Topic: Cave In Posted: September 13 2005 at 11:58 |
I have a track by a band called Cave In on a progressive rock compilation. Judging by the one track, they sound pretty good, although I am not certain that they are progressive. Does anyone know anything about them? Are they progressive? Have they made any albums?

Slight nods to prog from time to time and quite inventive. Not something I'd want to listen to often but they're not bad by any means. From what I gather their first couple of records aren't anything very interesting at all though. They've done four or five, I think.

Thanks goose, do you know what the albums are called or when they were released?

I think Oceansize is the name of the newest or second newest. Beyond that I don't really know I'm afraid.

I have a few Cave In albums they started off as a alternative hardcore rock band but finding themselves musically restricted they have progressed to very slightly to more melodic space rock sound in some tracks in their last two albums 'Jupiter' and 'Antenna'. They do have a distinctive sound but i find they can be a little repetitive and tedious at times. Saying that they are not really progressive bar a few tracks, they are a kind of combination of alt rock/ thrash metal/ Art Rock and maybe 5% prog! i particularly like their tune 'Seafrost which is kinda spaced out and has some beautiful haunting vocals.
Id recommend their most recent album Antenna, its one i do still listen to every now and again, they have released a recent album this year but ive no idea what thats like.
Goosey aren't you getting Oceansize muddled up with the excellent band Oceansize?

Did they do a tour with Oceansize or something? For some reason I've been associating the names together

Thats possible, they have similaries. Oceansize are far more proggy though.

For some reason, Cave In seem to be a bit underrated. I feel that the
album "Jupiter" has been one of the more unique and well-crafted post
2000 releases. It exhibits a spacey feel, making the title apt, and
also yields hints of prog. on songs like " Big Riff", "Requiem", and
"New Moon." Their other releases following jupiter have been more
straight-forward, but enjoyable albeit. Stephen Brodsky's unique voice
and the heavy drums used are two of the feautures that really
distinguish Cave In.

I recently bought their album "Antenna". It's a pretty good
album, but I'd say it's more rock with the occasional progressive touch.

Ive just got their new album Perfect Pitch Black today on first listen they seemed to have gone back to being a lot heavier, its a lot more agressive than Jupiter and Antenna, although the second half of the album lightens up a bit and is more melodic.
Not sure about it, hmm this album could be a grower..

I saw them opening for the Foo Fighters 4 years ago. They were pretty good. I've grown out of the Foo Fighters, and I wasn't even into prog back then, but from what I heard at that show I wouldn't consider them prog.

Jupiter seems to be the album. I thought it was prog when it came out long before I came across the constraints set forth on this site. Heavy, but quite intricate and moody.

I saw Cave In last night and they have been one of my favorite bands for a few years now. They've gone from metalcore to an art rock back to something in between with Pefect Pitch Black. It's really good stuff and I must say that they have quite a few songs that are progressive enough to dub them somewhere in the prog rock category. Modern day prog they could be called somewhat. Either way, a real treat to see them do all the spacey stuff live. Always a great show!
