“When things change, I always embrace it. Change is what makes life interesting. If it’s all the same, nothing happens. But when everything turns upside down, you have to figure out how do everything a different way. Making music in these times is kind of liberating, you know? I know how soon things could end, so now I really don’t give a fuck.” (A. Odden, 2023)
Over 30 years into their nefarious saga, Cadaver remain one of the most unique and potent forces in contemporary heaviness. Formed in Norway in 1988 and led by founding vocalist/guitarist Anders Odden, they pioneered a strange and terrifying strain of death metal that proudly ignored the rulebook. Showcased on seminal debut 'Hallucinating Anxiety' and its sophisticated follow-up, '…In Pains' (1992), their commitment to a subversive ethos set them apart from the vast majority of like-minded bands.
In 2023, Cadaver are back once again to raise a scabby middle digit to the very notion of metal conformity. After a turbulent few years, during which he fought and won a battle with cancer, Odden and his drumming comrade Dirk Verbeuren have concocted a deranged and venomous follow-up to 2020’s widely acclaimed 'Edder & Bile'. Both true to the band’s primitive roots and an audacious, ground-breaking, psychedelic horror-show, 'The Age Of The Offended' is an angry, fucked up album for angry, fucked up times, defiantly created against the odds.
