- Expanded 12” includes 3 bonus tracks
- Cover design by J. Bannon of Converge
- Remastered for vinyl by James Plotkin
- Digital download of the album with purchase.
Looking through Cave In’s expansive career, between their two
most towering achievements sits the Creative Eclipses EP where
you can see everything change.
It’s been 20 years since the Boston quartet sliced canyons through
multiple scenes, starting as a corrosive hardcore band before
releasing some of the most unorthodox and exhilarating songs in
extreme music on Until Your Heart Stops. And before the aftershocks
could die down, Cave In evolved more radically than
anyone could have predicted.
While members have forged divergent paths with Old Man
Gloom, Mutoid Man, Clouds and Zozobra in the years since,
Creative Eclipses was the first signal that a band already
celebrated for their innovation could effortlessly push beyond
anything they’d tried before.
Before Jupiter could transform Cave In into rock saviors, there
were these five tracks. Opener “Luminance” is an ascendent,
shimmering hymn that bruises the troposphere. The cover of
Failure’s “Magnified,” is taken over with such fervor it feels like
something the band hatched themselves, and the acoustic “Burning
Down the Billboards” is both a revolutionary and apocalyptic
anthem. The two “Sonatas,” both ambient tracks, can wholly stand
on their own as fascinating immersions into noise.
Creative Eclipses is much more than a bridge between the two
worlds Cave In has inhabited; it’s a captivating example of the
sonic rewards that follow the band every time they’ve chosen to
obliterate expectations.

Until Your Heart Stops continues and widens Cave In's assault upon body and mind. The chugga-chugga chunks are still there, this time refined into escalating and edgy walls of sound that owe a large debt to Slayer. Newly present, however, are forays into psychedelia and noise. At times expansive and at other times dark and claustrophobic, these always aggressive ventures open new doors for Cave In. When fused with the usual jarring assemblage of riffs, a bold and original heavy music is created. Perhaps the only band who has successfully tread similar ground is Neurosis. Until Your Heart Stops' production is a major force as well; the band's undertakings are captured and conveyed in a way that at times sound impossibly dense, balancing gut-stabbing bottom end with piercing highs. This is one key factor among many that burn away the hardcore framework through which Cave In originally slipped. - Matt Kantor

The golden-hearted boys of Cave In are pulling together to help out Andrew Schneider's studio Translator Audio, which was completely destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. If you don't know already, Schneider has helped record a slew of amazing records, many of which we've had the honor of releasing. Records by bands such as Cave In, Converge, Daughters, Keelhaul, Unsane, Zozobra, 5ive, Scissorfight, and more (just look him up on discogs. It's nuts.).

| Some of the aftermath. |
From Cave In:
As of today we've launched two projects:
1) AUCTIONS:
There's a bunch of Cave In & Cave In-related vinyl from our personal
collections now up for grabs on eBay.
Listings can be found here: http://myworld.ebay.com/glowpole
2) RECORDING:
A high-quality version of the Cave In BBC Session from 2002 is now
available for download, thanks to Co-Extinction Records.
Here's the link: http://www.coextinction.com/Artists.php?ArPg_CaveIn.html
Finally, people can donate money directly to Andrew here:
http://unfloodbkmusic.blogspot.com/
Feel free to spread the word however you please. Any mention of this
will be a huge help. Let's generate some much-needed loot for the
talented Mr. Schneider to fight the savage loss of his livelihood.
Cheers!
Steve & Cave In
Please donate if you can.
Hopefully you know how important it is for bands to have a place to practice, record, and create. These guys really care. Please show them that you do, too.

Ok, you yard-apes, you've been whining and begging for Old Man Gloom to "Please play west coast" "+1 Seattle" "Los Angeles, por favor," etc. perhaps because you want to witness the resumed gloom, or perhaps because the combined forces of the OMG Institute produced a method of pre-embedding the pending tour dates through space-time into the subconscious, precognitive nether regions of your simian brain flesh. Regardless, here is the mostly complete itinerary of Old Man Gloom's impending West Coast Tour (Maybe there are one or two more shows to be announced. Keep checking back compulsively like we know you will anyway):
09/03 Los Angeles, CA @ The Echo w/ William Fowler Collins, Sad Vicious, & Ides of Gemini
09/03 Los Angeles, CA @ The Echo w/ William Fowler Collins, Sad Vicious, & Ides of Gemini
09/04 San Diego, CA @ The Soda Bar w/ William Fowler Collins, Sad Vicious, & Ides of Gemini
09/05 San Francisco, CA @ Bottom of the Hill w/ William Fowler Collins & Sad Vicious
09/08 Seattle, WA @ The Highline
Also, buy some more copies of Old Man Gloom - NO for your friends and family.

