Cavern Deep Post “Skeletal Wastes” Video; Part II – Breach Out July 14

With substantial chug, comfortably soaring melody, and a video that’s hypnotic in its use of AI processing while also kind of silly in the actual performance of the band itself — at least as regards guitarist/vocalist Kenny-Oswald Duvfenberg, who’s very clearly having a good time (and that’s awesome; I hear really great things about fun) — the thematic/atmospheric doomers Cavern Deep herald their second album with its second single. Sorry not sorry, but it’s clear in listening and watching that the Swedish three-piece are digging deeper into their sound on the follow-up to their 2021 self-titled debut (review here), the long stretch of synth ambience offsetting and complementing the central chug in kind.

Part II – Breach is the name of the album, and it continues the narrative thread that the first record started, while marking a new beginning for the band, who’ll release it July 14 through their own label Bonebag Records. The sophomore LP has been in the can since the debut came out, and between the two releases, Cavern Deep have unveiled covers of Frank Zappa/Captain Beefheart (posted here) and Philip Glass (posted here), and collaborated with Monolord guitarist/vocalist Thomas V. Jäger on a single (posted here) that will feature as the bonus track on the album. This in addition to (I think) two video series, launching the label, and playing live. They are the very definition of keeping busy, and while I don’t like to speculate, as we move toward the July release of the second album, I would not be the least bit surprised to find they already have the next thing — whatever it might be — in the works.

I’ll be streaming Part II – Breach on July 12 ahead of its official release, so keep an eye out, and in the meantime, the clip for “Skeletal Wastes” is at the bottom of the post. Preorder links and all that follow as per the PR wire:

Psych Doom act Cavern Deep releases “Skeletal Wastes” track/video

Before it, an ancient war ground. It is vast and dreadful to behold.

The last big battle of a dying civilization. The last gasping breath.

The being makes its way through labyrinths of giant dead abominations and remnants of war machines since long put to sleep. Picking up pace. Slowly burning from inside with an ever-growing sense of meaning. It is the final solution. The retaliation of many. The faint glow in its veins extends to a cord.

The hovering placenta is feeding it in a steady rhythm, preparing the being for its passing.

The concept album “Part II – Breach” is out the 14th of July.
