Cave In: Planets of Old 12” (Hydra Head, 7/7/09)
“Retina Sees Rewind”
[audio:https://alarm-magazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Cave-In_Retina-Sees-Rewind.mp3|titles=Cave In: “Retina Sees Rewind”]The lengthy and quizzical journey of Cave In continued in 2009, as the former metal-core darlings released their heaviest effort since the late 1990s. A throttling thrash-punk assault, Planets of Old is an excellent combo of big riffs, beheamoth bass grooves, garage rock, searing screams, and Stephen Brodsky‘s crooning.
