Just a few months after their spectacular reboot, "I Just Want To Be A Sound," Kadavar return to the source of their primal fuzz power. "Kids Abandoning Destiny Among Vanity And Ruin" blends stoner, doom, and classic rock.

With "I Just Want To Be A Sound," Kadavar surprised more than just their fans. Compared to their previous albums, the album was more pop-oriented and a sonic manifesto for freedom and reinvention. The quartet's incredible creativity and productivity is demonstrated by their next album. The spectrum ranges from the cheeky slacker rock of "Stick It" to the droning juggernaut of "KADAVAR" to the thrash metal blast of "Total Annihilation." Kadavar have probably never sounded more diverse and archetypal.

But that's just how it is when every band member contributes songs and ideas equally. Whether you call it hard rock, retro rock, classic rock, vintage rock, doom rock, or just plain old rock music, it doesn't matter: It sounds familiar and new at the same time, honoring the past without being stuck in it. And above all, it's one thing: an album brimming with joy.
