Cavern announce new album ‘Powdered’
CAVERN have announced a new album!
Titled Powdered, the upcoming album from the Maryland-based post-rock trio is their fourth full-length effort and is scheduled to be released in August this year.
The six tracks comprising Powdered were recorded at GodCity Studio in Salem, Massachusetts with the legendary Kurt Ballou [CONVERGE] and Zach Weeks and mastered by Magnus Lindberg [CULT OF LUNA]. Speaking about the upcoming album, drummer Stephen Schrock says, “the writing process for CAVERN has always been a very collaborative effort which normally results in [guitarist] Zach Harkins and I getting angry at one another over very minuscule elements of songs. [Bassist/vocalist] Rose [Heater] provided a very cool headed voice and approach when it came to getting the songs finished. We decided to record with Kurt at GodCity while we were driving back from a Canadian tour in 2019. We had already recorded a few songs at a different studio but wanted to take things to the next level. We had talked to Kurt before about recording when we were a two-piece but thought that he could really help us achieve the sound we wanted with this new material. We want our sound to be abrasive and loud but also groovy and bright at times. We all have such different influences and come from different backgrounds musically so we’re constantly trying to keep things interesting and have fun while also remaining thoughtful and heartfelt.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first song from the upcoming album; titled Dove. Speaking about the new song, bassist/vocalist Rose Heater says, “Dove was one of the last songs I wrote lyrics for on the record. The words that kept popping up created images of my own experience with anxiety. The song ended up being my representation of a panic attack.”
