cave canem

ok, this is the band i play in, it´s a kind of downtuned hardcore, inspired by HIS HERO IS GONE, NEUROSIS... i know quite a lot bands try to play this type of music after tradgedy released their first record... but i like to play and listen to this kind of music...so i don´t care. i posted everithing we ever released, in the order we made and recorded the songs...decide for yourself if you like it and don´t be shy and let me know what you think!

DEMO TAPE (2005)

this are the first songs we ever made together,
we drove to a friends d.i.y-studio in eisenberg, close to leibzig. It was in december and on the highway our van broke down, the engine was fucked, everithing turned in to a moneygrave... in the end we made it to eisenberg.
if i listen to the songs now i´m quite unsatisfied, especial with the sound of my voice, but i think that´s the way it goes first try to be serious haha. but some songs i still like! frank from EPISTROPHY released the 9 songs on tape. i realy like the cover, it was printed silver on black. the front picture we stole by thomas ott, great artist, but sadfully there was no way to get in contact with him...

CAVE CANEM/FRACTURA SPLIT7´(2006)
so this was the first vinyl release of a band i played with. we shared this with our friends from FRACTURA. they where living in lübeck and bremen at this time. sadfully they don´t exist anymore, but the drummer has a really good new band called FAKE EMPIRE. allright whats left to say... 2 songs each band and released by a couple of d.i.y labels from germany and poland.(end of silence, endless sickness, trujaca fala, tofu guerilla & contrazt rec.!) The artwork is made by ARMSROCK (check his blog!) and i love it, it´s a fold-out cover, wich completes the front picture and set´s it in a different meaning... i was impressed by the way ARMSROCK made the cover, he wanted the lyrics for the songs and tried to do a picture wich fits to the lyrics...well done!

CAVE CANEM-S/T 7` (2007)
oh shit, this took ages to release, we went to studio in winter 2006, and it was put out in summer 2007 by EPISTROPHY and PAIN OF MIND. the single contains three songs recorded from GREGCORE in hamburg. in the same session we recorded the song FROST for the split 7` with THE HOLY MOUNTAIN. i´m realy happy with the work of GREGCORE. the front cover was made by a friend of us called lars. i think he´s a great artist, but he allways thinks he´s not good enough wich is bullshit haha.

LUFTSCHLOSS VS. STURM (2008)
it´s just one song we recorded in our practiceroom, to be honest it´s one of my favorites! it was released on the V/A VIVA KÖPI! lp put out
by BEHIND THE SCENES. not much to say, just listen to it! DOWNLOAD

CAVE CANEM/THE HOLY MOUNTAIN SPLIT 7´ (2008)
this 7´ was a fucking pain in the ass! nearly 1 1/2 years after we recorded the song it was put out. two days before we went on tour we got the lucky the message that it´s finaly done! yes! for me this piece of plastic means a lot, released on ALERTA ANTIFASCISTA and NO IDEA, two labels wich brought so much good music to my ears put out at least one side of our music haha! our song FROST is one of our best songs i think. the cover is made by HUSH and i love it!

FROST
do not complain-save your spot under the sun
stare into the fire-so that you don´t feel the cold
it is creeping the leg up from the toes
claiming tribute inexorably
do not complain...
maintain the machine-everithing in motion
collective common sense is the last thing to die off
do not complain...
one of the many-the man in the crowd
aproaching the big goal, wich is not yours,
never was and never will be
do not complain...
approaching the big goal-wich is not yours,
never was and never will be
but as long as things are kept in motion-you will
not feel the cold
surrounded by nothing-your kind
the man in the crowd
do not complain...
