Kickstart your Gigantour withCaliban

Mon 16th Oct, 2006 in Local News

Melbourne metal-core fans can now prepare for Gigantour with a pre-show party headlined by Germany’s finest metal-core exponents, Caliban, in their only Australian headlining performance.

Named after the wild, deformed slave in Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Caliban are currently at their most creative ever. The band’s latest offering, The Undying Darkness, sees Caliban combining brutal guitar staccato-salvos, complex alternate bombastic and clear walls of guitar, beautiful harmonies that consistently flair up and mind-blowing rhythm. Combine this with one of the most dynamic live shows on the international scene and they’re sure to blow the minds of Melbourne metal fans.

Despite their young age, Caliban are already perceived as veterans of the European metal-core scene and within a number of years have amassed an enormous following and become one of the most important and influential bands of that genre. Tours with the likes of Slayer, Pantera, Machine Head, Biohazard and Killswitch Engage have endorsed Caliban as a highly prized requisite on the intern.
