CAVE from Ludwigsburg is a new band consisting of experienced and renowned musicians.
Chris Lorey, known for his work with the progressive metal bands IVANHOE and SCENES,
had the vision of an old-school hard'n heavy band with progressive elements and a modern,
contemporary production. Chris had several extended sessions with musician friends. At
some point Roberto Palacios (CHINCHILLA, MY DARKEST HATE, GOBLINS BLADE) joined
the band and after a few magical moments it was clear that these songs had to be recorded
and released properly!
An old band colleague of Roberto's, drummer Steffen Theurer, was recruited to record the
drums in the studio. Since Roberto knows ex-TSO, ex-METAL CHURCH singer Ronny
Munroe from back in the day, they decided to ask him. Ronny has one of the most unique
voices in hard rock and metal today. After listening to the demos, Ronny immediately
decided to join the band. Since Steffen Theurer (ex-SYMPHORCE) is very busy, CAVE
needed a permanent drummer, and this is where former CHINCHILLA drummer Chris
Schwinn came in. The band began recording "Out Of The Cave" in Chris' own basement
studio in late 2022. The album was mixed and mastered by Marc Ayerle. CAVE stands for
melodic hard rock with slightly progressive influences and will delight all fans from
QUEENSRYCHE to VAN HALEN and from SAVATAGE to MASTERPLAN. Listening to the
album, you can immediately hear the musicians' 30 years of experience on average and it
already sounds like a best-of album.
