i seem to remember they had a song that was on the kerrang loop back in the day, what was it? 

Inspire? 

That's a tune off the major label record they put out (which tanked). Cave In's material is well worth checking out though regardless of which style you prefer.

sad to hear that Cave In bassist Caleb Scofield has been killed in a car accident :( Cave In were always a bit of an odd band out during the whole emo-boom era, they were always associated with the bands in the genre but were essentially a hardcore band that decided to aim for the radio a few albums in. I'll never forget seeing them play Leeds Festival in '03 or '04 and opening the set playing some of their more alt. rock Antenna era stuff before Scofield took over on vocals half through and they blasted through some of their old hardcore stuff, the crowd were confused to say the least. RIP.

Gutted. Cave In are one of my favourite bands of all time, and I saw them at the Garage in 2001/2, and Big Riff live was one of the fucking heaviest moments of my life. I was on my own, saw an ex girlfriend, got even drunker and ended up proposing in Trafalgar Square. Oh to be 18 again...

Jupiter is an INCREDIBLE album. So expansive for its time, and Antenna was excellent too. But their best song is Dark Driving. If you haven't heard it before, check it out now. Sad, sad news.

I remember seeing them support Foo Fighters back in 2003 and they blew my mind. Jupiter is a brilliant record and Big Riff is one hell of a track.

Nazi cunt Dagon from Inquisition has pleaded guilty to being in possession of child pornography.

Can we just burn the whole of Black Metal like an early 90's church?

I am at a point now where I'm thinking it'd be easier to give up on Black Metal altogether. Navigating the minefield of dodgy cunts is exhausting. Even bands that are supposedly not right wing usually have some kind've murky past or dodgy connection. Watain and Taake have come under fire recently, also.

I'm at the point where I've limited a lot of my black metal listening to openly antifascist and anarchist bands, speaking of which, there's a new Panopticon double album with one half metal and the other more Americana.

Lee Dorrian of Cathedral fame has just released a punk album with his side project Septic Tank, pretty damn good stuff too. It's got a nice little metal edge to it, not too unlike Darkthrone's later stuff.

Ha, he came along to a few of my old punk bands gigs and said he liked us. He was Sexual Deviances most famous fan!

Edit Lee D that is. And Channel U was ace.

I'm very much a sort who favours the old-school when it comes to black metal but, music aside, what struck me about that video is that it's a pretty shameless ripoff of Fjara by Solstafir
