Cave In formed in the small town of [Methuen] in 1995. Their mission was simple to create their own extremely loud, [angry], [violent], [hardcore metal]. Years later the band has now completely changed their sound.

Started in 1995 the band was formed when all the members were only 15. They went on to release 2 [EP]s which are now available through their [compilation] [Beyond Hypothermia]. During this period of time the band went through 2 angry lead [vocalist]s to end with one of their [guitarist]s, [Stephen Brodsky], stepping up to sing for their first full length album, [Until Your Heart Stops].

From these their early [EP]s and their first album Cave In cut an amazing image as an extremely hard hitting [hardcore] [metal] band with songs such as [Juggernaut] and [Crossbearer]. However, this sound would not be a permanent one. After the release of [Until Your Heart Stops], Cave In persisted with touring as most [hardcore] bands do. Night after night Brodsky would be in [pain] after the set from the incessant [screaming]. It was around this time that the band decided to make a change. In early spring of 1999 the band would release the EP [Creative Eclipses]. This EP was a sweeping change for the band, no longer was their [screaming] [vocals] and [metal] style [guitar]. Instead of [hardcore], fans found themselves listening to experimental [indie rock]. Most fans, however, wrote this off as an [experimental album] and awaited the release of the bands next full album.

In June 2000 fans finally got the full [album] they were waiting for, sort of. Once again many of the [hardcore] [fan]s that had listened to Cave In would be disappointed to find a full length album of material very similar to that on [Creative Eclipses]. It was now official in the minds of all the fans, Cave In had permanently changed their [style]. While many of the band’s earlier albums had contained long [instrumentals] and [spacey] [effects] this was the first time that many fans saw the extent of the talent the band had for such things. Jupiter seemed to be more heavily influenced by [Pink Floyd] than metal and hardcore bands.

Through Cave In’s short history they’ve gone through multiple singers and a style change. However, Cave In still remains to be an extremely talented group of [musician]s that can pull of a change and actually go onto even more notoriety than their previous [hardcore] roots had gained them.
