February 6, 2025 – Berlin, Germany – Berlin based rock band Kadavar have released the new music video for their single “I Just Want To Be A Sound”. It was directed by Maximilian Wiedenhofer and features Caelian del Mare, a highly acclaimed young German/Turkish actor and model from Berlin. Fans can now watch the video at this link: https://youtu.be/ryx-8vPlAEA

“When I heard the song for the first time, I started dreaming of a drifter and the displacement of his world. Hallucinating visualizations of sound, of dark shreds of the other side, where the digital begins to dream,” explains Wiedenhofer on the inspiration for the music video.

The song is taken from the band’s upcoming new album of the same name to be released May 16 via Clouds Hill.

“We have long been big fans of Maximilian Wiedenhofer and his work,” says Kadavar in a joint statement. “His unique visual language and often gloomy images bring a whole new color and perspective to the music he illustrates. For “I Just Want To Be a Sound”, for example, we focused exclusively on the sound, both musically and visually, and he contributed a completely new perspective on it. See for yourself.”

Kadavar has undergone a significant transformation on this path of sound development. From credible representatives of retroesque, psychedelic stoner rock – which always thrived on the contemporary coolness of Berlin, the city where Lupus and Tiger met in the hedonistic noughties – they soon ventured out into the big wide world. They not only showcased their musical ideas on stages in countless countries but also found new inspiration. While Kadavar initially sounded like the past, their sound became more and more contemporary over the years, shaped by the experience machine of extensive touring, crossing genre boundaries. Sound as a changing, universal language – that is what Kadavar have always known how to create. With its focus on change, ‘I Just Want To Be A Sound’ is also an ode to Berlin.

This week the band was announced as part of the 2025 Austin Psych Fest Lineup, along with artists like Dinosaur Jr, Explosions In The Sky, Kim Gordon, Yo La Tengo and more. The festival will take place April 25-27 in Austin, TX. Tickets are available at: www.bit.ly/PSYCH25

Kadavar have built a steadily growing fan base that worships them as heroes and follows their every move across five continents. Their successes speak volumes: their last two records landed in the top ten of the German album charts; they’ve written songs for Wolfmother and, most recently, Fantastische Vier. They’ve performed with Ozzy Osbourne and the Scorpions and headlined tours around the globe. The fact that the band now sounds surprisingly different in 2025 should come as no surprise to anyone who has observed their previous incarnations. Change has always been a constant for Kadavar. What remains unchanged is their raw power. Wherever they go, you can feel the intensity – in their songwriting, their dedication, their performances. In the sound! This is the transfer that makes Kadavar incomparable. They explore the potential of music, even in quiet nuances, while always retaining the power of their rock roots. Having grown as a band, they have fulfilled their mission of being completely immersed in their sound.
