Description
Over the past decade, CALIBAN have quietly become an exceptional band. Back in 2012, the German veterans released I Am Nemesis, a record that proved there was life in metalcore’s old guard and since then, they’ve put out a formidable run of albums. Ghost Empire, Gravity and Elements were all impressive and despite the English-speaking world largely ignoring them, CALIBAN have had a very good ten years.
Dystopia sees the five-piece continue their streak and subtly evolve at the same time. Here we have 12 breakdown-heavy pit-anthems but with a couple of twists. It’s still recognisably a CALIBAN album and they’ve resisted any urge to venture into outright nu-metal territory, but there are a few hip-hop beats and trap-style vocals sprinkled throughout. This isn’t a band smashing their established sound to bits, but they have prodded at the edges and pushed the envelope a centimetre or two.
