Cavern Deep Finish Recording New Album; Hint at Lineup Change
And when I say hint above, they’re kind of smacking you in the face with it. Fair enough that the Swedish conceptual doom storytellers would bring a full-time keyboardist into their lineup. Atmosphere and mood-setting has been a big piece of what they’ve done across their two-thus-far long-players, 2023’s Part II – Breach (review here) and the prior 2021 self-titled debut (review here), and no doubt they’ll put those keys and expensive looking whatnots in the picture they posted to their socials to foreboding use on the upcoming collection, which will be out… well…
Pardon me if I don’t hazard a guess, but it was more than a year from me posting about the recording being done to the actual release date. A big difference between 2024 and 2021 in that regard is that now the band have their own label in the form of Bonebag Records — they released their own second record and just put out Troy the Band‘s Cataclysm (review here) like a week ago — and pandemic-era vinyl pressing times have returned to something approaching normalcy. So I’m not being coy. It might be six months, it might be tomorrow or the next Bandcamp Friday and it might be never. I’m just a caveman, as Phil Hartman occasionally said in the ’90s.
But progress is progress and I feel pretty safe trusting Cavern Deep‘s next full-length will continue their forward creative push and progression, and whenever it shows up is fine so long as it does.
A quick blurb from the social media:
Part III is done and recorded! It is the most ambitious album we’ve done so far.
We also might have a new member in the band. Any ideas about what instrument he might be playing?
