Before embarking on the Darkness over X-Mas tour, Caliban are releasing ‘Dear Suffering feat. Andreas Bjulver of Cabal‘, filmed in Cologne earlier in 2025. Watch the video here or by clicking the thumbnail below.
The song is part of the digital “Back From Hell (Deluxe Edition)”. For the release, the band didn’t only capture some songs from their home show in Cologne last summer, but also recorded ‘Anthem‘, a brand new song, as well as two cover versions, ‘You Only Live Once‘ and ‘Shout‘.
The band comments on ‘Anthem‘ and the deluxe edition:
“’Anthem’ feels like the perfect final song in terms of message and vibe – but it’s not a goodbye. It’s the exact opposite. It’s our message to you: a thank you for every year, every moment, every step we’ve shared together… and for all the ones still to come. You’re the reason this band exists. Without you, we’re nothing.”
After a 7 year break Caliban are also bringing back their very own ‘Darkness Over X-Mas Tour 2025’:

For over two decades, Caliban has stood as one of the defining forces in metalcore. With their latest album Back From Hell, the German band continues to evolve their sound while staying true to the intensity and emotion that have defined their 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.
