Emerging from the fertile maelstrom of the late ‘80s metal underground, CADAVER were among the first Norwegian extreme metal bands to gain any recognition away from their homeland. With a sound that mixed the raging brutality of POSSESSED and DEATH to a distinctly Norwegian sense of discord and disquiet, Odden and his teenage band mates secured a deal with Earache Records sub-label Necrosis and released their debut album Hallucinating Anxiety in 1990 (initially as a split with Swedish kindred spirits CARNAGE). A more progressive and adventurous but no less vicious follow-up, ...In Pains, arrived in 1992: but for all their momentum and unique, malevolent charm, the first CADAVER line-up was ultimately doomed to disintegrate barely a year later. Nonetheless, their status as cult heroes was beyond dispute.
