Cave In has announced their new album, Final Transmission, releasing via Hydra Head Records on June 7th. The band shared a new song, ‘All Illusion’, which you can hear below, and pre-order the album now. The band had reconvened in February of 2018 at their rehearsal space in Boston to work on material for their next record. It had been nearly seven years since their previous album, White Silence, had been released. On March 28th, 2018, bassist Caleb Scofield was killed in an auto accident. There are no words to describe what a devastating blow this was to his wife and children, his friends, family, and bandmates—not to mention his countless fans. The new album contains Caleb’s final compositions and performances with Cave In and even has a haunting vocal performance in the way of a message from Caleb, that opens the album.

Half of the proceeds from Final Transmission will be given to Caleb’s wife and children. “I feel really lucky to have this record,” Adam McGrath concludes. “I love it, but I don’t like listening to it. I’m sure I’ll listen to it eventually, but right now it’s difficult. Just hearing him play kills me. I’ll miss him forever.”
