In celebration of this headlining tour, Culture Abuse have shared their first new track (and music video, directed by David Kelling and Barbara Georges) in nearly a year.

CAVE IN ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM, ‘FINAL TRANSMISSION,’ DUE OUT JUNE 7 VIA HYDRA HEAD

In February of 2018, the members of Cave In gathered at their rehearsal space in Boston to work on material for their next record. It had been nearly seven years since their previous album, White Silence, had been released. But they’d been writing and rehearsing methodically, off and on, to craft a worthy follow-up. In that time, guitarist/vocalist Steve Brodsky had started prog-metal power trio Mutoid Man, drummer J.R. Conners and guitarist Adam McGrath started psych-punk outfit Nomad Stones, and bassist Caleb Scofield was busy with simian rock supergroup Old Man Gloom and his own band, Zozobra. After jamming all weekend with Cave In, Caleb got in his truck and drove home to New Hampshire. It was the last time his bandmates would ever see him.
