The Press Release:
Norwegian death metallers CADAVER, are proud to announce they have signed to Nuclear Blast Records.Today, the band also announce the release of their D.G.A.F. digital EP. In celebration of the EP, the band offer fans a lyric video for the title track which features Jeff Walker of CARCASS. Watch the video for “D.G.A.F.” here:
Anders Odden states, “In 1989 Cadaver got signed to Necrosis Records owned by Jeff Walker and Bill Steer from Carcass. Cadavers debut album, “Hallucinating Anxiety” was released in 1990 as Norway’s first death metal LP. Now, in 2020 Nuclear Blast have embraced the resurrection of Cadaver and release the EP D.G.A.F. with a tip of the hat to the legacy of Carcass. Jeff Walker even join us in the chorus this time around. We are super stoked to release this beast during this very special time. Get your mind off the craziness and enjoy old school death metal”
Dirk Verbeuren comments, “As a legendary band once said, extreme conditions demand extreme responses. We were going to release a 3 song EP sometime after our new album came out, but then a global pandemic happened. While the full-length will arrive at a later date, here’s D.G.A.F. in all its brutal glory and on Nuclear Blast, which we couldn’t be more stoked about. Consider these misanthropic death metal hymns our soundtrack to the end of days.”
D.G.A.F. is a 3 track digital EP that was recorded and mixed at Northwood Sound Studios in Hollywood, CA. The EP was produced by CADAVER in tandem with Adair Daufembach who also handled the engineering. The album features guest vocals from CARCASS’ Jeff Walker on the title track. For the artwork, the band enlisted Adam Medford and Justin Bartlett.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: Having listened to each of these musicians for years in assorted other main and project-based bands the news of this offering is rather exciting. I did give a listen to the song in the video link up above and found it to my liking. It’s a no-holds barred Death Metal track but not too over the top for those who might fear the genre just a little bit. My hope is that more things like this come to pass as we find ourselves dealing with this great unknown of a pandemic. I’d rather be reporting on this sort of thing than share cancellation after cancellation after cancellation. In the coming weeks I will look into reviewing the EP for good measure and as I close up this more positive announcement I wonder what the masses think about the news and this sample track. Please chime in down below in the comments section and I will be back as soon as more news comes to be. I’m going to also ask that you remain safe during this very questionable time since we don’t 100% know what is going on. Ciao for now.
