No compromises
Metal as a constantly evolving genre
Far from the rules set by the “old school,” the Netherlands-based international act Inner Cabala blends modern metal influences through its own eyes — shaping a distinctive sound from the different backgrounds of its members. Heavy breakdowns find their space between deep, groovy riffs and melancholic, softened melodies; chaos and pain handled in alternation with meditative, thoughtful atmospheres.
