Kadavar – Hysteria

Kadavar – Hysteria

Back in January we got treated to the brand new single and sound for Berlin quartet Kadavar! It was called I Just Want To Be A Sound and moved more toward psychedelic pop, an MGMT take and something a kin of an overture. And now they complement that sound with Hysteria, which offers some Muse nods, Queen gestures and an eighties throbbing pulse. The rest of the album will be out on May 16th through Cloud Hill Records. For now, we’ve got Hysteria!

KADAVAR
RELEASE SECOND SINGLE + MUSIC VIDEO FOR “HYSTERIA”

UPCOMING NEW ALBUM
“I JUST WANT TO BE A SOUND”
TO BE RELEASED MAY 16, VIA CLOUDS HILL

Berlin, Germany – Berlin based rock band Kadavar have shared the second single from their upcoming new album ‘I Just Want To Be A Sound’ out May 16 via Clouds Hill.
 
“Hysteria” – with its pulsing, dark rhythm brings the listener into a hypnotic state of mind. Its lyrics explore themes of mental and physical disarray, portraying a sense of confusion, overstimulation, and self-destruction. The repeated refrain of “Hysteria” adds to the overwhelming, frantic atmosphere, spiraling under pressure.

“We wrote this song down from the feeling of words losing their meaning, when even a stream of consciousness can’t keep up to make sense of the inner chaos” says the band “As a state mixed with constant overstimulation and terrifying news, it might just fit this time we’re living in”.
 
“We teamed up with our friend James Barry and award-winning DOP Lucas Fiederling, developing the idea of a dystopian fever theme” adds the band on the new music video “It serves as an extended trailer for a fictional film about a virus that drains the life from humanity through “smart” technologies. His main inspiration was Tetsuo: The Iron Man. We shot the video on the coldest days of the year - but it was worth it!”.

“Hysteria” follows the single “I Just Want To Be A Sound” – the title track of Kadavar’s new album – released last month upon the album’s announcement. The song was added to top playlists with Spotify, Apple, Deezer and TIDAL, gaining traction on lists like Metal Injection’s Top Tracks of the Week, Fresh Noise, New In Rock, Hot New Rock and more.
 
Fans can stream the track on digital platforms here and watch the official music video for the song here. The video was directed by Maximilian Wiedenhofer and features Caelian del Mare, a highly acclaimed young German/Turkish actor and model from Berlin.
 
‘I Just Want To Be A Sound’ is a manifesto for freedom, transformation and radical presence. An album that repeatedly abandons itself in order to reincarnate in new forms. Rock anthem, ballad, pop song, epic and earthly alternate seamlessly and virtuously. Free and full of momentum.
