Sounds great! Is "Carmilla" also going to be featured on your myspace page in the future?

[Cauldron_Born]

Rantanplan: Thanks. I may put it up later on but out of respect to HEAVY magazine I am going to at least wait awhile and let their METAL CRUSADE compilation circulate.

A decent song for sure, but honestly I would prefer another CAULDRON BORN album, if that would be possible some day.

There are many bands around who play that kind of heavy, doomish occult metal, but CAULDRON BORN played a much more unique style with that technical, complex and unorthodox power metal.

Sorry to be so direct, but that's just my point of view.

Sgt. Kuntz:

I appreciate your support for Cauldron Born and I appreciate you being honest with me. At some point I may do another Cauldron Born album but right now my main concern is Briton Rites. Back in 2006 when I got the idea to start this project I had no idea anyone was doing this kind of music aside from Reverend Bizarre. Even if I had known that other bands were playing Black Sabbath influenced Doom I would have gone ahead with what I wanted to do. I am not trying to reinvent Heavy Metal with this band. I am only playing music that I enjoy. I disbanded Cauldron Born because it was miserable. I am having fun playing the kind of music I like and working with a great vocalist. I am sorry if this sounds selfish but this is what makes me happy. Thanks for listening.

Thanks for your answer, appreciate it. Good luck with your new band / project anyway, maybe you can give that specific genre some new impulses, who knows?

Still waiting for my mag. Seems like those guys are occupied with the Bang your Head festival, hmmmm

[Cauldron_Born]

rapanzel: I am still waiting on mine as well.
