Caliban
« on: March 29, 2007, 01:59:13 pm »
"Caliban, a metalcore-band, was formed in Hattingen, Germany in 1997 under the name Never Again. After 6 months of playing together, the band recorded their first two songs for a demo, which was never released. The songs were sent to several record labels, and Lifeforce Records was the first to offer the band a record deal. The band's first self-titled EP came out in the summer of 1998. To promote it, Caliban played many shows all over Europe and a few support shows for bands like Morning Again, Earth Crisis, and Cro-Mags.


After their European tour, in 1999 Caliban entered the studio to record their first full-length, entitled A Small Boy And A Grey Heaven. The CD received favorable reviews in many big zines and many smaller hardcore and metal zines. The band was described as a mixture of Slayer, Poison the Well, and Hatebreed. They also released the first part of a split-CD with Heaven Shall Burn, named The Split Program.

Vent came out in April 2001. Vent was released by Imperium Records and by Howling-Bull Records in Japan. Shortly after the release, Caliban was offered the opportunity to tour Japan to play the Beast-Feast 2001 in the Yokohama Arena, sharing stage with bands including Slayer, Pantera, Machine Head, Biohazard, and Morbid Angel. The Japan trip was followed by a U.S. tour with Bloodjinn, which was interrupted by the September 11, 2001 attacks.

In August 2002 Caliban Recorded their third official release Shadow Hearts. This record was more melodic and harmonic than its predecessors. In 2004 the band got a record deal with Roadrunner Records and started to record their fourth Album The Opposite From Within alongside producer Anders Fridén, who is known for fronting In Flames.

In July 2005 the Band released the second part of their split-CD with with their friends from Heaven Shall Burn, called The Split Program II. The band released fifth album called The Undying Darkness on February 24, 2006 and went tour with Neaera, Purified in Blood, and The Agony Scene for the "Darkness over Europe" tour.

Caliban recorded their 2007 album The Awakening with producer Benny Richter, and it's due in Germany on May 25." Ce parere aveti despre ei..va plac nu va plac? astept pareri :)

Mi se par cam la acelasi nivel cu Heaven Shall Burn, o trupa care nu aduc nimic nou in swedecore dar care totusi suna bine.

Over rated ar fi sintagma care-i caracterizeaza cel mai bine.

Da ... clisee peste clisee ... toate piesele lor sunt facute pe acelasi sablon care de altfel de folosit si de Heaven Shall Burn si de mii de alte trupe mai bune sau mai putin bune din lume.

Deap in categoria asta as incadra si as i lay dying....piese liniare asemanatoare ca linie si sturctura nimic foarte nou dar suna bine.Caliban este una din trupele mele preferate iar the beloved and the hatered este melodia mea preferata.E o trupa buna fara sa exceleze prea mult  ;D Oricum ca si idee putinele trupe de metalcore care le avem noi cel putin 2 din ele merg cam pe acelasi sablon foarte liniar si asemanator astfel incat daca asculti un album fara pauza intre piese f greu poti deosebii o piesa de alta  ::) .PACE!

Nu sunt de acord, As I Lay Dying sunt la un alt nivel fata de Caliban ... diferenta se vede clar la AILD si intre albume dar si in interiorul aceluiasi album ... nu poti spune vreodata ca Forever suna la fel cu 94 Hours sau cu The Darkest Nights ... chestii total diferite, spre deosebire de Caliban, trupa la care toate piesele suna la fel.

nu vorbi asa, vrei sa imi spui ca beloved and hatred seamana cu my little secret? sau goodbye cu forsaken horizon? ;). Oricum aceste trupe au mel care seamana intre ele.

E deja cunoscut faptul ca foarte multi dintre fanii trupei Caliban sunt neo-nazisti si aparent si prietenii lor de la Heaven Shall Burn se confrunta cu aceeasi problema. Desi din cate stiu Caliban nu si-au exprimat niciodata deschis preferintele politice sau ideologice, ei devin din ce in ce mai mult asociati neo-nazismului si fascismului, probabil datorita numarului masiv de fani de acest fel pe care-l au.

Heaven Shall Burn au lansat o declaratie oficiala privind invazia de neo-nazisti in randurile fanilor HSB.

Quote
since it never stops:
one more time, almost the same text.

"unfortunately we got some right-winged "friends" here on myspace.
we always try to check a profile before we accept a friends request, but we cannot check the whole friendslist.
so if you see HSB somewhere in the top 8 of some nazi/ racist/ fascist/ dumbass, it's not because we're friends with them!!!
heaven shall burn as a band and as individuals are 100% against fascism, racism, anti-semitism, homophobia and any form of discrimination.
if you're following some of that bullshit, please do us and yourself a favour and delete heaven shall burn from your list! we don't need and, most important, we don't want you to support us in any way!
there might be many bands who don't care about who is supporting them, but we do!"

hsb, april 2007


Ultima afirmatie banuiesc ca face o referire subtila la Caliban, printre alte trupe de gen.

HSB si Caliban sunt ambele trupe germane ... si se stie ca Germania e o tara cu foarte multi neo-nazisti nostalgici dupa perioada in care isi doreau sa cucereasca lumea si sa extermine juma' din rasa umana.

Nu sunt genul care sa judece o carte dupa coperti insa aruncati o privire la membrii trupei Caliban si spuneti-mi sincer daca nu se pliaza cat de cat ca si "fashion" pe tiparul neo-nazistului german. :D

Mi se pare ca faza asta tine de muzica ... din moment ce publicul e de asa natura, inseamna ca acei pusti gasesc ceva mesaje cu care se pot identifica in muzica celor de la Caliban ...

Mie nu mi-au placut niciodata in mod deosebit deci n-am stat sa analizez prea mult versurile lor.

Lasa-ma cu petarda aia de club.Singurul lucru bun acolo a fost ca am ajuns sa stau de vorba cu ei dar in rest a fost aiurea rau.In fata scenei era o treapta total ampaulea si la circle pituri ca sa numai vorbesc de wall of death risceai sa-ti spargi dintii daca nu erai atent.
Un concert cu ei ar fi da un vis.Din pacte ei sunt in turneu acum si clar nu se poate rezolva nimic,cel putin nu acum.Vin in februarie in Budapesta dar din pacate am alta prioritati acum decat sa merg la Caliban dar un concert cu ei aici ar fi magnific.
