Caliban Announce New Album "Back From Hell" + Share Video for Title Track

For over two decades, CALIBAN have stood as one of the defining forces in metalcore.

With their upcoming album Back From Hell that is scheduled for a release April 25, 2025, the German band continues to evolve its sound while staying true to the intensity and emotion that has defined its career.

Led by founding members Andreas Dörner (vocals) and Marc Görtz (guitar), the band's current lineup includes new vocalist and bassist Iain Duncan, whose clean vocals, songwriting skills, and diverse perspective and experience bring a fresh dimension to their already powerful dynamic.

Complemented by longtime drummer Patrick Grün and guitarist Denis Schmidt, CALIBAN's formidable lineup is poised to deliver a relentless and emotionally charged experience that reaffirms their status as metalcore pioneers.

Following the success of their recent singles — "I Was a Happy Kid Once," "Echoes," and "Guilt Trip (feat. Mental Cruelty)"— CALIBAN are set to release their most ambitious work yet. Back From Hell explores themes of inner struggle, resilience, and catharsis, blending their signature crushing riffs and guttural vocals with atmospheric melodies and modern production.

CALIBAN are thrilled to reveal their new single and video, "Back From Hell" (Feat. The Browning), with singer Jonny McBee featured in the video that was directed by Mirko Witzki for Witzki Vision.

Watch it below.

The band comments: "'Back Fom Hell' is a declaration of survival. It's about facing your deepest fears and coming out stronger on the other side. This song reflects the struggle of rising from darkness, fighting your way back from rock bottom, and refusing to accept defeat. We wanted it to be a raw, aggressive anthem for anyone who's ever felt trapped but found the strength to break free."

The album is up for pre-order here.

Caliban Share Video for New Single "Guilt Trip (Feat. Mental Cruelty)"

After already launching two songs and videos, CALIBAN have released "Guilt Trip" (Feat. Mental Cruelty), along with a visualizer by The Black Visual. Watch it below.

"'Guilt Trip' is about breaking free from the weight others put on you," states the band. "It's a battle cry for anyone who’s had to fight their way out of someone else’s darkness. It’s a raw, aggressive release of years of pain, facing down the demons of blame and regret. This track captures the struggle to overcome that poison in your veins, the chains that keep you trapped, and finally reclaiming your power."

CALIBAN released two new singles and videos already in 2024: "I Was a Happy Kid Once" + "Echoes"

Caliban Share Video for New Single "Echoes"

After the "I Was A Happy Kid Once" release, CALIBAN are digging even deeper with their new single, "Echoes," which is available on all digital platforms. Listen here.

"'Echoes' is a reflection of the chaos that comes with fighting your inner demons," the band comments. "We wanted to capture that feeling of being trapped in your own mind, where every struggle seems endless, like you're caught in a loop. This song is about losing control but also the desperate fight to break free from the lies and darkness within."

While the message of the song is reflective and serious, CALIBAN decided to have a much more light-hearted approach to the video that echoes recent live shows. It was the first featuring Iain Duncan on bass and vocals.

Check below for the video that was edited by Video Edit & FX: Nils Lesser/Vaultroom Productions.
