The world’s leading scientists recently declared in unison: time travel can no longer be considered fiction but reality! Neither did their certainty originate from hypothetical thought experiments, nor from years of testing in isolated laboratories. It was the record of a rock trio from Berlin, Germany, that had dropped into the professors’ laps out of the blue and led them to proclaim joyfully: “Warm, intense, authentic – doubtlessly a gift from bygone times!”

It was already with 2012’s eponymous debut album that KADAVAR casted a spell on all fans of solid riff-driven yet doom-like 70’s hard rock à la BLACK SABBATH or PENTAGRAM. Marrying this with the spacy psychedelic approach of early HAWKWIND and mixing in a distinct own touch while preserving their icon’s warm vintage charm can doubtlessly be considered the trio’s key to success – astoundingly high vinyl sales and support shows for bands such as SLEEP, SAINT VITUS, PENTAGRAM and ELECTRIC WIZARD as well as stunning festival gigs at “Stoned From The Underground”, “Yellowstock” and “Fusion Festival”, among others, underline KADAVAR’s status as one of the scene’s most exciting acts.

Carrying the experiences of dozens of played live shows as a source of inspiration inside them, KADAVAR entered the timeless space of their studio end of last year to procure supplies for their ever growing fan base that was starving for more – in the form of their second full-length album and debut on Nuclear Blast. “After last year’s final show had been played in mid-December, we started writing new songs”, drummer and studio owner Tiger recalls. “We’ve already had a couple of finished tracks in May 2012, but those were eventually released on a split-LP with AQUA NEBULA OSCILLATOR in November 2012, which is why we started at square one again. As we knew that there was no procrastination and no going back for us, we sat down for two weeks straight to finish composing with total commitment. We’re perfectly happy with the outcome – I’d even say that “Abra Kadavar” comprises the best compositions we’ve created to date. The songs are more diversified, the ideas feel more spontaneous. Moreover, we’ve tried to capture much more of our live energy, which is why we’ve recorded almost everything all together in one room, with the amps turned up to the max – solely the vocals and a handful of guitar solos were added afterwards.”

There’s time until April 12, 2013 to grow a full beard, resole your platform shoes and iron your bell-bottoms. From then on, KADAVAR invite us to escape the 21st century’s soulless musical mishmash once again by entering the realms of “Abra Kadavar“ – down-to-earth handmade classic rock from a time when music still used to be true art!

BUFFALO SUMMER

Hailing from South Wales, Buffalo Summer are an “effortlessly up beat; groove-laden; sing along balls out rock n roll band.”

Freshly formed a couple of years ago, a lot has happened since the band’s inception. With an insatiable appetite and desire to make their mark, the band released their self titled album to critical acclaim in the national music press.

Playing bluesy, southern, soulful tinged rock with a modern twist, Classic Rock Magazine had this to say: –

“A little Zeppelin here, a touch of Skynyrd there and a big helping of Free pretty much though out… What’s really impressive here is the hunger and conviction of the delivery”

In the live arena the boys bring the soul from the coal.

“Guitarist Jonny, vocalist Andrew, drummer Gareth and bassist Darren possess an uber-cool, ultra rare nowadays, stage presence and a musical tightness and togetherness to die for.”  • (Uber Rock Live Review)

It’s why they have pulled some high profile support slots including Duff McKagan, Ugly Kid Joe, Skid Row with much more to come.

Its gonna be a long hot summer when the Buffalo rolls into town. Hold them horns tight… it’s gonna be a hell of a ride.

plus: THE CULT OF DOM KELLER

A love of all sounds strange brought these four dark psych bluesmen together in the Autumn of 2008

Four humans who make strange sounds described as such by witnesses:

“These Nottingham based psychedelicists may well be the coolest thing in fuzz washed fringe parting chemical blues right at this very moment. Pissing in the same lysergic swamp as the likes of Black Angels and Brian Jonestown Massacre they craft out a deliciously hazily glazed mind blown tapestry of trip wiring third eye transcendentalism, indelibly treated with a vintage craftsmanship trademarked in the 60’s they’re working knowledge of the rudiments of psyche blues is second to none causing all amount of wig flipped flashbacks in our gaff given it sounds like some shimmering shade adorned slice of mojo tooting kaleidoscopia dreamed up by a studio gathering of members from Spacemen 3, My Jealous God and a few rogue Weather Prophets. Consider yourselves warned”  •  LOSING TODAY

“Cult of Dom Keller sound like they’ve fallen from the back of Ken Kesey’s legendary LSD loaded magic bus, down ‘n’ dirty slabs of fried freak beat are sumptuously decoded within a swamp infested heavy beatnik chassis, part acid laced shade wearing psyche and part heavy stoner goo, a wasted baby laced with hazy 60’s sourced keys and looping gridlocked riffs of mind expanding proportions; a blissed out frenzied fuzz laced tripping haze and bone rattling f**k you,a bludgeoned blues bastardisation spewed out by a tranced out Brian Jonestown Massacre amid an impenetrably squalling sonic wall feedback fisticuffs with a volatile 13th Floor Elevators”  •  LOSINGTODAY.COM

“Dom Keller hail from Nottingham and are currently stumbling in a rather aggressive haze around the country. ‘We Left Our World’ is a trippy soup of Stooges/Black Sabbath meets Acid Mothers Temple with the singer from Suicide showing up to mumble something occasionally. Dom Keller’s mix of all out rock and psychedelic manipulations of overall sound are captivating. If Iggy Pop, Tony Iommi, Lou Reed and Kawabata Makoto went to the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, Dom Keller would be the house band!”  •  MOOSE FACTORY

“Fans of space-rock, early Floyd and Hawkwind in particular, should look out for Dom Keller, whose four track self-titled CD is a feast of crushing guitar riffs, effects and psychedelic madness. Their stated mission is “To document our hallucinations into sonic impressions”, something they achieve!”  •  TERRASCOPE
