Spring Update!
First we want to thank everyone for the incredible support for THE THREE TREMORS album and tours. The reaction was incredible and there is a shit ton more to come! As you know CAGE is the backing band and song writing team for that metal death machine and we are already working on the follow up album!
As far as CAGE goes lots of cool stuff in the works! We have rerecorded all the drums and completely remixed the SCIENCE OF ANNIHILATION album and will be doing a special limited release of the album with all new artwork by MARC SASSO! It sounds sooo badass now you are going to love it as none other than SEAN ELG smashed it on the drums. A special pre-order will be available soon for it.
In other news DARKER THAN BLACK will be released on vinyl finally! This double gate fold is really looking nice. It will be an extremely limited run so jump on that before they are gone. They are going to be available later in 2019.
We will be touring Europe later this year in December doing selected dates and a couple of festivals as well.
Annnnd... We are also working on a new album!! Holy shit! So stay close to the American Power Metal Kings as we keep on smashing it!

European Tour!
San Diego long time Heavy Metal die-hards CAGE have announced their Spring, 2017 European tour dates. Celebrating over 25 years of touring and 7 albums, CAGE embarks on their most extensive European tour yet venturing into new Countries for the first time like ISRAEL, CYPRUS, SWEDEN. DENMARK, SPAIN, PORTUGAL and FRANCE.
“We are fired up to be playing for our fans in these new places that we have not reached yet.” Says Guitarist David Garcia. “We have heard the cries for the CAGE for years from these places and now we finally get to play at a time when the band is at its’ peak performance. Our lineup now is just incredible from both the technical and visual performance standpoint. The guys really bring it every night!”
CAGE will perform an extended set each night with songs from all 7 of their award winning albums including their latest concept record ANCIENT EVIL. The band will be rotating songs throughout the tour so each night will be a different and unique show. CAGE will also hold a free meet and greet after every performance as they have done their entire career. “Performing is the most fun part of the whole process but a close second is meeting all the killer metal heads after the show and getting to know new friends or reconnect with our long time ones. We look forward to meeting all of you!” says singer Sean Peck.
CAGE will be supported by Belgium thrashers GUILTY AS CHARGED for most of the tour and LORRAINE CROSS in Spain. CAGE will also be joined on various dates by good friends LONEWOLF, LORD VOLTURE, EMERALD, and HURLEMENT.
Special thanks to TRF Booking agency and ISP Technologies for their support on this glorious endeavor!

“Finally we are getting back to the east coast,” explains Peck. “It has been long over due. I can’t wait to unleash the new material with this new line up which I feel is by far our strongest yet! Power metal freaks mark the date!! It will be great to see all of our friends and fans again out there. The last tour we had on the east coast was mayhem! I expect it to be even crazier this time! We have prepared an extended set infused with speed and screams from beyond the realm of human comprehension!! Metal!!!”

CAGE TO UNLEASH ‘ANCIENT EVIL’ ON THE METAL MASSES
San Diego-based metallists Cage are set to return on October 30th, with the release of their latest metallic tour de force, ‘Ancient Evil,’ which has been prefaced by a lyric video for the killer composition, “The Procedure”
“We really love how creepy the video came out, it’s like a mini movie almost,” explains singer Sean “The Hell Destroyer” Peck. “This song will give people a good idea of what they are in for on this massive, heavy metal, horror story thrill ride!” Rounding out the band are Dave “Conan” Garcia (guitars), Casey “The Sentinel” Trask (guitars), Alex Pickard (bass guitar), and Sean “The Thrash Machine” Elg (drums).
Based on a horror novel written by lead singer Sean Peck, ‘Ancient Evil’ continues the legacy of Cage as a heavy metal innovator. This nearly 80-minute monstrosity has 19 tracks that combine songs and narrated interludes to forge a unique musical journey that rocks!
However, according to Sean, making a concept record work is never an easy task – “With this being our 7th release, we wanted to try our hand at another concept album. We had great success with ‘Hell Destroyer,’ but doing a scary story type of thing and making the songs catchy and memorable while keeping the listener captivated by the content, is a real challenge.”
The story’s main character, Elliot Worthington, is played by none other than ex-Iron Maiden frontman Blaze Bayley. “I did not want to do any of the character voices this time, so we got some really great talent to act out the scenes. Blaze did an incredible job. His acting chops were freaking great, I have to say,” says Peck. “The writing for this record came together effortlessly even though it was a concept record. It is pretty much just blazing fast the whole way through which is just how I like it!”
And soon, metalheads will be able to experience Cage’s latest metal masterpiece.
‘Ancient Evil’ Tracklisting:
1) There Were Others
2) Ancient Evil
3) Behind the Walls of Newgate
4) The Procedure
5) The Appetite
6) Cassandra
7) Blinded By Rage
8) Tell Me Everything
9) The Expedition

CAGE EURO TOUR RECAP
The tour was more successful than we could have hoped as we got to meet old friends and fans and make shitloads of new ones too. It had been far too long since we had blasted the European Continent and our return was triumphant. There are too many people to thank here but our touring mates JAVELIN and SPLIT HEAVEN were both fantastic musicians and people to rock with on the road. We have a new booking agency and would like to thank Frank and Rob from EAM for jumping on board the CAGE bullet train. We must thank Volker Raabe for the incredible slot on the killer BAAAM fest. It was the first year of this fest and it is a perfect setting for a festival like that. I encourage everyone to go next year what a cool venue and a great gathering of metal freaks. Also thanks to Thomas and Jurgen from HEADBANGERS OPEN AIR. We had a great show and smashed that place on Thursday night which we were told was almost at capacity for the first time ever for the opening night. Must have been because we were there!! We have implemented a massive strategy and plan which will see the band in Europe on a crushing scale and frequency. Don't worry USA and South America we have plans for you too! Now back to mixing the record and making the pre order packages. Did you order yours yet because they are almost going to be closed out so get in while you can! HAILZ!!

Cage is proud to announce we are near completion of our seventh studio album entitled ANCIENT EVIL. This magnum opus depicts the events that take place in the mini horror novel written by our own Sean Peck. Heavily influenced by the writing style and set within the terrifying world imagined by H. P. Lovecraft, the release contains 19 tracks of music and character acting. The CAGE sound and song-smithing has been taken to new levels of aggression and melody as we plow through this terrible tale of fantasy and dread, much like KING DIAMOND did with ABIGAIL and THEM. But make no mistake this is 100% CAGE as massive amounts of speed and power are on full display aided by the addition of the new band members. This lineup is the most fearsome yet and you will notice it instantly from the first note! Special guest BLAZE BAYLEY does a fantastic job portraying the main character Elliot Worthington as the listener is transported back to 1869 London, England. The production of the album has been brilliantly mixed and mastered by STU MARSHALL at Frontier Studios in Sydney, Australia. This will likely be the best sounding CAGE record yet! Look for tour and pre order information here!
