Background

Despite being the band's second full-length release, Until Your Heart Stops represents the first time Cave In went into a studio to record a full album together. The album also marks the first time they would play as a four-piece, as it was recorded in the midst of a major line-up change, going through two vocalists and one bassist. [1]

The actual writing of the album took place during the recording sessions of Cave In's previous release, compilation Beyond Hypothermia , which was a collection of Cave In's older songs, which they re-tracked, and in some cases, re-recorded. [1]

Musical style

Until Your Heart Stops has primarily been described as a metalcore album. [4] [5] The album also features influences from other musical genres such as emo, noise rock and space rock. [6]

Deluxe edition

On February 17, 2023, Cave In announced a deluxe edition reissue of Until Your Heart Stops. This edition features a remastered version of the album along with previously unreleased demos and alternative takes. The deluxe edition was released on March 31, 2023 through Relapse Records. [7]
