Cauldron "Chained To The Nite (Russia, Soyuz Music, MOSH367CD)"

Cauldron is a Canadian heavy metal band formed in 2006 in Toronto following the breakup of Goat Horn, with guitarist Brandon Wars leaving to form a new band, Zuku. Cauldron consists of Jason Decay on vocals and bass guitar, Ian Chains on guitar and Myles Deck on drums.

Less than a year after formation, the band released its first EP, Into The Cauldron, with New Iron Age/Iron Kodex Records (Germany), and it was received positively by the metal press, which led to the band touring across Canada. In 2008, the band signed with Earache Records and began to record its first album. Around this time, the original drummer, Al Artillery, left the band to join Relapse Records' Toxic Holocaust, and the position was filled briefly by Steelrider, the original drummer of Goat Horn. He was replaced by Kïll Cheerleadër/Zuku/Crystal Castles drummer, Chris Rites. The band's first album, Chained to the Nite, was released in April 2009 and the band toured the UK with Wolf in support of the album. Cauldron's song "Restless" was used in a DC Shoes video of the professional skateboarder Danny Way.
