Kadavar

If you were to read the bio of Berlin based band Kadavar, you would see something to the effects of “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!” Their talent, as exemplified by their live show, luckily very well backs up the whimsical claim that they make.

As the hirsute band members take their place and pick up their instruments, their hair hides most of their facial features, a pattern that remains throughout the entire show. I really enjoy their sound; it’s great in your face, yet unique guitar rock. Hair flailing, even the members of the crowd are excessive head banging; enough to last the entire hour-long set. Between songs they are soft spoken, but when they rock out, they have an energy that cannot be faked. Their fans absolutely love them, and feed them to have the most energetic live set that you could ever watch.
