Cadaver, one of Norway's first and most influential death metal bands, has carved a distinctive path through the annals of extreme music. Formed in 1988 in Fredrikstad by Anders Odden (guitar/vocals) and Ole Bjerkebakke (drums/vocals), the band emerged from the ashes of their earlier black metal project, Baphomet. Their 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.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 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.
