America on October 30, 2001.
DOWNROOT RECORDS -Earache's new imprint label, Downroot Records, was
profiled on a recent edition of MTV2 News with Iann Robinson. While
Earache continues to specialize in the most extreme bands on the
planet, Downroot Records will be home to a wide array of artists of
various styles, from rock to electronica. The first release on
Downroot will be the new album from cyber-goth techno mavericks,
Ultraviolence. Entitled "Superpower," the new Ultraviolence album hits
stores on October 15, 2001, in North America.
DECEMBER -Earache's newest signing, December, is going into the studio
this month to record thier Earache debut. Hailing from Reno, Nevada,
December churns out vicious, technical grind-metal-core assaults in
the vein of Meshuggah, Dillinger Escape Plan, and Lamb of God.
ELITIST -Elitist Records is a brand new collaboration between the
original founder of Candlelight Records, Lee Barrett, the man solely
responsible for the signing / discovery of bands such as Emperor,
Opeth, Enslaved, Beyond Dawn, Solstice and many more, and Earache
Records, home of some of the Metal scene's biggest household names.
"It's an exciting time for me" states Barrett. "I've got over the
personal problems that were affecting my life when I ended up leaving
Candlelight, and I've since carved myself a lucrative career in the
computing industry. Being outside of the music industry re-ignited my
passion for the music itself; I was no longer cynical about bands, and
I actually started looking forward to new releases."
"Earlier this year I was chatting socially to Digby (The owner of
Earache Records), and it was he that suggested the idea of an imprint
label, with me signing the bands and Earache releasing them. This
sounded like an ideal solution: I could stay in touch with the music
that I love, without having to take care of any of the business
aspects that left me cold. I now have a free reign to sign the bands I
please without any major interference. I'm also able to offer them
decent budgets and a true worldwide distribution network, something
that was lacking for me in the past. Trying to start a brand new label
from scratch would be next to impossible in this day and age, but with
Earache's marketing muscle behind it, Elitist has already avoided
those perilous first steps and is straight in contention."
Elitist's aim is to focus on bands pushing the boundaries of the metal
genre, be it in terms of uniqueness or sheer musical progression.
Don't expect a precession of clones pandering to the latest trends.
The label will continue to strive toward the cutting edge of metal,
always searching for emerging talent and nurturing it towards
greatness. With Barrett's previous track record and keen ear for
innovation and Earache's distribution and marketing firepower it's
guaranteed that tomorrow's legends are only a signing away.
The first band to join this "Elite Force" is Italy's experimental
black metal band Ephel Duath. Look for "Rephormula", coming out on
Earache in January 2002. It promises a heady mix of styles and tempos:
a controlled cacophony displaying outstanding musicianship and
state-of-the-art programming skills. The CD will be a full 75 minutes,
including remixes and demo material. Check out a track at
