Review
A
lot of live albums I’ve listened to recently have really
disappointed me. As the overall sound of the album has been too flat
or the live album doesn’t match up to the classic live albums that
were released years ago. Kadavar have just released their 2nd
live album with Live In Copenhagen and it’s an album I wanted to
change my overall conception of modern live albums.
Kadavar’s
last live album “Live In Antwerp” was released in 2014 before the
band released their “breakthrough” album, Berlin back in 2015.
Berlin was an album that made people finally take notice of Kadavar
and their excellent blend of Classic Rock, Blues Rock, Psych and
Stoner Rock riffs.
Live
In Antwerp was a very good and highly entertaining album that showed
the full power of Kadavar’s classic rock sound. However it left me
wanting more. As I’ve seen Kadavar live in action and the album
failed to show the bands majestic live performance. So I was a little
bit worried when the band announced a new live album with Live In
Copenhagen.
I
shouldn’t have worried. As this album is one of the best live
albums I’ve heard in some time. The album is bang on point by
presenting Kadavar as a true force of nature. This is Kadavar at
their majestic best. They’ve picked the best songs to perform from
their superb back catalogue.
Kadavar
blast their way through songs such as: Skeleton Blues, Doomsday
Machine, Pale Blue Eyes, Into The Wormhole, Die Baby Die, Black Sun
and many more. The whole atmosphere is very raw but that works to the
albums favour.
Live
In Copenhagen is ALL KILLER AND NO FILLER. Kadavar are one of the
hardest touring bands currently working in the Stoner Rock scene
today. The band never seem to stop touring at the moment and Live In
Copenhagen proves why their fans will see the band as many times they
possibly can.
I
will admit I was slightly underwhelmed by Kadavar’s last album –
Rough Times. However, listening to some of the songs from the album
played live, has allowed me to revisit that album and I rate it more
highly. It took some time for me to finally come round and I’m
contributing that change of heart to this live album.
Live
In Copenhagen is light-years ahead of Live In Antwerp. As Kadavar
have matured as musicians and have a more magnetic stage presence. If
you’re a long-time fan of Kadavar then Live In Copenhagen is an
essential record to add to your existing Kadavar record collection.
Live
In Copenhagen ranks as one of the best live albums I’ve heard in a
long time….
Excellent
and Highly Recommended.
