Caliban announce new album "Back From Hell" and release video for title track "Back From Hell (ft. The Browning)"

For over two decades, CALIBAN has stood as one of the defining forces in Metalcore. With their upcoming album “Back From Hell” that is scheduled for a release April 25^th, 2025, the German band continues to evolve their sound while staying true to the intensity and emotion that have defined their career. Led by founding members Andreas Dörner (vocals) and Marc Görtz (guitar), the band’s current lineup includes new vocalist and bassist Iain Duncan, whose clean vocals, songwriting skills and diverse perspective and experience bring a fresh dimension to their already powerful dynamic. Complemented by longtime drummer Patrick Grün and guitarist Denis Schmidt, CALIBAN’s formidable lineup is poised to deliver a relentless and emotionally charged experience that reaffirms their status as Metalcore pioneers.

Following the success of their recent singles—"I Was a Happy Kid Once”, “Echoes”, and “Guilt Trip (feat. Mental Cruelty)”—CALIBAN is set to release their most ambitious work yet. “Back From Hell” explores themes of inner struggle, resilience, and catharsis, blending their signature crushing riffs and guttural vocals with atmospheric melodies and modern production.

Today they are thrilled to reveal their new single and video, “Back From Hell (feat. The Browning)” with singer Jonny McBee featured in the video that was directed by Mirko Witzki for Witzki Vision: https://youtu.be/z4DXIoWCr1Q

BAND

Heavyweights CALIBAN aren’t interested in genres or being pigeonholed at this point. They’ve moved on. But as an integral part of the early modern metal scene in Europe—full-lengths Vent (2001), Shadow Hearts (2003), and The Opposite from Within (2004) cemented the Germans as must-hear, must-see talent—the tag was vouchsafed by fan and press alike upon CALIBAN’s crushing, breakdown-driven music. Now, more than a decade later, the attributes of modern metal persist within the Essen-based quintet’s music, but CALIBAN’s signature sound is informed by a more diverse set of influences.

We’re happy to announce a new member. “We are excited to announce that Iain Duncan has joined CALIBAN as our new bassist and clean vocalist. Iain's incredible talent and fresh energy mark a thrilling new chapter for the band”, says the band. “With Iain on board, we are diving into new material set for release over the next months. We are particularly excited to share our single, ‘I Was a Happy Kid Once’. This track embodies the new direction we're taking and showcases the dynamic contributions Iain brings to our sound. Thank you for your continued support. Stay tuned for more updates and get ready for an incredible year ahead!”
