Cold Cave-The Great Pan Is Dead

Pan is Dead, Long Live Pan

Cold Cave

Runnin' Out of Birthdays

Everything Stays Black

This is a most excellent tribute album to a most excellent band. It's got the best bands unfortunate enough to be called metalcore covering one of the best hardcore bands of all time. The great thing is all of these bands are such accomplished musicians they can appropriately transform the song. The best at this is Converge of course, Annihilate This Week sounds like a Converge song, period. Plus American Nightmare, Coalesce, Planes Mistaken For Stars, and Burnt By The Sun among others.
Ha, I once got in a crazy heated E-Bay war trying to win this on four limited edition seven inches, I didn't win. But I did get the twelve inch......oh the days of vinyl hunting....

Don't Wanna Hear It

Might as well just throw this one out here. Before Cold Cave, this is the other electronic band from Wes Eisold. The big burly guy from Hatebreed is along for the ride, the new Cage record reminded me a lot of this stuff, which makes since cuz he shows up on this one. And the guy from Hatebreed is now playing with Cage. Small world. This one gets the Nitrous stamp of approval as well.

Caught In A Cave

Wes Eisold's "no-wave" project. This is the first recording, and has a harder edge that I feel has been lacking from all of the releases Cold Cave has been putting out lately. If you had only listened to Give Up The Ghost, I would say to start out here as far as Cold Cave goes, because it just gets more Euro from here. I don't know if Wes is a fan of Nitrous Oxide, but I will say that whippets and this demo go together like nuts and fudge.
