Mythology Agency proudly represents Cadaver for international live bookings.

Cadaver, one of Norway’s first and most influential death metal bands, has carved a distinctive path through the annals of extreme music since 1988. Cadaver’s vision blended thrash and death metal with progressive influences from bands like Voivod and the chaotic insanity of Napalm Death, forging a sound that defied conventions.

For over three decades, Cadaver has remained steadfast in their commitment to defying norms. From the raw brutality of Hallucinating Anxiety to the experimental audacity of The Age of the Offended, they have continually pushed boundaries while staying true to their ethos of rebellion and nonconformity. With Odden and Verbeuren at the helm, Cadaver’s legacy as death metal innovators is assured.

In 2024, Anders Odden delved deep into Cadaver’s history, unearthing unreleased material that offers a fascinating glimpse into the band’s formative years. Before signing with Earache Records in 1992, Cadaver had worked on what would eventually become their second album, …In Pains. During this period, they recorded raw and unpolished versions of many tracks in the same studio where Hallucinating Anxiety was born. These early recordings featured working titles that were later changed, and among them was a song titled “Maltreated Mind Makes Man Manic,” which was never completed at the time. Anders revisited these hidden gems at Studio Tomb, located in Råde, Norway—the very place where Cadaver was first formed. With the old lineup reunited for this session, they finished the additional recordings necessary to bring their original vision to life.

The result is Hymns of Misanthropy, a newly completed album from 1991 that will finally see the light of day through Listenable Records in April 2025. This release showcases Cadaver’s unique approach to extreme music and highlights their previously underappreciated influence on the early Norwegian black metal scene.

With their new album on the horizon Hymns of Misanthropy, listeners can experience a raw and powerful chapter of Cadaver’s history, demonstrating once again that they were never just a typical death metal band. Instead, they remain an ever-evolving force that consistently pushes the envelope of what extreme music can achieve.
