Artist Biography
Steeped in the bluesy, brooding, bottom-heavy, and prog traditions of bands like Black Sabbath, Hawkwind, and Led Zeppelin, German psych rock trio Kadavar unapologetically spin '70s-era hard rock tropes into contemporary stoner metal gold. Known for their explosive live shows, the band play hundreds of dates a year, and have done so since issuing their 2010 self-titled debut. That hard work paid off as each album sold better than its predecessor. Their third album, 2017's Rough Times, entered the German album charts at 18. 2019's For the Dead Travel Fast registered inside the U.S. metal Top 20 by celebrating all things fuzzy, trippy, and creepy. 2020 saw the band move to Berlin's Robotor Records, and release the uncharacteristically moody The Isolation Tapes during the pandemic. At the end of 2021, Kadavar teamed with American ex-pats Elder to release the conceptual, six-song, prog-psych tome Eldovar: A Story of Darkness & Light.
