Kadavar

About

Founded in 2010, Kadavar is a German rock band from Berlin. The band currently consists of guitarist and lead vocalist Christoph "Lupus" Lindemann, drummer Christoph "Tiger" Bartelt, bassist Simon "Dragon" Bouteloup, and guitarist and keyboardist Jascha Kreft. Kadavar's retro style blends psychedelic rock and stoner rock elements, drawing comparisons to legendary 1970s hard rock and heavy metal bands such as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. The group was originally formed as a trio by Bartelt and Lindemann alongside bassist Philipp "Mammut" Lippitz. When Lippitz departed in July 2013, Bouteloup joined as his replacement. Following the release of six studio albums, Kadavar expanded to a quartet in March 2023 with the addition of Kreft.
