As the final single leading up to their eagerly anticipated album, *Back From Hell*, set to be released on April 25th, CALIBAN is gearing up to unleash the album's most intense track — "Dear Suffering," featuring the powerful vocals of Joe Bad from Fit For An Autopsy. This collaboration promises to deliver an unparalleled blend of ferocity and emotional depth, reflecting both bands' unique styles while pushing the boundaries of their sound. Fans can expect a dynamic mix of crushing riffs, thunderous drums, and haunting melodies that resonate with confounding personal struggles.
With "Dear Suffering," Caliban plunges deeper into the tumultuous sea of raw emotional expression. This track emerges as a striking anti-anthem, steeped in both despair and defiance, meticulously exploring the intricate themes of existential pain, profound inner torment, and the unyielding acceptance of suffering as an ever-present companion in life.
Featuring the powerful vocals of Joe Bad from Fit For An Autopsy, "Dear Suffering" serves to solidify the upcoming album *Back From Hell* as one of Caliban's most intense and ambitious projects to date. The song brilliantly fuses unfiltered aggression with an atmosphere heavy with crushing melancholy, creating a soundscape that is both visceral and haunting. The dynamic interplay between frontman Andreas Dörner and Joe Bad amplifies the song’s emotional intensity, transforming it into a violent yet profoundly cathartic experience that resonates with listeners on a deep level.
Caliban articulates their intent behind "Dear Suffering," stating, “This track is our means of confronting pain head-on rather than fleeing from it. It’s about fully embracing the darkness, acknowledging the myriad struggles that shape our identities, and transmuting that suffering into resilience and strength.” They further emphasize the importance of Joe's contribution, noting, “Having Joe on this track adds another dimension of intensity — we recognized that his distinct voice would provide the raw aggression the song demanded, and he delivered with astonishing power and authenticity.”
In essence, "Dear Suffering" stands as one of Caliban’s darkest and heaviest offerings to date, acting as a rallying cry for those traversing their own personal hell, inviting them to find solidarity in their struggles and strength in their suffering.
For over two decades, Caliban has cemented its reputation as one of the defining forces within the metalcore genre. With their forthcoming album, *Back From Hell*, the German band continues to push the boundaries of their sound while remaining anchored in the raw intensity and emotional depth that have characterized their illustrious career. The band is led by founding members Andreas Dörner (vocals) and Marc Görtz (guitar), whose vision has shaped Caliban's distinct identity since the beginning.
Joining them is new vocalist and bassist Iain Duncan, whose exceptional clean vocals, intricate songwriting abilities, and diverse musical background introduce a refreshing and dynamic element to the band’s already potent chemistry. The lineup is completed by longtime drummer Patrick Grün, known for his relentless rhythmic prowess, and guitarist Denis Schmidt, whose technical skill and creative flair further enrich the group's sound. Together, Caliban's formidable roster is poised to deliver an experience that is both relentlessly powerful and emotionally charged, reaffirming their status as pioneers in the metalcore scene.
The upcoming album, *Back From Hell*, is described as the band’s most ambitious project to date. It delves into profound themes of inner turmoil, resilience, and catharsis, merging their signature crushing riffs and guttural screams with atmospheric melodies and state-of-the-art production techniques.
