- New genres establish themselves outside of the musical mainstream all the time. They come and go--and sometimes they come back. In the last 10 years, we've observed the development of a subculture in some underground scene clubs, in which musicians are heavily oriented toward the 60s and 70s: sitar tones in 20-minute pieces, live visuals with oil paints and overhead projectors, but also sounds in which one can hear the unmistakable influence of Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, and Led Zeppelin, the metal bands of the original era. Kadavar is one of these bands. Formed in 2010, the three twenty-somethings look as if they were taken directly from that time period. The film offers a glimpse into the everyday lives of these three musicians, who already belong amongst the most successful bands in their genre, at the beginning of their carriers.
