Kadavar Post “Into the Wormhole” Video; Rough Times out Sept. 29

I’ve got Kadavar‘s new album, Rough Times, slated for review next week, so you’ll pardon me if I don’t say too much about it here while I’m still gathering my thoughts for the inevitable brainsplurge to come, but suffice it to say that when I think about the record, this song plays a big role in the overarching impression I get from it. Like their preceding video for “Die Baby Die” (posted here), this one for “Into the Wormhole” speaks to the more metallic tonality on display in Rough Times‘ earlier cuts, whether it’s the opening title-track or the surprisingly thickened “Skeleton Blues.”

Though that’s only part of what the full record ultimately has on offer before moving into the classically motoring “Words of Evil” and the Southern-tinged “You Found the Best in Me” on side B, the cynical worldview (and why not?) and harsher approach is new ground for Kadavar, who even in modernizing their production style across 2015’s Berlin (review here) after positioning themselves are retro-rock forerunners with their first two albums, 2013’s Abra Kadavar (review here) and 2012’s self-titled debut (discussed here), didn’t come nearly as close to anything quite so aggressive in tone as they do in “Into the Wormhole.”

But as the title says, these are Rough Times. There’s a ton or two of PR wire info included with the video — tour dates and all that — and again, with the review coming up, I’m going to leave it there, but the moral of the story is that if you thought after Berlin you knew what Kadavar were all about or where they were headed in terms of sound, “Into the Wormhole” will very likely make short work of that notion.

Enjoy:

Kadavar, “Into the Wormhole” official video

Berlin, Germany-based rock overlords KADAVAR have released the official music video for the brand new song “Into The Wormhole”. The track comes off their eagerly awaited fourth studio album, Rough Times.

The video was shot at Sphaèros Art Cave in Paris, France, directed by Luizo Vega (Studio V). The video starring actor AQUA NEBULA OSCILLATOR singer David Sphaèros follows a concept by drummer Tiger.

Commented Tiger: “The darkness that surrounds us when reality seems like a big black hole, those times when we try to turn around trying to escape the gravity of modern life looking for the shortcut to a more pleasant one, our biggest wish is that wormholes do exist and can take us to another dimension. A place where our thoughts are not poisoned and our souls can resonate freely. Playing music together has always been an attempt to enter this rare state of mind where everything is fine for just a second. While ‘Into The Wormhole’ is rather slow and possibly the heaviest song we have ever written, it philosophies about the shortcuts to enter the state of bliss at speed of light, the WORMHOLE.

Our history with our french buddies in AQUA NEBULA OSCILLATOR, goes far behind and each of us has tried in their own way to find salvation through music. This is why I’ve had the idea to ask singer and main brain David Sphaèros to open the doors to his infamous caves in the Parisian underground for us to collaborate for this video. Being able to get Luizo Vega on board as a director, who has just worked on Dracula’s Not Dead, pushed the whole thing just in the right direction.”

Rough Times will be released on September 29 via Nuclear Blast.
