When Ava Inferi broke up in 2013, the members promised that new projects would appear and fill the void, so to speak. Well, today there is something new that might excite Ava Inferi fans. Rune Eriksen and Carmen Simões are joining forces in a new band called Earth Electric and they just signed to Season of Mist. The Norwegian/Portuguese collaborators will release their debut full-length on the label.

This new band is partly the brainchild of Norwegian guitarist Rune Eriksen aka Blasphemer (ex-Mayhem). Their front-woman Carmen Simões (Ava Inferi) is the other half in the formation of this band. Now, the renowned musician is returning to his roots by exploring a more progressive sound firmly based on hard rock.

Regarding their signing, mastermind Rune Eriksen comments on behalf of Earth Electric: "We are truly glad and confident about teaming up with Season of Mist for the release of our debut album. Having been a part of the SOM roster in one way or another for about 17 years now, this deal is a natural extension for me. I am confident that both parts will do their absolute best in making this collaboration exciting and rewarding. Let the Earth Rock unfold. Viva!"




Line-up:

Carmen Susana Simões: vocals

Rune Eriksen: guitars, vocals

Ricardo Martins: drums & percussion

The band logo has been designed by renowned Romanian artist Costin Chioreanu (Twilight13Media) based on an idea by Carmen Simões.
