As the leading Hardrock- and Metal magazine in Germany, Metal Hammer started its own award ceremony ten years ago. After the initiation at Wacken Open Air 2009, the event found a permanent location in 2011 at Berlin Kesselhaus. For the ten years anniversary event, the evening featured all shades of black and a most illustrious guestlist.

Proper party people: Night Demon

On Friday, September 14th stars of the international Rock- and Metalscene gathered to witness new talents being awarded with the prestigious price after walking down the black carpet next to the likes of David Draiman (Disturbed), Attila Dorn (Powerwolf) and Phil Campbell (Motörhead). And of course an event like this would only be half the fun without some live shows. After opening acts Thunder And Lightning, as the local support and King Creature from Cornwall, co-headlining acts Night Demon (last years winner of the Up & Coming award) and Dirkschneider playing a final set with Accept classics, the night was on fire.

Metal Hammer staff cleans up nicely: Gernot Krebs & Thorsten Zahn

All recipients personally took home their awards, only Judas Priest, who received the Maximum Metal Award, were forced to send a laudatory speech via video. The legendary band is currently touring the US. Upon its 50th anniversary, the band thanked their fans. And even without winning any price, Berlin-based trio Kadavar joined the party as well – next year a new category could be created, honouring “Best Facial Hair”. The German trio would clearly be a runner-up for this one, coming in second after everyone’s favourite bearded bros, ZZ Top.

Every fan’s crazy ’bout a sharp dressed band: Kadavar

Berlin based Psychedelic Hard Rock trio KADAVAR confirmed to rock Freak Valley Festival 2014!!

Their sudden rise to underground fame stems from a combination of infectious riff-driven 70’s hard rock and doom-like undertones reminiscent of bands like Black Sabbath and Pentagram, with a spacey psychedelic edge likened to that of early Hawkwind and Can. Having released their 2nd album “Abra Kadavar”, Kadavar have been blowing minds, selling out shows, and cleaning up rave reviews everywhere they go. Now finally KADAVAR on stage @ Freak Valley Festival !!

KADAVAR – Announce line-up changes

Aqua Nebula Oscillator, Aquamaria Festival, Brückenfestival, Bukta Festival, Burg Herzberg Festival, Christoph Bartelt, Christoph Lindemann, Devilstone Fest, Dour Festival, Dragon, Kadavar, Krach am Bach, Labertal Festival, Mammut, Matias Corral, Metal Hammer Paradise, Reload Festival, Sauzipf Rocks Festival, Simon Bouteloup, Stadtfest Lennestadt, The Oath, Tiger, Wolf

Berlin-based classic/psychedelic rockers KADAVAR have just announced the split with bass player Mammut. The band comments: “After almost three years of band history, Mammut left the band due to musical and personal reasons. We believe that this decision was for the good of us all and wish him only the best for his future.”

Already during the past weeks, Mammut hasn’t been part of KADAVAR’s extensive touring activities anymore, but has been replaced by a stand-in musician who also happens to be an old friend of the band and is now officially introduced as their new bassist – Simon Bouteloup: “For us, Simon Bouteloup was the only replacement imaginable all along. We’ve toured with his ex-band AQUA NEBULA OSCILLATOR in the past and recorded a split record with them. Afterwards, he accompanied our tours on a regular basis. In autumn of 2012 he moved from Paris to Berlin and joined THE OATH. We’re happy to have him on board as a permanent member now!”

And what about Simon’s future animal nick name? “After Mammut had been a reliable companion to Tiger and Wolf, Simon `the dragon´ will support us with his wings and fire from now on!”
