“We have redefined Caliban’s identity with “Back From Hell” – interview with Iain Duncan of Caliban

For more than two decades, Caliban has been one of the defining forces in metalcore. With their upcoming album “Back From Hell” set for release on April 25th, 2025, the German band continues to evolve their sound while remaining faithful to the intensity and emotion that have defined their career. Under the leadership of 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 abilities 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 impressive lineup is ready to deliver a relentless and emotionally charged experience that reinforces their position as metalcore pioneers. Following the success of their recent singles—”I Was a Happy Kid Once“, “Echoes“, and “Guilt Trip (feat. Mental Cruelty)”—Caliban is prepared to release their most ambitious work to date. “Back From Hell” explores themes of internal struggle, resilience, and catharsis, combining the band’s signature crushing riffs and guttural vocals with atmospheric melodies and modern production.
