You can’t go wrong with Cave In. Since forming in Methuen, Massachusetts, in 1995, the dynamic four-piece have put out seven albums of unpredictable hard rock sophistication. They started as part of the same metalcore scene as Converge, then diverted into immense prog, alt-rock, sludge, thrash and more, with no two releases ever feeling the same.
Such constant genre-hopping hasn’t been good to Cave In’s wallets over the years, but it’s also made them one of the most consistently incredible cult bands of their generation. To celebrate these explorers’ spotless discography, Metal Hammer’s revisited their every studio album, then ranked them from the good to the untouchable.
