German Proto-Metal Power Trio Kadavar Announces North American Headlining Tour
Blues-Bruised Band Reinterprets the Masters to Intoxicating, Addictive Effect!
Berlin psychedelic hard rock trio Kadavar ~ Christoph “Lupus” Lindemann (guitar / vocals), Simon “Dragon” Bouteloup (bass) and Christoph “Tiger” Bartelt (drums) ~ has announced a North American headlining tour, set to kick off on April 4 in Houston, TX. The scheduled five week trek ~ presented by Scion AV ~ will see the band take the stage in 25 major markets across the U.S. and Canada, bringing its much talked about live show and deep daze retro-metal to as many music fans as possible. Kadavar continues to thrill audiences across the globe, touring in support of its semi-self-titled debut LP Abra Kadavar, a record that “…takes us back to the origins of metal” (Popmatters) and is a “…perfectly styled 70s psych-metal from a Berlin trio that cheated on Led Zeppelin with Pentagram” (SPIN). Abra Kadavar is out now via Nuclear Blast Records HERE.

More accolades from the press:
“The sound is flawless. Kadavar are legit.” – Decibel
“Kadavar’s stoner rock has a proto-metal vibe that goes way beyond mere Sabbath worship. Power, conviction and piles of twisted soul constitute the real reason to check these guys out. The blown-out production, which makes the album sound like an ancient demo tape unearthed from some charnel vault, is another excellent feature.” – MTV Iggy
“…supremely badass rock & roll…” – Austin Chronicle
“Beamed in from a time when heavy rock meant heavy riffs instead of a million genre-specific mutations…like a lost treasure from 1970…” – The Big Takeover
