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.
They are currently touring Europe with Soilwork, Sonic Syndicate, and Dark Tranquillity, on the Vans Eastpak Antidote Tour.

Caliban Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Out of my fear to fail
But this fear created
A hope that woke me up
The awakening
The awakening
The awakening
The lyrics of Caliban's "The Awakening" deals with themes of fear, failure, and hope. The singer of the song confesses to burying his dreams out of the fear of failing to achieve them. This fear, however, leads to the creation of a new hope that eventually wakes him up. This hope represents a change in perspective, a new awareness that comes from facing one's fears and acknowledging the possibility of failure. By embracing this realization, the singer is able to awaken to a new sense of purpose and direction.
In broader terms, the song can be seen as a powerful message about the importance of facing our fears and not being held back by the possibility of failure. By acknowledging our vulnerabilities and embracing them, we can discover a new strength and resilience that can help us achieve our dreams. This awakening can offer a new sense of possibility and hope that was not previously recognized.
Line by Line Meaning
I buried my dreams
I gave up on my aspirations
Out of my fear to fail
Because I was afraid of not succeeding
But this fear created
However, this feeling of trepidation gave rise to
A hope that woke me up
An optimism that spurred me into action
The awakening
This newfound awareness and motivation
The awakening
This profound realization and rebirth of purpose
The awakening
This powerful epiphany that transformed me
