The world’s leading scientists recently declared in unison: time travel can no longer be considered fiction but reality! Neither did their certainty originate from hypothetical thought experiments, nor from years of testing in isolated laboratories. It was the record of a rock trio from Berlin, Germany, that had dropped into the professors’ laps out of the blue and led them to proclaim joyfully: “Warm, intense, authentic – doubtlessly a gift from bygone times!”
It was already with 2012’s eponymous debut album "Kadavar" that KADAVAR casted a spell on all fans of solid riff-driven yet doom-like 70’s hard rock à la BLACK SABBATH or PENTAGRAM. Marrying this with the spacy psychedelic approach of early HAWKWIND and mixing in a distinct own touch while preserving their icon’s warm vintage charm can doubtlessly be considered the trio’s key to success – astoundingly high vinyl sales and support shows for bands such as SLEEP, SAINT VITUS, PENTAGRAM and ELECTRIC WIZARD as well as stunning festival gigs at “Stoned From The Underground”, “Yellowstock” and “Fusion Festival”, among others, underline KADAVAR’s status as one of the scene’s most exciting acts.
There’s time until April 12, 2013 to grow a full beard, resole your platform shoes and iron your bell-bottoms. From then on, KADAVAR invite us to escape the 21st century’s soulless musical mishmash once again by entering the realms of “Abra Kadavar“ – down-to-earth handmade classic rock from a time when music still used to be true art!
After spending the last 4 months in the studio, working on it non-stop, Berlin, the classic rock overlords have finalized the production process of their brand new album. The third album will be entitled »Berlin« and is slated for an August 21, 2015 release.
In the beginning of 2017 the band prepared to start a new album cycle by literally rolling up their sleeves and building a brand new recording studio from scratch. Over 100 square metres inside an industrial complex in the area of Neukölln in Berlin is now their creative haven and workplace alike.
Along with the release of their fourth studio album »Rough Times«, the band went back on the road and performed their new work on a five-week tour through Europe together with label mates MANTAR and Dutch newcomers DEATH ALLEY. With their relentless drive to play live and deliver ecstatic jams, KADAVAR have managed to surpass the expectations of their audience with every time around. Since their first appearance in Copenhagen at HEAVY DAYS IN DOOMTOWN in 2013, Denmark´s capitol and especially the charm of the audience has always entranced the band and resulted in powerful performances, not uncommonly followed by savage nights. Their set at Pumpehuset (»Live In Copenhagen«) in November 2017 left the cheering audience spellbound and deaf.
