Cave In – White Silence

Cave In

White Silence

Hydra Head Records

With the ripping return of 2009’s Planets of Old EP, a reinvigorated Cave In revived their early post-hardcore years to prove elapsed time hadn’t distinguished that fire. For post-hiatus full-length White Silence they’ve expanded that template by integrating their members’ solo projects undertaken in the interim.

“Serpents” roars and punches like Zozobra and eight minute centerpiece “Sing My Loves” chugs and growls ala Old Man Gloom before seguing to an extended outro of Jupiter-esque spiraling-while-twinkling guitars. The album closes with three effects-heavy numbers akin to the solo psychedelic pop albums by singer/guitarist Steve Brodsky where his love for later Beatles shines through.
