Cave In Announce East Coast Dates w/ Trap Them and Narrows!




In 2006 Cave In took a break from the music world after releasing Perfect Pitch Black. But it looks as though a three and a half year hiatus was enough to rekindle the desire to make music. - The Tripwire

The Boston bad-asses return to form on Planets of Old and come through with a reminder about why they were the talk of the underground for most of their existence. The band drops some of the highbrow ends and prog-rock overtones that fattened up its previous albums and gets back to the metal nitty-gritty. There's more than just powerhouse beat-downs, though (Cave-In is Cave-In after all), and the four cuts on this EP are some of the best of the heavy you'll hear this summer. - Aversion.com

The four-track EP continues along the path of the band's omni-directional last album Perfect Pitch Black (reviewed here). It swirls together bottom-feeding metal jams, jetpack rock 'n roll and raging hardcore. Each track is a short visit to a planet they've already inhabited. - Cerebral Metalhead

Just weeks after announcing they'd be performing two free Scion Metal Shows in LA and Atlanta with the mighty Coalesce, Boston's one and only CAVE IN have announced they'll be setting off on a quick trip down the East Coast this November, taking along friends and brutal rockers Trap Them and Narrows for a series of dates with stops in New York, Philadelphia, Providence and Boston, all in support of the band's latest 12" release, "Planets of Old," out now on Hydra Head. Full tourdates below!

“Everyone in this room is very privileged,” announced Allston, Massachusetts-based sludge-metal act Phantom Glue's bassist Nick Wolf a mere hour and a half before mighty hardcore mavens-turned-prog metallers Cave In played their first show in four years. Wolf was hardly the only one feeling that way. When Cave In first announced that they'd be reuniting for a small club show at Allston, Massachusett's Great Scott, a tiny-ass, PBR-fueled venue a mere block from this writer's apartment, I knew it wasn't just a “privilege,” it was fucking fate. - Revolver
