Methuen MA, United States (1995 – present)
Cave In is an alternative/metalcore band that formed in 1995, in Methuen, Massachusetts.
The group’s early work on Hydra Head Records was more extreme and chaotic in the style of bands like Converge and The Dillinger Escape Plan, but their later output appears to be influenced by a wider range of styles. Their 2003 album Antenna (released on RCA Records) has had more success than previous albums and enabled the band to play the second stage on the 2003 Lollapalooza tour. However, playing Lollapalooza didn’t garner the band enough financial success to prevent them from being dropped from RCA Records’ roster. Although the albums before Jupiter had alluded to melodic yearnings within the group, the throat injuries of lead vocalist Stephen Brodsky clinched the band’s decision to move forward with the group’s present, more euphonious sound and abandon their metalcore leanings.
Most of Cave In’s recent material can be categorized as space rock, using themes centering around space. Examples of this are the songs Jupiter and New Moon, album names Jupiter and Antenna, and the band’s singular brand of resonating ambient “spacey” guitar effects they incorporate into their songs.
Cave In released a new album, entitled Perfect Pitch Black, on September 13, 2005 on Hydra Head Records. Perfect Pitch Black is a quasi-return to Cave In’s metalcore roots, integrating heavy metal-esque vocals and guitar progressions into their well-developed space/prog-rock influences that they’ve been utilizing since Jupiter.

Well 2000 is the beginning of this decade so it must be, plus well Jupiter came out that year and yeah I saw that release date for We Are the Romans on wiki too, though I was convinced it was a 1999 album... anyway I'm turning this into a Botch shout box haha.

the wiki for WatR says it came out January 1, 2000... so if that's legit then I dunno why it's not included. does 2000 count as this decade?

Pall8 wrote:
Yeahh, I just took it as the past 10 years, not this decade, it was 1999 when it came out I believee. I'd have thought they would have made a decade list in 2010? Why are they not taking into consideration next year haha

I don't think WatR came out this decade, so Anthology gets in by a technicality

I googled for it and found http://forums.downloadfestival.co.uk/tm.aspx?m=4241627 I'm guessing its accurate hah

Anyone have a link to that list?

I'm fond of that list too good on Cave In for getting that high, but I was surprised at Botch's Anthology of Dead Ends being included as opposed to We Are the Romans.

decibel did a really good job with that list though, its worth picking up. I was really fucking shocked to see Jupiter at #2 though, I mean they definitely deserve it, I just didn't expect them to hold it at such high standards.

Jupiter is a great album bit I wouldn't put it at #2 thought.

I'd probably accept it on a metal/hardcore list.

No. I don't think Jupiter should be in the first 50 top albums of the decade.
