Kadavar reanimate with fresh vibrancy on "I Just Want To Be A Sound"

Kadavar’s reputation as standard-bearers of powerful, 21st Century doom-influenced proto-metal earned them legions of shaggy haired acolytes from all corners of the globe. Even as the band played with genre conventions - expanding into proggy haute couture, folk-tinged gothic vampirism, and every nook and cranny in between - they never strayed too far from the heady formula at the root of their prehistoric sound. The band’s latest single, “I Just Want To Be A Sound,” seeks to toss off the dusty mantle of tradition once and for all, reimagining the band resplendent in a technicolor dreamcoat of new ideas and a fresh approach to their burgeoning legacy.
Reanimated with a brilliantly sunny new outlook, Kadavar unleashes massive riffs propelling impressive guitar heroics into a brilliant stratosphere of burnished britpop extravagance, swirling amidst a kaleidoscopic rhythm section that bursts into mesmerizing fractals of stadium-sized sound rendered with the band’s trademark technical proficiency and boundless authenticity. The overall effect starkly contrasts with Kadavar’s established catalog, fully embracing a newfound lightness of being with the same ardor as they once cloaked themselves in darkness. For a lot of bands, this hard transition would be difficult, if not outright impossible, to navigate, but Kadavar succeeds admirably, confidently blossoming into this new chapter.
