Caliban are a five-piece metalcore band from Germany. They have released six studio albums to-date, and two split albums with the band Heaven Shall Burn. Although the band's sound is "metalcore", the band has stated that they have come from a hardcore scene and are a hardcore band.
Caliban was formed in Hattingen, Germany in 1997 under the name Never Again". After six months of playing together, the band recorded their first two songs for a demo, which were never released. The songs were sent to several record labels, and Lifeforce Records was the first to offer the band a record deal. The band's first self-titled EP came out in the summer of 1998. To promote it, Caliban played many shows all over Europe and a few support shows for bands including Morning Again, Earth Crisis and Cro-Mags.
