Cave In discography

The discography of Cave In, an American rock band, consists of seven studio albums, two live albums, two compilation albums, seven EPs, three singles, three splits, eight compilation contributions and three music videos. Cave In formed in 1995 in Methuen, Massachusetts, where thereafter they began releasing several split singles and demos that eventually culminated in the 1998 compilation album Beyond Hypothermia.[1] Cave In's first studio album, Until Your Heart Stops, was released later in 1998 through Hydra Head Records.[1] These early releases from the band are often considered important albums in developing the metalcore genre.[2][3] The band gradually began to move away from heavy metal and took a more alternative rock and progressive rock approach to their music beginning in 1999 with the EP Creative Eclipses.[4] This new direction continued with Jupiter, Cave In's second studio album in 2000.[4] Cave In released one more EP through Hydra Head Records in 2002, Tides of Tomorrow, before signing with RCA Records.

Cave In's signing with RCA Records proved to be the band's most commercially successful.[5] In 2003, they released their third studio album, Antenna, which became their only album to chart on the Billboard 200, which peaked at number 169.[6] The single "Anchor" off Antenna received some minor radio success, and ranked on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart at number 34.[7] Cave In began working on demo tracks in 2004 that were more in the vein of the band's earlier heavy metal albums. The demos were presented to RCA, but the label refused to fund the recording of a full-length album of that style.[5] Cave In was subsequently dropped from the label, but granted the rights to their new material. The band re-signed to Hydra Head Records, and released Perfect Pitch Black in 2005.[5] One common lyrical theme found in many of the songs on Perfect Pitch Black was the band's feelings of frustration toward their stint on RCA.[5] Perfect Pitch Black became the band's final release before going on an indefinite hiatus in 2006.[1]

Cave In reformed in 2009 and continued releasing material. Their first new release was the EP Planets of Old which was originally made available at their reunion show.[8] In 2010, Cave In started releasing albums in their Anomalies project consisting of previously unreleased or rare songs. The series began with Anomalies Vol. 2, which was a full recording of a 2003 live performance from Italy. This was followed by Anomalies, Vol. 1, a compilation of B-sides and other rarities.[9] A new studio album titled White Silence was released in 2011.[10][11]
