For the Dead Travel Fast

Do you remember the final scene of “The Fearless Vampire Killers”? The one with dozing Professor Abronsius in his coach, unaware of what he’s bringing back withhim from the east? 50 years on, Kadavar did the exact same thing. They ventured east – and brought something with them: A gothic horror story turned doom rock.With a decidedly morbid turn, Europe’s hardest working rock band unearth their dark and twisted roots, once and for all defining their unique brand of retro rock,doom and proto metal. Aptly entitled "For The Dead Travel Fast" after German gothic poet Gottfried August Bürger, their doomed fifth record is a perilous journey into the land of the dead, a foray into the bleakest corners of our minds. A heavy, slow-paced, throbbing force of guitar, bass and drums, preciously enriched by spooky synthsand a brooding narrative reminiscent of the Victorian death-cult. Beware, this is Kadavar gone pitch-black!
