#129 - Cave In - Until Your Heart Stops w/ Dan Thomson (lowheaven)

Everything has to start somewhere. Before the sonic evolution to space-rock on Jupiter and their eventual move to a major label, Cave In was just a group of teenagers trying to find their voice in the East Coast hardcore scene. Born in Methuen, Massachusetts, the band experienced a tumultuous and transitional series of events that helped create their debut album, Until Your Heart Stops.This week we’re joined by special guest Dan Thomson (lowheaven) for a closer look at perhaps the most raw and atypical record in Cave In's discography. We’ll discuss the last minute addition of longtime bassist Caleb Scofield, how Stephen Brodsky suddenly inherited lead vocal duties, the collaborative recording sessions at 30 Blaine (God City) with Kurt Ballou, and the “skronky” Slayer meets Converge-inspired riffs scattered throughout the album’s runtime!Check out Ritual Decay - OUT NOW via MNRK Heavy: https://mnrkheavy.com/collections/lowheavenRecommendations:Cult LeaderChevelleBeastie BoysSWANSSaw (2004)Paranormal Activity (2007)HauntedWeen (1991)Bring Her Back (2025)Sanguisugabogg - Hideous AftermathAFI - Silver Bleeds the Black Sun...Grabbers (2012)D'Angelo - VoodooVideodrome (1983)Gorguts - Colored SandsAce Frehley - Ace FrehleyFollow lowheavenFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lowheavenbandInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lowheavenband/Twitter: https://x.com/lowheavenband?lang=enFollow Riff WorshipInstagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/riffworshippod/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/RiffWorshipPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@RiffWorshipPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out our Official Playlists:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Riffs on Repeat (Spotify)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Riffs on Repeat (YouTube Music)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hits from the Crypt (Apple)⁠
