Cadaver

Cadaver is a Norwegian death-metal band formed in 1988. DeBaser's review frames them as an early contributor to European death metal and a cult act, but criticizes songwriting, vocals and production.

Formed in 1988; first demo released in 1989; album Hallucinating Anxiety released in 1990 (reviewed); band split around 1992 and later resurrected under the name Cadaver Inc (mentioned as happening in 2000 in the review). Considered influential in early European death metal but often overlooked.

The single DeBaser review casts Cadaver as an historically important Norwegian death-metal act whose artistic output is judged limited. The album Hallucinating Anxiety is noted for raw production, thrash and grind influences, and sporadic strong riffs. Vocals, song structures and recording quality are criticized, yet the band's early influence on European death metal is acknowledged. The review frames Cadaver as a cult band often overlooked.

For:Fans of early death metal, collectors of Norwegian metal history, listeners who value historical influence over polished production.
