Kadavar release new single ‘Total Annihilation’

With “Total Annihilation” Kadavar ignite the next stage of their new album “K.A.D.A.V.A.R.” (release date: November 7 via Clouds Hill). The song is an uncompromising metal attack that sounds like the end of the world itself: loud, frenzied, and merciless.

Lupus / Kadavar on the song:

“Total Annihilation’ sounds like my idea of the end of the world: loud, frenzied, and merciless. It’s the final chaos, the ultimate self-destruction that we create ourselves—one last burst of noise before silence remains. And maybe we’re closer to that than we think”.

The track is accompanied by an energetic music video and marks the next highlight in the relaunch of the Berlin rock icons. After the spacey liberation of “I Just Want To Be A Sound” and the uncompromising comeback opener “Lies”, Lupus Lindemann, Tiger Bartelt, Simon Bouteloup, and newcomer Jascha Kreft return even rougher, harder, and angrier—showing that they have rekindled their fire.

With “K.A.D.A.V.A.R.” the band brings back the raw riff obsession of their early days, expanded with Kreft‘s fresh input. The result: a dark, angry doomsday record that acts as a beacon in times of global crisis.

The first press reviews of the album speak of “the booming return of one of the most important German rock bands” and a work that “combines the raw power of ‘Abra Kadavar’ with the creative breadth of ‘Isolation Tapes’.”

Alongside the single release, Kadavar have announced their updated tour dates for fall/winter 2024, with headline shows across Europe.
