AVA INFERI, the Portugal-based band whose lineup includes Norwegian guitarist Rune Eriksen (a.k.a. ex-MAYHEM guitarist/songwriter Blasphemer), has issued the following update:

"We are now searching for a guitarist who can fill in as a live member (and then see where it goes from there) when we have shows and tours on the agenda. Must be willing to step in at any time required, have his (or her) own equipment, and be an experienced and a hard working individual willing to sacrifice his (or her) sanity for the band. Preferred from the Lisboa/Centro Sul area due to periods of immense rehearsals (unless you love to travel long distances several times a week, of course...)

"If you know you have what it takes and are ready and willing to surrender to the coven, let us know at ava.inferi@yahoo.com."

AVA INFERI's third album, "Blood Of Bacchus", was released in Europe on May 25 via France's Season Of Mist (July 14 in the U.S.).
