Alice's Inferno is the debut album by the Spanish band Forever Slave, released on September 26, 2005.^[1]It followed three demos; Hate (2000), Schwarzer Engel (2001) and Resurrection (2004). It is a concept album, dealing with the life of Alice, after her parents have deceased. Like a lot of gothic metal, death vocals and Gregorian chanting is used, as well as a very high proportion of symphonic orchestral elements. Lyrics are akin to gothic imagery, linking to Alice's story: death, despair, darkness, spirits, temptation and hell.

[edit] Story

Alice's Inferno is inspired by Alice in Wonderland and the Dante's Inferno (Divina Comedia). Although the story is a bit different. Alice's Inferno tells the story of a teenager who was admitted in a psychiatric hospital after having been accused of killing her parents. Alice didn't remember anything about that. When she was 16 years old her boyfriend in the psychiatric hospital died in a similar situation. Everything pointed to her again and she didn't remember anything. That's why she travels to her own hell, her subconscious mind. Suicide, violence, love, dark atmospheres, the lost paradise of drugs, madness, sickness and the most pure Romantic philosophies are mixed in this CD.^[3]
