Abra Kadavar

The rhythm and lead guitar on this album is insane... Is their guitarist the son of Toni Iommi or something? Wow, this album is well done in the 70's style hard rock. Each song is like an epic jam session but in an easily digestible run time so you can't really get bored with any of the songs and they each have their unique riffs and nuances. This album is ideal for the drive to work... it will get you fired up for sure with the rhythm it provides. Kadavar remind me a lot of Spiritual Beggars, The Mushroom River Band, and Fireball Ministry (all very fine bands).If you like jam oriented 70's garage style hard rock but in the new generation then this album is for you.Personal favorites on this album are: Come Back To Life, Doomsday Machine, Dust, and Liquid Dream. I also like Fire - it's kind of cool with its structure and various parts.Last but not least, you have to love the album cover because it makes the statement - 70's Garage Rock Power Trio.

I'm listening to it right now and loving it. I can't believe how good they sound. For all those who liked the first album or 70's hard rock and heavy metal, you will love this. The second track Doomsday Machine sounds so Volume 4-ish I just LOVE IT! This album seems to show a lot more Led Zeppelin influence than the last which I also LOVE. The bands overall sound is much more varied and the riffs are more creative and original. Their first album was awesome, but this one is better.

I've been eagerly awaiting the release of this album since about 30 seconds into listening to their awesome self-titled debut. A second album can make or break a band, and fortunately, Kadavar does not fall victim to the dreaded Sophomore Slump. Like their first album, there's no filler here. While there's no doubt that these guys have heard Sabbath's first four albums more than once, their influences obviously run a lot deeper than mere Ozzy-worship. If anything, Kadavar is all about celebrating the glory days of the Power Trio.Abra Kadavar isn't a carbon copy of their debut, however. The most noticeable difference is the live-in-the-studio sound. On the upside, this gives a spontaneous feel to the album and only furthers my resolve to see these guys live if they ever make it to my neck of the woods; the downside is that the sound is slightly muddier than their first album. Still, as long as Lupus Lindemann is able to deliver that nasty wah-wah sound, I'm gonna be happy, and there's plenty of nasty guitar work to be found here.Too many metal bands approach songwriting as a matter of cutting-and-pasting riffs together in Pro Tools; Kadavar's music feels organic, as if the songs were honed from epic jam sessions. More of this, please!Bottom line: I'm on my second listen as I write this, and I know that it's going to be listened to at least once a day for the next couple of weeks. To me, that's the sign of a great album.

Not only do these guys look like they fell through a wormhole in 1974, they sound like it. Good heavy power trio in that classic vein! Every time I listen to this I am blown away at how good the guitar playing is. It is very unfortunate how radio ignores Kadavar, Graveyard and Orchid but keeps regurgitating old, worn out classic rock. Definitely one of the best rock albums released in 2013.

First album ruled... Second album, well... Rules too! This album has a little more diversity than the first record, and has more of a "Jam" aspect to it as well. More Hendrix / Allman brothers influence than Sabbath this time around. Also has more parts to the songs, less drudging in the same key Doom style. I think it's a great follow up record, and can't wait to see them here in the states!

Very solid metal album in the vein of Black Sabbath

Listening to Kadavar, is like going back to the 70s and putting the the best of Sabbath, Uriah Heep, Hawkwind, and Zepplin all into one band and coming up with KADAVAR. These guys Rock the way Rock should sound keep them coming like this and you can't go wrong!!! AAA+++

These rock and roll wizards have conjured some really sweet riffs and magically embedded them into a black disc. You won't find any ballads here. Highly recommended for anyone who digs retro style recording, 70s riffage, and etc. from the school of Sabbath.

Llegó de un día para otro, a un super precio y además es una edición de disco doble del mejor Stoner rock

In general, the bearded men from Kadavar did not disappoint again. They gave the listeners exactly what was expected of them, mixing the music of the 70s, catchy choruses and gloom in half with infernal fun. Ideally!

Rapidez en la entrega y vinilo fantastico

its a great album, but they sent me the wrong cover.the one pictured is the one I wanted, with the new bass player)(the one that was sent was with the old one and the original album cover)otherwise the album, and live album is great retro metal with the obvious Sabbath feel.

... nämlich der "Retro-Welle"!Das machen sie verdammt gut, schon mit ihrem selbstbetitelten Debütalbum haben sie für ordentlich Furore gesorgt. Das Geheimnis der drei Berliner ist ihre Authentizität, nicht nur das sie aussehen als ob sie aus einer Zeit-Kapsel gestiegen wären, nein, die drei Berliner mit den zotteligen Rauschebärten nehmen ihre Musik auch mit dem Equipment der damaligen Zeit auf.Das kann man meiner Meinung nach auch hören, ich denke das man den Vergleich mit Veröffentlichungen aus den 70ern nicht scheuen muss.Im Gegensatz zum Debütalbum wirken die Songs ein wenig "straighter" auf mich, viel rockiger und härter. Das ändert aber nichts daran, dass KADAVAR an die frühen Krautrock-Formationen, sowie an Bands wie HAWKWIND, LED ZEPPELIN und auch ein klein wenig an BLACK SABBATH, erinnern. Auf "Abra Kadavar" sind die Krautrock-Einflüsse nicht mehr ganz so allgegenwärtig wie noch auf dem Vorgänger, hier gibt es sehr viel mehr 70er-Jahre Hard Rock zu hören.Auch "Abra Kadavar" überzeugt im Gesamten, allerdings gibt es mit "Come Back Life", "Dust", "Fire" und "Doosday Machine" dieses Mal einige Songs die "Hit-Potential" haben. Diese Nummern wären dann auch meine Anspieltipps, die restlichen Songs sind aber keineswegs schwach oder langweilig, das Songmaterial von "Abra Kadavar" bewegt sich auf einem ganz hohen Niveau!Mein Fazit: KADAVAR haben es geschafft sich zu steigern und weiterzuentwickeln, Stillstand konnte ich bei den drei Berlinern nicht feststellen. Die Songs sind sehr viel eingängiger und rockiger als auf dem Vorgänger, das macht richtig viel Spaß!Wer bereits den Vorgänger mochte, der kann hier ungehört zuschlagen! Wer zur "Krautrock-Generation" gehört oder sich generell der 70er-Jahre-Rockmusik verschrieben hat, der muss hier unbedingt einmal reinhören - lohnt sich!Meine Bewertung: 8,5 von 10 Punkten.
