Eirini “Absinthe Green” Papadopoulou (born August 13, 1986, in Athens, Greece) is a female singer and bassist.

Early life

Growing up in a small country town in Peloponnese where the musical activities were limited, Green got her initial music incentives by her father and she started being interested in learning music at an early age. By the age of four she started taking music education classes, she had her first live performance as a singer in a town's conservatory event and by the age of six she had already composed her first keyboard pieces.

Musical career

Her musical career goes back to 2000 when she started singing and playing keyboards in a classic rock and heavy metal cover band. In 2003, she formed the thrash metal band Deranged. After 2 years of performances and the release of their Full Blown Madness EP, the band was disbanded due to studies and military obligations of its members. During this time, she joined the old school metal act Art of Negation as a singer and song writer, while she continued her classical and modern singing classes as well as Music studies in the university. After that she collaborated with various acts of the Greek metal scene. In 2007, she joined the industrial Gothic metal band Mora as a bass player and backing vocalist. A year later, she joined the Athenian dark metal band Randomwalk as a bassist. She remained in RandomWalk until after the release of their second studio album, entitled Absolution. In 2011, Green decided to leave the band as she relocated in Germany to join Enemy of the Sun, the thrash metal band of the metal producer Waldemar Sorychta. In 2012, Green decided to leave the band, stating personal reasons, as well as differences with the band's philosophy.[1]
