Kadavar. Kids Abandoning Destiny Among (LP)

Break what breaks you: Just a few months after the spectacular relaunch of “I Just Wanna Be A Sound”, Berlin's rock royalty Kadavar are back with K.A.D.A.V.A.R. - a kind of second debut album. On it, the band combines the riff-lust of their early days with the creativity of the new four-piece constellation. And can happily report: The fun of music is back for good.

The spectrum ranges from the cheeky slacker rock of “Stick It” to the droning juggernaut of K.A.D.A.V.A.R. and the thrash metal club (!) “Total Annihilation”. Kadavar have probably never sounded more diverse and at the same time more archetypal. But that's the way it is when every band member contributes songs and ideas on an equal footing. At the end of the day, whether you call it hard rock, retro rock, classic rock, vintage rock, doom rock or just goddamn rock music, it doesn't matter: it rocks. And how. K.A.D.A.V.A.R. sounds familiar and new at the same time, paying tribute to yesterday without being stuck in it. And is one thing above all: an album overflowing with the joy of playing.
