Following her departure from Opera IX, one of Italy's most respected heavy metal bands during the 1990s, lead singer Cadaveria formed the band Cadaveria with the help of guitarist Frank Booth, keyboardist Baron Harkonnen, bassist Killer Bob (aka Necrodeath's John), and drummer Marcelo Santos (aka Flegias, also ex-Cadaveria and singer for Necrodeath). Quickly signed by Italy's own Scarlet Records, the band has presented its Marilyn Manson-inspired, gothic nu-metal on 2002's The Shadows Madame and 2004's Far Away From Conformity. ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide
