1 - Caliban, a metalcore band, was formed in Germany in 1997 under the name Never Again. After 6 months of playing together, the band recorded their first two songs for a compilation, which was never released. The songs were sent to several record labels, and Lifeforce Records was the first to offer the band a record deal. The band's first self-titled MCD came out in the summer of 1998. To promote the CD, Caliban played many shows all over Europe and a few support shows for bands like Morning Again, Earth Crisis, and Cro-Mags.
After their European tour, in 1999 Caliban entered the studio to record their first full-length CD, entitled A Small Boy and a Grey Heaven. The CD received favorable reviews in many big zines and many smaller hardcore and metal zines. The band was described as a mixture of Slayer, Poison the Well, and Hatebreed.
Vent came out in April 2001. Vent was released by Imperium Records and by Howling-Bull Records in Japan. Shortly after the release, Caliban was offered the opportunity to tour Japan to play the Beast-Feast 2001 in the Yokohama Arena, sharing stage with bands including Slayer, Pantera, Machine Head, Biohazard, and Morbid Angel. The Japan trip was followed by a US tour with Bloodjinn, which was interrupted by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
In August 2002 Caliban recorded their third official release Shadow Hearts. This record was more melodic and harmonic than its predecessors. In 2004 the band got a record deal with Roadrunner Records and started to record their fourth album, The Opposite From Within, alongside famous producer Andy Sneap.
In July 2005 the band again made a record with their friends from Heaven Shall Burn called The Split Program II.
In February 2006 the band released the album The Undying Darkness. It was produced by Anders Friden, the vocalist of In Flames.
In May 2007 the band released The Awakening. They are using 7 string guitars and less clean vocals in their new material. There are 12 songs on this album.

Devil's Night
Caliban Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I lost my heart, my heart and light
I am dead, dead but alive
A forgotten soul with savage eyes
I'm the demon you created
This nightmare is real i'm the shadow behind
I'm everything you fear
Through blood and tears we broke this spell
You'll be by my side
Sleep well my darling, goodbye farewell
You'll be by my side
Black scars and a harlequin's face
Death in disguise, fallen from grace
Vengeance is mine
Crow-shaped blood stain, darkness divine
I'm the demon you created
This nightmare is real i'm the shadow behind
I'm everything you fear
Through blood and tears we broke this spell
You'll be by my side
Sleep well my darling, goodbye farewell
You'll be by my side
We fly away on broken wings
This is the end of everything salvation!
Through blood and tears we broke this spell
You'll be by my side
Sleep well my darling, goodbye farewell
You'll be by my side
The lyrics of Caliban's song "Devil's Night" tell a story of darkness, vengeance, and a desire for companionship. The singer, who has been abandoned and forgotten, describes themselves as a lost soul with savage eyes. They claim to be the demon created by someone else's actions, the nightmare that lurks in the shadows and embodies all their fears.
The chorus of the song suggests that the singer and the person who created them have broken a spell together, perhaps escaping a cycle of pain or torment. The singer promises that their companion will always be by their side, bidding them farewell and urging them to sleep well.
The second verse introduces the imagery of black scars and a harlequin's face, symbolizing both darkness and deception. The singer claims vengeance as their own, and the mention of a crow-shaped blood stain and darkness divine evokes a sense of sinister power.
The final lines of the song imply a flight towards the end, using broken wings as a metaphor for the destruction and loss that surround them. The singer refers to it as the "end of everything salvation," suggesting that they have reached a point of no return, where any hope of redemption has been lost.
Overall, the lyrics of "Devil's Night" depict a dark and haunting narrative of a tormented soul seeking revenge and yearning for companionship, while also acknowledging their own role in the creation of their dark identity.
Line by Line Meaning
Once upon a time at the devil's night
In a dark and sinister setting, a story unfolds
I lost my heart, my heart and light
I experienced a deep emotional loss, a loss of my inner strength and guidance
I am dead, dead but alive
I exist in a state between life and death, trapped in a limbo
A forgotten soul with savage eyes
I am a disregarded individual with fierce and intense eyes
I'm the demon you created
I have become the embodiment of the darkness you have brought forth
This nightmare is real i'm the shadow behind
The horrors you face are not imaginary, I am the hidden force causing them
I'm everything you fear
I represent all the terrifying aspects that haunt you
Through blood and tears we broke this spell
We overcame a curse through sacrifice and suffering
You'll be by my side
You will accompany me through this journey
Sleep well my darling, goodbye farewell
Rest peacefully, my beloved, as we part ways
Black scars and a harlequin's face
I bear the markings of pain and wear a mask of deceit
Death in disguise, fallen from grace
I am a disguised embodiment of death, having lost my former innocence and purity
Vengeance is mine
I seek retribution for the wrongs done to me
Crow-shaped blood stain, darkness divine
A mark of my presence, a symbol of ominous darkness, stained with blood
We fly away on broken wings
We escape despite our brokenness, soaring towards freedom
This is the end of everything salvation!
This marks the ultimate conclusion where all possibilities of redemption are lost
