Review
Psych Stoner Rockers Kadavermarch make a welcome return with their new self-titled EP which contains three tracks lasting over sixteen minutes. The band open the EP with Rabbit Killer and it has a slight Occult Rock/Proto-Doom sound which is boosted by a classic Heavy Metal style of music with the bombastic Stoner Metal attitude allowing the band to be quite contemporary in places. The vocals are excellent with them being clean based and influenced from the Seventies Hard Rock scene with influences ranging from Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult.
One of the main standout parts of the EP is most definitely the Organs provided by Jeppe and he adds some wickedly deceptive Proto-Doom and Psych Rock elements that has a free-flowing 1960’s attitude at times. Kadavermarch wander effortlessly from the different eras of the last sixty years of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal scene within the short runtime of the EP and that’s a huge accomplishment to achieve but the band do this with style, grace and originality.
The other two tracks Golden Gates and The Great Escape sees the band drift into areas of Southern Rock and Americana with the tracks retaining a sense of Stoner Rock/Metal heaviness with some outstanding instrumental melodies being played against the kick-ass vocals from Andreas and Aske. There are moments of Country Rock being given a Doomed Out makeover and it’s quite an intoxicating mix when Kadavermarch embraces a more riff-centric style of music with the twin guitars from Andreas and Ken being the strongest part of the EP. Credit must also goto Rune on Bass and Aske on Drums who lay down the instrumental groundwork for the other members to benefit from.
Kadavermarch have unleashed a truly breathtaking EP which has ace Danish Singer and Producer Jacob Bredahl on mixing duties and the legendary Brad Boatright on mastering duties. So the band have top-notch talent helping them make a quality release and it sounds superb throughout.
My advice if you’re new to Kadavermarch’s world then this is the perfect way to find out about this great band. If you’re already a fan then you’re in for an absolute treat. End Of.
