Cave In

Cave In - Beyond Hypothermia - 1998
Cave In - Until Your Heart Stops - 1999
01. Cave In - Beyond Hypothermia, 1998 CD Album Compilation
     Hydra Head Records - NO. 25
02. Cave In - Until Your Heart Stops, 1999 CD Album
     Hydra Head Records - HH666-031
A more relevant title for this post would have been "some Cave-In". I really tried to like what they did after Until Your Heart Stops, but could not. The post-rock-whatever-pop from Jupiter turned me off completely and I never listened to the following albums. Am I wrong? Now these early releases are quite the killer stuff if you like modern hardcore, aka Slayer riffs swimming in a sea of NYHC-inspired compositions minus the tough guy thing, plus some dubious clean singing. One might feel here a Converge vibe and some Dillinger Escape Plan ingredients without the über complexity - this is "metalcore" as we used to say 3 decades ago, although this term has now become a degrading tag for impossible bands. Until Your Heart Stops is the ripper!

  1. Right on. Did not expect to see this here. Check out Coalesce - Give Them Rope.

    1. Yeah I used to like Coalesce too. But the vocals were not my thing.
