Episode 504 is KADAVAR. On first listen, you would think this is some overlooked 1970s heavy metal outfit. Nope; they’re a contemporary trio out of Germany who has been touring and recording over the last decade. They do an expert job of recreating not just the sound of 70s thunder rock but the look too (check out the album cover below). On the two most recent albums (one a collaboration) they venture into prog metal, with some of the best Pink Floyd mimicry I’ve heard (and it’s good).
Favorite album: Abra Kadavar
Favorite song: Come Back Life
Most interesting album: The Isolation Tapes
Compared to expectations: ↑
Recommendation: Yes. I enjoyed discovering them and look forward to their next output.
