Untitled

I Am Nemesis is the 8th full-length album by the German metalcore band Caliban, which was released on February 3, 2012 on Century Media.

Two guest vocalists were confirmed: Marcus Bischoff of Heaven Shall Burn and Mitch Lucker of Suicide Silence.

Marc Görtz (Guitarist) on the album: "It was important to us to have an elaborate album without any fillers," says lead guitarist Marc Görtz. "Additionally, the sound of the album is the best we've ever had by far: it is heavy and brutal without being chaotic."

Lyrically, "I Am Nemesis" is a continuation of the band's last record, "Say Hello to Tragedy", and focuses on controversial and often overlooked world issues". Musically, Görtz says, "The album breaks new soil without forgetting our roots. There are new influences such as shimmering guitar melodies and technical grooves with Meshuggah-like heaviness."[1]

The first track off the album "Memorial" premiered on December 19, as a music video on the website Metal Hammer Germany.[1]

The second song "Dein R3.ich" was released on January 6, 2012.

The album entered the German Media Control chart at No. 21.
