Kadavar Essentials

Kadavar are so meticulous in their re-creation of early hard rock and metal that the long-haired Germans could very well be time travelers from the '70s. You can almost smell vintage leather and denim when cranking 2012's “All Our Thoughts,” a bluesy strutter loaded with violently ripping fret-work, splashing cymbals, and reverb-kissed wails. This vibe continues on “Doomsday Machine,” with the power trio adding gigantic Tony Iommi-style power chords to the mix. The lumbering “Into the Wormhole” is one of their heaviest jams, as it soaks every sound in belly-vibrating distortion and blasts out shaggy space metal.
