Cave In Band • Page 2

Jamming some Perfect Pitch Black right now. "Off to Ruin" through "Down the Drain" is such a fantastic run of songs.

 

Stream Nomad Stones’ Pre-/Post-Grunge Debut LP in Full

 

love cave in

 

Still need to check out Antenna and Perfect Pitch Black.

 

Yeah you do

 

Plus all their side projects which sounds super daunting. I'll probably start with Kid Killowat considering how I'm still just getting into Cave In and Converge.

 

That's a good bet. After that I'd probably go first two Stephen Brodsky solo records --> Mutoid Man --> Old Man Gloom --> Octave Museum --> Zozobra, and then anything else

 

Yeah Mutoid Man and Zozobra are the main two essential ones for me. Old Man Gloom too though it seems more like an Isis offshoot than a Cave In one tbh

 

Wait there are members of Isis in OMG? I may have to check that out then.

 

Aaron Turner is!

Also if you wanna get reeeeeal technical Doomriders could be included too, and they're awesome

 

Isis' vocalist is one of the three vocalists in OMG. Pretty sure the drummer is his bff who isn't in other bands too

 

Old Man Gloom drummer Santos was also in Zozobra, Forensics, New Idea Society briefly

Jeeeez, good looks on that. I haven't even heard all of those haha. Never listened to Placer or Strike 3

 

So which EP's are essential? I'm assuming Tides of Tomorrow?

 

Tides is fantastic, absolutely

Creative Eclipses is a bridge between their metalcore and space rock releases. "Luminance" is one of their best songs and the Failure cover is sick.

Planets of Old is essential, covers all of their styles well.

The Bootleg EP is worth tracking down as well. "Acid Rain in the Black Forest" is a cool bossa nova style track

So yeah hope that helps. PM me if you're looking for harder to find stuff

 

Curious to see what some of your "best of" Cave In playlists would look like.

 

Since I'm still only familiar with Jupiter and UYHS I wouldn't do it justice.

Big Riff, and The End of Our Rope would forsure be on there. Honestly all of Jupiter.

 

Damn, spot on, holy shit

 

This rules. Thank you.

 

Just getting into Cave In. I went with Perfect Pitch Black to start with just after scrolling through this thread. It fucking rules so far.

 

Alrighty what album do I go to after Perfect Pitch Black?

 

Jupiter
Planets of Old
Until Your Heart Stops
Antenna
White Silence
Tides of Tomorrow

In that order

 

Probably one of my favorite newly discovered bands. I listen to Jupiter, and Until Your Heart a lot. Need to give the other full lengths a shot.

 

I still think Perfect Pitch Black is, ahem, perfect.

 

I am under the impression they will have a new album/ep out next year.
