CADAVER US RELEASE DATE CONFIRMED

Philadelphia: Candlelight Records confirms April 20 as the US release date for the new album from Norway's Cadaver. Titled Necrosis, it is the fourth full-length album from the popular technical death metal band.

Signing with Candlelight Records in late 2003, Necrosis is sure to see Cadaver’s US fanbase and overall personnae expanding ten-fold. Once again the band, featuring vocalist Apollyon, drummer Czral, bassist LJ Balvaz with founding member/guitarist Neddo, attacks with an intense display of speed, sonic agility and menacing domination that rivals the genre’s best.

Formed in 1989, Cadaver released two albums (Hallucinating Anxiety, In Pains) before disbanding in 1993. Reformed (and renamed Cadaver Inc.) in 1999, the band released their third album, Discipline in 2001. Touring efforts put them on the radar for US fans - a nationwide trek seeing them alongside Morbid Angel. Coupled with their highly controversial web site, still under investigation by the Norwegian government, the band piqued US extreme music fan’s curiosity.

Dropping Inc from their name, Cadaver are poised to continue the onslaught they have long delivered. Candlelight is planning to premiere Cadaver on the label’s first ever showcase tour (currently planned to include Zyklon and Khold). This European run could see US dates for the fall. Watch for details.

Track listing for Necrosis is as follows: Necro as Fuck, Decomposed Meal Skin, Evil is Done, Odium, Awakening, Goat Father, Unholy Death, The Etching, Cleanser, Heartworm.

Candlelight Records, with offices in Philadelphia and headquartered in London, is distributed exclusively in the US by Caroline Distribution; in Canada by PHD Canada; throughout the rest of the world by Plastichead Music Distribution.
