Berlin-based heavy rock forerunners Kadavar have announced the addition to their lineup of second guitarist and keyboardist Jascha Kreft, making them a four-piece for the first time. Recent years and outings have seen the band greatly expand their style, even before the pandemic-informed The Isolation Tapes (review here) or their subsequent collaboration with Elder upped those stakes.

Considering that, it makes sense that the band might want the flexibility that having an additional guitar on stage might add, let alone any future continued expansion of their craft on subsequent releases. Jascha Kreft also plays in Berlin’s Odd Couple, and the first to see him feature as a part of Kadavar will be those fortunate enough to attend the band’s upcoming Spring tour alongside Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats and Gaupa, which kicks off April 19 in Hamburg and runs through and beyond a stop at Desertfest London 2023, where they’ll play as part of the kind of lineup you tell your grandchildren about.

Can you dig it? Of course you can. Here’s to personal (and collective) growth:

Dear friends, from this year there will be a big change, because now there are four of us.

Our longtime friend @jaschakreft, well known to many from his band @oddcoupleberlin, will join us on guitars and keys. Get your tickets for our upcoming tour with Graveyard in April/ May.

See you there, wir haben bock.
