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.

is this hella underrated?
Cylas D Vidrine
As amazing as this song is, the lyrics really do suit a different genre. Not sure who would be a good match for. Pure scream metal doesn't do it enough justice. Perhaps Adam from the old Three days Grace or My darkest days. Here's lyrics: Don't be afraid of me
I'll be there for you
Night and day
I'll show you things
That make you laugh
I'll show you thinks
That makes you smile
Let me
Be your friend
Give me
The chance to conclude
Let me erase this time
Cause when I look around
I see just pain
This awful time
That makes you sick
This awful time
That makes you cry
Let me
Be your friend
Give me
The chance to conclude
What drives you insane
Don't run away
From your inner fears
I'll be there for you
Forever
Whatever you'll say
I'll be there for you
Foorever
In every way
So what's your answer now
Are we friends or should I leave you alone
I'll show you things
That make you laugh
I'll show you thinks
That makes you smile
Let me
Be your friend
Give me
The chance to conclude
What drives you insane
