![]() I'm so proud of all the work we did with Caleb, but moving forward I knew it had to be a statement, and I knew we had to achieve a goal that Caleb left us with, before he passed.Ĭaleb Scofield really set us on this path of, 'We need to focus on the best parts of our band that set us apart from our peers' Adam McGrath McGrath: “For me, I just knew if Cave In were going to do another record without Caleb Scofield then it had to be amazing. With this record, when we were done with it, I looked back and went, 'I think we achieved our vision.'”Īnd what was that vision, in the case of Heavy Pendulum ?
