The sikkest, meanest and most vicious heavy metal band in the world.
Here is our first live DVD presentation. We had just played the 2001 Wacken Open Air festival in Germany, a huge gig and basically all of the pressure was off. We were in a bus with the band Exciter, and Dave and I had our wives with us as well. We pulled into Switzerland with very little sleep and still excited from the Wacken gig. We exited the warm bus into the cold rainy day. The lineup was great with bands like Overkill, Immortal, Destruction, W.A.S.P. and others on the bill. Luckily we were scheduled to play the indoor stage which as you could see had great lighting and sound. Both of the girls we brought manned the cameras and we went for it. Everything was rushed and I remember being very relaxed going on. Everything went great and although our set was a little short, we rocked that day! Glad we can finally share it with you, enjoy!

CRUSHER (2007)
NOMAD (2007)
In the heigth of the late 80's metal scene, 2 prominent groups waged a friendly battle for power in San Diego, California's metal hotbed. Sean Peck led the band NOMAD, while Dave Garcia and Mike Giordano played in the band CRUSHER. Here is a compilation of some of the music that was created and later borrowed from, to formulate many of your favorite CAGE classics. NOMAD also had players Eric Horton who played with CAGE from 1993-2001 and Gerry Buczko who still contributes from time to time on new CAGE compositions as well as playing lead guitar in his new band MINDWARP CHAMBER. CRUSHER was fronted by singer/guitar player Shawn Dokken and had San Diego legendary madman Big Vinney playing from time to time. You will definitely hear many CAGE roots here and even some duplicate compositions. The recording quality varies on these different song titles as they were recorded in different studios at different times but we thought you might enjoy them as a link to CAGE's development. Later, after each band split up for various separate reasons, Dave Garcia, Mike Giordano and Eric Horton joined forces with Sean Peck and CAGE was born. Gerry Buckzo sometimes jammed at practices with CAGE but later moved to the Midwest. For the record, NOMAD defeated CRUSHER in the battle of the bands in 1992!
CAGE Tape (2007)
CAGE Lost CD (2007)
Well here it is, the never heard - never before released CAGE
cd finaly seeing the light of day. Some of the tracks you will find familiar and were redone on UNVEILED. Others have never been heard before like the lead track, CASTING COUCH or BRAIN DEAD WOMAN. This cd was recorded in 1996 in San Diego at a place called studio 7. A crazy French guy engineered it, although his name escapes us, the memory of the excitement of recording our first real record does not. Our recording experience was very limited so we called in Robert Gaston to help mix the cd. Robert has helped CAGE throughout the years most recently by providing interlude sound effects and samples on HELL DESTROYER and editing the first CAGE DVD. Also included on this disc is the very first demo tape ever recorded by CAGE. It includes the song CAGE that was never redone again but was a mainstay in early live performances. This 3 song demo was recorded at the home studio of Pauli Jobran, brother of original CAGE drummer, then 18 year old Brian Jobran. After this recording, CAGE continued to write more songs and eventualy decided to shelve this release in favor of a proper recording and more song development. The result was UNVEILED. One of the most requested songs form those days was BRAIN DEAD WOMAN and screams for this song can still be heard from the local San Diego crowd when CAGE plays their home town. We hope you enjoy banging your head to this rare gem of metal rage!
CAGE - Live in Kalamazoo (2007)
This live recording was done in 2003 in Kalamazoo, Michigan at the 1st ever CLASSIC METAL FESTIVAL. This live, unaltered recording has all the hits from UNVEILED and ASTROLOGY with the raw energy of the world famous CAGE live fury. The huge hall really captures the live essence of the performance and it is a show that almost never happened. CAGE had just flown in after taking a red eye flight and had just arrived at the hotel. They were scheduled to play at 10:00 that night when the hotel phone rang. The promoter said if we wanted to play we had to go down there right then as they had run out of funds and the festival was being shut down. We grabbed our stuff, tired and weary, fresh off the plane, and quickly donned our leather gear. We unleashed what you now have here as the first official CAGE live recording release.
CAGE - Hidden Sessions (2007)
Here is a collection of all the bonus tracks, pre-production versions, re-mixes and experimental songs in one collection. We have crammed all of them in for you for maximum value. Also included are individual notes and comments about each song and behind the scenes info on the writing and recording of each. These songs are all of varying quality but the passion and fury remains. Explore the hidden workings of the band and delve into the creative minds and studio hi-jinx as these rare tracks are unleashed to the public for the first time.
