N E W S

After a period of creative seclusion, KadavriK return with their new album Erde 666. Following the raw Black Metal explorations of GRIMM I & II, the band now expands its sound with heavier Doom textures and Post-Rock influences, adding new layers to their unmistakable KadavriK mix. Two videos introducing Erde 666 are scheduled for autumn 2026, with the full album release set for winter.

KADAVRIK ARE (FROM LEFT TO RIGHT): FRANK SCHLEGEL, OLIVER RÜTH, NIKLAS PIETSCH, HANNES WÜPPING & CHRISTOPH BOSMANN.
