September 2007 - Route To Hell Festival, Napoli Named after the wild, deformed slave in Shakespeare's The Tempest, Caliban are five German musicians who despitetheir young age are already seen as veterans of the European metal-core scene. The strange mix of diabolical ruse and mighty impetuosity not only makes Caliban one of the most importantcharacters in Shakespeare's dramas but also the patron saint to the musical orientation of this quintet fromGermany's Ruhr region. Within just a few years they have become one of the most important and influential bands ofthat genre. Formed in 1997 (under the name Never Again) Caliban signed to Lifeforce Records after recording a two song demo.The release of their self-titled EP in the summer of '98 was the start of a co-operation which was to lay thefoundation of Caliban's incredible success. Countless tours across Europe including support gigs for bands likeEarth Crisis and Cro-Mags strengthened their reputation and got them an ever increasing army of Caliban apostles.Their full-length debut album "A Small Boy And A Grey Heaven" (1999) finally opened the door and became a Europeanmetal-core groundbreaker. Even then Caliban knew how to combine Slayer-esque, precise metal guitars with emotionalhardcore shouting, leaving their own, distinct mark on that sound. Initially seen as mix of Slayer, Poison the Welland Hatebreed by the critics, Caliban didn't jump on the metal-core bandwagon recently but rather led the wayrepresenting that genre at home and internationally. The following split EP with their friends, Heaven Shall Burn was to become a metal-core classic and when the band'ssecond album "Vent" hit stores in April 2001, its release via Imperium/Howling-Bull Records in Japan led to Calibanbeing invited to play at the famous Beast Feast 2001 in Yokohama together with Slayer, Pantera, Machine Head,Biohazard and Morbid Angel. Back from Japan, Caliban embarked on their first US tour with Bloodjinn followed by arun with A Life Once Lost, Dead To Fall and The Red Chord in the summer of 2002 and an appearance at New York'sinfamous Hellfest. In August 2002 Caliban entered the Woodhouse studio in Germany to record their third long player, "Shadow Hearts".As third albums tend to decide the make or break of an act, expectations for this record were very high. Calibandid, however, manage to transform pressure to a new metal-core milestone introducing a new style of post-modern,destructive metal-core with an unparalleled sense of heaviness and musicianship. This release saw a mature bandmoving further in the direction of harmony and melody without ever denying their metal and hardcore roots. Thefollowing tour in Japan with Killswitch Engage and Shadows Fall strengthened their focus and it was theirfriendship with people like Mike D (Killswitch Engage bass player who is now also designing T-shirts for Calibanand designed the current cover artwork for The Undying Darkness) which helped to finally establish them in the USmetal-core scene. At the start of 2004 it was time to record a new album and In Flames front man Anders Friden agreed to produce. TheOpposite From Within was recorded in Anders' studio, The Room in Gothenburg, Sweden in January 2004. With thecreative support of this experienced mastermind it was soon clear that they should move to a bigger record labeland eventually they signed a deal with Roadrunner Records. It's incredible how forcefully the last album, The Opposite From Within carved its way through the European musicjungle. However, Caliban's new power machine The Undying Darkness is even more mature, powerful and inescapable.They've ventured to the next step, consistently developing and perfecting what they'd begun: singer Andy Dörner(shouts- and growl-parts) and guitarist Denis Schmidt (who handles the melodic sections) make full use of theirvocal ranges and literally outdo each other on The Undying Darkness. Main songwriter Marc Görtz is at his mostcreative ever: brutal guitar stakkato-salvos, complex alternate bombastic and clear walls of guitar, beautifulharmonies that consistently flair up and incredible rhythm that makes you eager to see how this will be translatedlive on stage by Patrick Grün. This is just part of a sound cocktail that will knock the socks off every metal-corefan. Highlights like the first single, It´s Our Burden To Bleed thrill with its hardcore drive, whilst dramatic andemotional tracks like Nothing Is Forever and I Refuse To Keep On Living will move even the most frosty soul. The Undying Darkness was again produced by In Flames frontman, Anders Friden and recorded at the Prinzipal Studiosin Senden, Germany in September & October 2005. It was mixed and mastered at Backstage Studios in the UK by metalgod, Andy Sneap (Machine Head, Arch Enemy, Killswitch Engage). And yet that's not all. Caliban have also invitedsome guests to perform on some songs: Mille Petrozza of Kreator enthusiastically revives the old school in MomentOf Clarity and the fantastic version of Bjork's Army Of Me features the amazing voice of German vocalist, TanjaKeilen (Sister Love). What's left to say? Over to Andy Dörner for the final words: In our world fire burns brightly Take care or you get hurt Flames kiss you goodnight. It´s Our Burden To Bleed - Caliban, It´s Our Burden To Bleed We have some banners for you. You can copy and paste the bannercodes on you website, myspace site or whereever you want. |