INTER-OFFICE DATA EXCHANGE BETWEEN THE HEAD EXECUTIVES AND THE OMG INSTITUTE, WINTER 2012
A: Do any of you have interest in doing a small number of OMG live events in 2012? First
off, a fest in Poland and possibly some additional shows before and/or after?
C: If it makes sense to do some other shows then great, I could probably get away with
being gone for a short week. If not then I'm fine with just doing the fest and taking
everyone's share of money. I figure I deserve it based on the amount of stress I endured
during the recording process. I need a googleplex to make this work.
S: I'll drop some knowledge on ya'll. Caleb is trying to trick us. A googleplex isn't a
number, but a wrestling maneuver. He's simply trying to make sure we'll all wrestle on
the tour. ....plus, we'll have merch to sell, and from what I understand, the Polish love
balsa wood aeroplanes.
A: Nate - just so you know, the fact that Santos drinks now means he can just come
along to entertain Caleb, and we can finally ask Kurt to play drums for us full time.
C: If we can keep our over head to a minimum then I would be on board. And of course I
will need a bowl of Wendy's french onion soup at every show. And it better be fucking hot.
A: Wendy's soup. Got it. You are a prick.
N: Danzig wanted a Wendy's chicken sandwich in addition to his piping hot french onion
soup. "No mayo, No mustard. Dry."
A: Even if we never play a show, just talking about them is reward enough for me.
N: I'm sorry if that last email came off shitty. I read it after I sent it and realized the tone
could have been misunderstood. Though I AM shitty, I promise I wasn't trying to be.
S: Hey fellas. Any progress in figuring out your schedule Caleb? Maybe I missed some
emails. I got the one where I was kicked out, so I'm just writing as a fan. Can I get on the
guestlist if you do play shows?
C: Ok, so in theory this would work for me. Drop the kids off at daycare 7am on Tuesday
the 1st. Drive to airport, fly to London. Shred hard in London Tuesday night. Make our
way to the Poland fest by shredding hard through Europe. Maybe another show after the
fest heading in the right direction? I would need to try and be home by 4pm on Monday
the 7th. You can probably throw in a trip to the emergency room somewhere in there,
mid-week or so. Again, this would be an ideal situation for me but I realize everybody
has their own shit as well. I'm just spitballin' as they say in the industry.
A: Well, Santos it looks like you might be able to play with us after all. Do you know how
to press play on a discman?...Also, anyone have an opinion about the new sequence of
the record?
N: I'm fine with this new version too, I just like it when records punch you in the face
right off the bat. Thinking about you staring at me makes me uncomfortable.
A: How about if I jump out of the record cover and punch you in the face next time you
put it on?
C: Im good with it.
N: Him punching me or the sequence?
C: Both.
N: Well, I guess we can get the punch over with this weekend.
A: Only if we listen to the record.
SELLING POINTS //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
- Old Man Gloom is a supergroup (containing members of Converge, ISIS, Cave In,
Zozobra, Doomriders, Mamiffer, etc.), but instead of making shitty records like other
"supergroups", Old Man Gloom actually makes great ones.
- NO is an undeniably great title for an album, and also serves as an ironclad manifesto
in opposition to the moral and aesthetic decay of our global society.
- This is Old Man Gloom's fifth album, their first in eight years. They weren't on hiatus,
just busy writing the greatest album in music history. That makes them the proud
progenitors of the five greatest albums of all time, NO being number one. NO is like
"one", only spelled backwards and without the "E".
- Old Man Gloom are playing shows in 2012 and 2013, just in time for the collapse of
the global economy.
- The acronym for Old Man Gloom is "OMG". "OMG" has become a household phrase
since its introduction in to the popular lexicon in 1999, directly coinciding with the
formation of Old Man Gloom the year prior. The group has never been properly credited
for this massively important contribution to global culture.
- NO was made using acoustic and electric instruments including but not limited to:
sheet metal, toilets, human voices, guitars, drums, tambourines, shoes, hands, various
other percussive tools, analog and digital electronic devices, and brains.
You can stream a couple tracks and pre-order the album on all formats on the OMG Bandcamp page or pre-order it with limited edition clothing in the Hydra Head Shop
Sugarbear put in some time and popped a pile of new items and bundles onto RealTomatoKetchup, just in time for there to not be enough time to ship before Christmas. Real (tomato) talk, though, this isn't stuff you want to give someone else, anyway. These presents are for you, gifts to tell yourself, "Hey, good going on sticking it out through the pre-apocalypse. Here's a little something for you, sport."
And so, here is what you have to choose from to reward that special someone on your private "Me" list:
Get on it, though, most of these have single digit quantities in stock.
Also, to check out our actual webstore (not the slipshod one where we sell our office leftovers) head over to www.HydraHeadShop.com
