Cainites - Biography


Biography

Under the same mark of Cain and within the same universe filled with the eternal night, Cainites is the name of the melodic death metal duo oozing darkness and blood from every song of their debut album 'Revenant'.

From the ashes of the Italian gothic doom masters Motus Tenebrae, rise the two Orthodox vampire priests: Andrea Falaschi aka Frater Orion (Deathless Legacy, Motus Tenebrae, Rodedentro) on vocals drums and keyboards, and Daniele Ciranna (Motus Tenebrae) on guitars and bass.

In 'Revenant', they groan in the shadows they have been locked in for centuries, as punishment - the shadows of the vampires. They can’t end their endless lives, but just follow the most brutal survival instinct, that makes them feed on human blood.

"Revenant is a concept album that talks about an old Orthodox Priest who became a Vampire against his will. Oscillating between a sense of abandonment by the divine and moving away from the light, and the manifestation of a faith that is still present with continuous pleas to God to stop him from his relentless bloodshed, yearning for a redemption that cannot be reached."

Through their dark, melodic death metal influenced by Insomnium, The Vision Bleak, Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, Septicflesh, they create their own mystique, portraying the curse and the mark they have to carry - that of those longing for the light they’ve been banned from, forever.
