Heavyweights CALIBAN aren’t interested in genres or being pigeonholed at this point. They’ve moved on. But as an integral part of the early modern metal scene in Europe—full-lengths Vent (2001), Shadow Hearts (2003), and The Opposite from Within (2004) cemented the Germans as must-hear, must-see talent—the tag was vouchsafed by fan and press alike upon CALIBAN’s crushing, breakdown-driven music. Now, more than a decade later, the attributes of modern metal persist within the Essen-based quintet’s music, but CALIBAN’s signature sound is informed by a more diverse set of influences.

We’re happy to announce a new member. “We are excited to announce that Iain Duncan has joined CALIBAN as our new bassist and clean vocalist. Iain's incredible talent and fresh energy mark a thrilling new chapter for the band”, says the band. “With Iain on board, we are diving into new material set for release over the next months. We are particularly excited to share our single, ‘I Was a Happy Kid Once’. This track embodies the new direction we're taking and showcases the dynamic contributions Iain brings to our sound. Thank you for your continued support. Stay tuned for more updates and get ready for an incredible year ahead!”
