Cave In

The Profile

Cave In are an American rock band from Massachusetts formed in 1995. They emerged from metalcore roots (Beyond Hypothermia, Until Your Heart Stops), pivoted toward spacey alternative rock on Jupiter, flirted with the major-label world on Antenna, and returned to heavier forms with Perfect Pitch Black and White Silence. Final Transmission (2019) honors late bassist Caleb Scofield, and Heavy Pendulum (2022) marked a renewed chapter.

Origin: Massachusetts, USA. Core members include Stephen Brodsky (vocals/guitar), Adam McGrath (guitar/vocals), John-Robert Conners (drums), and the late Caleb Scofield (bass/vocals; died in 2018). Associated labels: Hydra Head Records, RCA.

DeBaser’s Cave In coverage spans their spacey Jupiter era, the divisive Antenna detour, the heavier returns, and the elegiac Final Transmission. Reviews praise ambition, riffs, and live ferocity, with occasional backlash over polish. Caleb Scofield’s memory threads through the later work. Overall: a storied, shape-shifting band earning strong acclaim.
