1) Cadaver is a death metal band from Råde, Norway. Anders Odden and Ole Bjerkebakke founded Cadaver in 1988. They were later joined by bassist René Jansen and in 1989 the trio released the "Abnormal Deformity" demo. The demo attracted the attention of Carcass members, Bill Steer and Jeff Walker, who signed the band to their Earache imprint label, Necrosis. The subsequent album, Hallucinating Anxiety was released in 1990 as a split with the Carnage album Dark Recollections. Shortly after the album's release, René Jansen was replaced by Eilert Solstad.

In 1999 the band was resurrected by Odden, who went by the name Neddo. He gather three new musicians, and started to use the band name Cadaver Inc. The foursome, now including Czral, Balvaz and Apollyon recorded the album Discipline which was released in February 2001. A tour followed in support of Morbid Angel and Extreme Noise Terror. Accompanying the album was a website that sold alibis for murders. This website attracted too much attention and hence the original name was restored. Their final album was then released in 2003 titled Necrosis. The band decided to split up in 2004. Shortly thereafter, Anders rejoined synth-rock outfit Apoptygma Berzerk for the recording of You and Me Against the World, which had many top-10 singles in Europe, and subsequent touring.

Heartworm
Cadaver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like fungus from the soul
The prowling worm seeks
Its grace and its grief
Heart is sworn
And the worm, it licks
Tongue like thorns
Heartworm
Heartworm
The fever aches
Grows with the tainted self
The sweat flows
And paints the inner hell
Heart is sworn
And the worm, it licks
Tongue like thorns
Heart is sworn
And the worm, it licks
Tongue like thorns
The spit burns holes
The fever aches
Grows with the tainted self
The sweat flows
And paints the inner hell
Heart is sworn
And the worm, it licks
Tongue like thorns
Heart is sworn
And the worm, it licks
Tongue like thorns
The song Heartworm by CADAVER is a haunting and eerie track that explores the metaphorical concept of a heartworm eating away at the soul. The lyrics describe the crawling, reeking heart that is infected with a prowling worm that seeks both grace and grief. The tongue of the worm is like thorns, which causes the spit to burn holes. The overall theme of the song is a person's inner battle with their inner demons, the tainted self that causes a fever to ache and create an inner hell. This song is speaking on the struggle of the heart, which is sworn to fight against the worm who licks at the darkness that plagues it.
The use of vivid imagery and metaphorical language creates an eerie and unsettling tone throughout the song. The lyrics depict a struggle within oneself to conquer their inner demons as they continue to eat away at their soul like a parasite. The words "heartworm" are repeated throughout the song, serving as a reminder of the insidious nature of this battle. The use of repetition increases the intensity of the song as the lyrics build up to the finale. The song's overall message is a reminder of the turmoil that comes with breaking free from self-inflicted or external agony.
