Background information about 'Hallucinating Anxiety'

Some records don't just get reissued, they get exhumed, and "Hallucinating Anxiety" by Cadaver is a prime candidate for the shovel. Norway's death metal pioneers cut this debut in the winter of 1989 and early 1990, and you can practically smell the cold studio air in every riff. It's raw, it's restless, and it refuses to sit still for even three minutes. The band slams through nineteen tracks worth of material here, split into the 1989 and 1990 sessions, and the whole thing plays like a fever dream stitched together from blastbeats, tortured guitar lines and Ole Bjerkebakke's unhinged vocal attack.

What makes this edition genuinely exciting is the care behind it. Anders Odden went back into Tomb Studio in May 2025 for additional recording, and Patrick W. Engel handled the mastering at Temple of Disharmony, so the filth is still there but the detail finally breathes. Tracks like "Corrosive Delirium" and "Ignominious Eczema" hit with a clarity that never softens the blow, while the title track remains a masterclass in controlled chaos. There's also a real emotional weight hanging over the record, as it's dedicated to the late René Jansen, whose bass playing is all over these sessions. That mix of nostalgia, grief and pure adrenaline gives the whole thing a pulse you can't fake.
