Biography

Cadaveria was born in Turin, Italy, on 31 May 1972. She would join the symphonic black metal band Opera IX in 1992, of which she served as the vocalist and keyboard player until 2001, when she left the band alongside bandmate Alberto "Flegias" Gaggiotti (also a member of extreme metal act Necrodeath) to form a new project.{{Cite web|url=http://www.soniccathedral.com/webzine/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=256&Itemid=36|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080608020013/http://www.soniccathedral.com/webzine/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=256&Itemid=36|url-status=dead|title=Sonic Cathedral: Interview with Cadaveria, 2007|archive-date=8 June 2008|access-date=4 October 2020}}

In April 2001 Cadaveria and Flegias (using the pseudonym Marçelo Santos) founded the band CADAVERIA.{{Cite web|url=http://www.cadaveria.com/web/biography/|title=BAND « CADAVERIA|website=Cadaveria.com|access-date=4 October 2020}} The name of the band is written in all capital letters to distinguish it from the vocalist's name.

Shortly after, Killer Bob (bass), Frank Booth (guitar) and Baron Harkonnen (keyboards) joined the group. With the exception of Cadaveria herself, the pseudonyms of her band's members are taken from the names of antagonists from movies by American filmmaker David Lynch.{{citation needed|date=September 2020}}
