“In the same long grass we would play as children We find dead bees and dry leaves. Let us dine, drunk as our fathers and remember when the tree bore fruit and the sky was blue. The moon rose on our glory days and the meadows turned to desert. These promises are not for the likes of us.”
Constantly evolving since the project's inception in 2004, 2016 sees Caina branching out into even further sonic reaches with Christ Clad in White Phosphorus. On this album the core unit of Andy Curtis-Brignell and Laurence Taylor is augmented by contributions from the members of London's Warren Schoenbright and Dwid Hellion from the legendary Integrity performing as Vermapyre. 2015's Setter of Unseen Snares told the story of the end of the world. A blend of ruthless black metal, cold industrial and terrifying dark-ambient, Christ Clad in White Phosphorus takes you beyond the apocalypse and into the belly of a dystopian hell we already live in.
“The journey winds through blast beats and monastic chanting, death-metal precision and cinematic crescendos...it's gorgeous and daunting, beautiful and unapologetic...” Grayson Haver Currin, Pitchfork Media
