Fast-rising Birmingham metalcore quintet CAULDRON are pleased to return with the video for their new single ‘I Forgot You Existed (Seattle 1)’ released on 18th October 2023 via all good streaming services.
Commenting on the track, vocalist Frazer Cassling says: “This song is about underestimating an issue or problem and thinking it’s solved before it actually is, which causes it to resurface later on in worse ways. The clean vocals on this song are some of my favourites on the album, and it was definitely a new challenge trying to write and record a chorus of cleans and make them catchy whilst still Cauldron.”
The band shot the official music video with director Sam Kay who also filmed the videos for the first two singles from the band’s forthcoming album. “It was filmed on the top floor of The Litten Tree building in Coventry which is an old closed down pub,” says drummer Zak Jenkins. “The place was recommended to us by a friend—I believe there are plans to knock the building down, but for now it is being used to host DIY hardcore shows in Coventry as well as an art space.”
The single is the latest track to be taken from the band's hotly-anticipated debut album, Suicide In The City, which will be released on 3rd November 2023 through The Coming Strife Records (UK/EU) and Ephyra Records (US).
The record is now available to pre-order on a number of vinyl variants, along with 3 variants of cassette and collectors edition box sets (which sold out in less than one minute), including a limited edition 7” through both labels.
Recorded at Lower Lane Studios by producer Sam Bloor, the album was mastered by Grant Berry at Fader Mastering (Ithaca, Static Dress, Rolo Tomassi). Examining feelings of anxiety, self-worth, grief and mental health struggles, Suicide In The City is a dark record with a powerful message of hope.
Previous singles ‘Rejection Pact’ and ‘Standing In Awe Of A Monument’ were released earlier this year to a wave of excitement from alternative tastemakers Lambgoat, KNOTFEST, Brooklyn Vegan, Distorted Sound Magazine, Already Heard, Noizze, Bring The Noise and many more.
Following UK support tour dates with Philadelphia metalcore band Kaonashi and appearances at Burn it Down Festival, JCHC Zine Hardcore All Dayer, Castlefest, and Till The Fest, the band will hit the road later this month on a run of UK/EU tour dates, with tickets on sale now (see below for listings).

More info:
Suicide In The City is a concept album based around a group therapy session in Seattle run by the main character of the story, Tristram St. Claire. Interweaving throughout are the stories of characters from the group, making an in-depth tale ladened with the physical and mental struggles of all involved. The concept draws from vocalist Frazer Cassling's experiences and struggles with mental health, portrayed through characters, as he pulled himself through the lowest time of his life.
"The album's concept was conceived during the worst period of my life," states Cassling. "The story is laced with things I needed to write to myself. During this time I was diagnosed with OCD, and this really changed the shape of where the album was going. The lyrics are ultra-personal, whilst being really story-focused."
