UPDATE! OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM CAVE IN REGARDING “REUNION”
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009 at 2:45pm by Vince Neilstein
With regards to this morning’s post about a potential Cave In reunion, it seems there was some confusion on the Interwebs. Thankfully we just received this press release directly from Cave In’s camp, delivered by carrier pigeon and left at the gates of the MS Mansion:
After 3 1/2 long years, Cave In has decided to end its hiatus. Please join us for an EP release show at Great Scott’s (1222 Commonwealth Ave., Allston MA) on Sunday, July 19th @ 9PM. Also playing will be our friends Disappearer and Phantom Glue. Copies of the “Planets Of Old” limited 12″ (recorded by Adam Taylor, Alex Hartman & Johnny Northrup @ Camp St. Studio) from Hydra Head Records will be available that night.
We hope to see your lovely selves.
Steve, Adam, J.R., Caleb
CAVE IN
So, that’s that. Of note is the phrase “decided to end its hiatus,” indicating that the band never fully intended to “break up” so much as take a break. Which, in hindsight, is true: at the time, the band was deliberate in saying that they planned to go on hiatus. [System of a Down fans, take note: that band also said they were going "on hiatus," not breaking up. Don't get your panties in a tizzy over the eventual "reunion."]
Semantics aside, the result is the same: new Cave In in July. Now it’s official. Hoo-ray.
After the jump, live footage of the band performing “Anchor” on… MTV’s (!) Last Call with Carson Daly. Woah!

Shit Band needs to die.
you first
You like this stuff? It’s terrible. Not even radio-rock worthy. YUCK.
was this album great? no. it was alright. but the members of cave in have proven themselves over and over again with cave in and some (not all) of their other projects to warrent a shot at a new direction. if they just sounded like this i would call them mediocre, but they dont. so you first.
Except they do sound like this all the time… So no, they still need to die.
Go have a listen to “beyond hypothermia” or “until your heart stops” and you might reconsider
your assessment.
why is this band being featured on this website? i personally think its ok but you guys shit on disturbed over this
that was actually on NBC, not MTV
They sound like this all the time? They change from album to album… you obviously do not have properly working ears or you’re just being a douche and have not listened to any of their other music.
thank you sir
They sound TERRIBLE all the time. No matter how they change their style, they still sound TERRIBLE. I know this because I researched and listened to them before I commented.
Also, cocks.
you researched at bands 14 year history that quickly huh?
After listening to about 7 of their songs from 4 of their studio albums I believe I adequately researched their sound and came to the conclusion that I hate them. It’s like Skunk Anansie, they shouldn’t be on this site.
Also, soup.
You guys should give Beastmaster a break. Didn’t you watch that show? He has like the ears of an eagle or some shit. Do you know what an early Cave In track would do to someone with those kinds of heightened senses?
Cave In: good for humans, bad for beastmasters. let’s just leave it at that
Great news !
Antenna & Jupiter are masterpieces !
Yes!! I’m so glad these guys decided to make music together again. Hopefully it’ll lead to more touring and/or recording soon. Hopefully I can get my hands on that vinyl release.
These guys rule! I love Jupiter and their older metal stuff the best, but they are a great band over all and should come back. Mainstream rock music sucks right now and needs good bands.
Until Your Heart Stops is their only good album so unless they decided to go back to that style, they should have stayed on hiatus.
Really why does everyone on this site have to be macho meat-heads that can’t appreciate anything not metal?
Because it’s a METAL site… I’m sure most Metalheads love things that aren’t Metal, but that’s the point of this site isn’t it? Maybe I’m wrong…
I just listened to their cover of Dazed and Confused and am now even more convinced Zeppelin covers should not be allowed
I still bump Beyond Hypothermia on the ol’ iPod all the time. MVHC 4 LYFE
I like how Ben is shown in the image, yet his name isn’t signed at the bottom of the letter. Hm…is he on indefinite hiatus with them? Or could it be an actual reunion with the originators? Or does he just not have a say? Ha.
