Cavern Deep Post “The Pulse” Lyric Video
Swedish narrative doomers Cavern Deep — whose narrative, yes, is at least in part about a deep cavern — released their second full-length, Part II – Breach (review here) on July 14, and have accordingly been making their way through the album in a series of lyric videos. They did similar with their 2021 self-titled debut (review here), producing a series of lyric and live performance videos. Working under the banner of their own imprint, Bonebag Records, they can pretty much roll out whatever they want on their own schedule. So here we are.
“The Pulse” closes Part II – Breach, and brings the second guest vocal spot from Susie McMullan, best known for her work in Brume. She appears earlier on the album in “Primordial Basin” and her return for the closer gives a symmetry that corresponds to the fluidity of the storyline. It is a course of depressive, downer doom, an ending even if the story will go on. There’s an orb, flesh is obliterated, you know the deal. It doesn’t work out well. They call it their favorite track on the record, and while it would be exactly my kind of humor for a band to put out videos for every song on their album and call each one of them, individually, their favorite, I believe it about “The Pulse.” That atmosphere is so dense you feel like you can swim through it.
Even if this is the last track on the record, it’s probably not the last lyric video they’ll do, so keep an eye out. I’m not usually one for pushing such things, but subscribing on YouTube might be handy. They give kind of a vague summary of where the story is at by the time the album heads toward its ending, but if you want to dig further (pun not initially intended, but definitely left in on purpose), hit up the review linked in the first sentence of this post, which has the full album stream (also below if you’re feeling lazy) and all the track descriptions from the band. As much as you want to put in, effort-wise, Cavern Deep are ready to meet you on that level.

This is the last song on our latest record Part II – Breach, it is slow and features the haunting vocals of Susie McMullan of Brume. It might be the most odd track on the album, but it is our favourite.
The Synopsis is as follows:
This is it.
The release.
The soothing of the inner ache.
The organic matter is peeled off layer by layer as the being passes the rift.
The glowing orb withers away and sinks into the sea.
The pulsating passage lays bare.
It is liquid.
Lethal.
Bodiless.
It is ready.
They are doomed.
The concept album “Part II – Breach” is out now.
Cavern Deep is:
Kenny-Oswald Duvfenberg – Guitars and Vocals
Max Malmer – Bass and Vocals
Dennis Sjödin – Drums, Backup Vocals and Keys
