Cave In - Final Transmission ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @sonicdeathwall @adamcmcgrath @stephenbrodsky @dig_lazarus_dig #calebscofieldforever @hydraheadrecords ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The relatively recent re-emergence of Cave In has been nothing if not bittersweet for me and their legion of fans. In March of 2018, long-time bassist and songwriter Caleb Scofield was killed in a tragic accident, just as they were beginning to put together thoughts and ideas for their first LP since White Silence. The band spent the next year picking up the pieces and folding this event into their collective being. Stephen took over some of Caleb’s role in Old Man Gloom, Nate Newton (who coincidentally replaced Stephen in Converge years ago), took Caleb’s parts in Cave In, and they’ve played a handful of shows since getting their feet back on steady ground. I covered Adam and Stephen’s stripped down and deeply emotional set at the Roadburn festival recently, and if you haven’t yet listened, you need to do so. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Final Transmission is comprised of the remaining demos and partially built out tracks that were the bones for the next album, all of which feature Caleb, including a very touching and sad intro track he sent as a voice message to the band as the opener of the LP. As a huge fan of both the band and their catalog, it’s incredible to finally hear new Cave In music, but it really makes me feel some peripheral grief to know that this came from their last efforts together with Caleb. I mentioned in my last Cave In post that I want to do whatever I can to help Caleb’s wife and daughters so I want to point out that 50% of proceeds from this album go to help support them as they move forward. Please give this incredible album a listen and buy a copy! https://hydrahead.merchtable.com/music/vinyl/cave-in-final-transmission-vinyl-lp-cd/? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #cavein #spacerock #vinylexams #records #vinylrecords #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylcommunity #vinyloftheday #vinylcollectionpost #recordcollection #metalvinyl #recordaday #experimentalmetal#metalmilitia #vinyljunkie #vinyllife #vinyligclub #vinylgram #vinyladdict #vinylobsessed #hydrahead #calebscofield (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByfxkCbpNNN/?igshid=gt4s8ofuxlex
