I own an album of Caliban's, and I've heard stuff off their split with Heaven shall burn... I'm going to go out on a limb here, and assume this is the first album you've ever heard by them, and that they've become more mainstream. Because, to be honest, the Caliban I know is not a cut and paste band. Yes, the vocals are almost identical to many bands, but I knew them to have what definitely sounded like original material on their previous album, and in the song assassin of love off the mentions split with Heaven Shall Burn, they pretty much blew me away.
So, am I to assume they've totally changed here?
Hmm... i'm not all too sure if they've totally changed because as you assumed correctly, i haven't heard any of their old material. Perhaps i should have rethought my use of the words "carbon cut and paste" but i still stand quite firmly on the fact that they sound verrry much like the standard metalcore bands out there. to answer your question, you'd be the best person to judge if they've totally changed or not. nevertheless, i believe think this is a fairly good album but i prefer heaven shall burn's new release as well as Unearth's.
