Here’s what Profound Lore founder Chris Bruni had to say about this tragic news:
We are saddened and shocked to hear about the sudden passing of Caleb. A really great and genuine person, and it was awesome working with him on those last two Old Man Gloom albums we released. But undoubtedly Cave In were one of the most groundbreaking and moving bands in all of heavy music of the late ’90s. True artistry and unbridled heavy emotion. Damn did those albums hit me hard.
CECN revealed:
