A pioneering and unique force of rock, metal and hardcore across multiple spectrums, CAVE IN will tour Australia and New Zealand for the very first time in their near 30-year history this June.
In addition to already announced dates supporting German post-metal titans The Ocean, the Massachusetts four-piece now announces a limited run of additional headline performances in Melbourne, Auckland, Wellington, and at the nascent Strange Festival in Perth. Though touring in support of their 2022 Relapse Records debut Heavy Pendulum, a critically acclaimed album described as everything from sludge metal to post-grunge, fans can expect a career-spanning set as CAVE IN finally touches down under.
Formed in 1995 in Massachusetts by singer/guitarist Stephen Brodsky, CAVE IN was ahead of its time from the very beginning, helping to define the then-primitive metalcore genre with a more creatively elevated slant on their 1998 debut album Until Your Heart Stops.
Not content to remain pigeonholed, the band veered into more accessible psychedelic ‘space rock’ sounds on subsequent releases before a brief hiatus in the mid 2000s. After the tragic death of bassist/vocalist Caleb Schofield in 2018, Converge bassist Nate Newton picked up his friend’s instrument and the band was able to continue on its legacy, resulting most recently in their seventh album, 2022’s Heavy Pendulum; a culmination of all the sounds the band had explored throughout their tenure and then some, with universal critical praise labeling it everything from sludge metal to post-grunge and even thrash.
Don’t miss the long-awaited debut Australian tour for CAVE IN this June – this will certainly one for the ages!
