Cave In bassist Caleb Scofield dies

Caleb Scofield dies Caleb Scofield, bassist and vocalist of Massachusetts band Cave In, was killed yesterday, March 28, in a car crash in New Hampshire. Scofield, age 39, died when his truck collided into a Bedford toll plaza at a high rate of speed. "It appears the subject was trying to change lanes right before they entered the toll plaza and didn't make the lane quite clear and crashed into the barrier," said state police Sgt. Bryan Trask. Scofield, also a member of Old Man Gloom, leaves behind a wife and two young children. A fundraising campaign has been launched on their behalf.

R.I.P. glad I saw OMG at least once, damn

anonymous 3/29/2018 2:27:55 PM

shit, tragedy. Drunk? Bummer... they do have those little bumps in the road before the tolls

anonymous 3/29/2018 2:28:07 PM

Yo super uncool to post the actual way it happened. Remove that shit.

anonymous 3/29/2018 2:39:46 PM

It should have been rick ta life ^^^^^ Rick Ta Life doesn't know how to drive. Seriously though, Cave In was one of the rare bands who never released a bad album. R.I.P.

Huge bummer. RIP man.

anonymous 3/29/2018 3:22:55 PM

really sad. Old Man Gloom and Cave In kick ass. Hope the SJW's dont hear about this and try to tarnish his reputation cause he J-walked when he was 15

anonymous 3/29/2018 3:32:27 PM

Sucks but it sounds like he was driving way too fast

anonymous 3/29/2018 3:42:14 PM

Best band. Caleb also did the Zozobra project, really underrated even as far as the stuff he did and this type of music goes. Give that one a listen if you haven't yet.

anonymous 3/29/2018 3:49:23 PM

legend. only wrote bad ass genuine shit. really wonder what was going on before he crashed..

natron808 3/29/2018 4:55:07 PM

Bummed.

anonymous 3/29/2018 6:59:08 PM

Not stoked

anonymous 3/29/2018 8:12:58 PM

Horrible, horrible news. This guy was responsible for making so much of my favorite music of all time. A pivotal figure of metal and hardcore in the past 20 years.

Chi_Stake 3/29/2018 8:45:40 PM

This really sucks. Dude had an amazing voice and every band he was in kicked ass.

anonymous 3/29/2018 9:17:55 PM

lambgoat is soft as fck now and filled with gays.

anonymous 3/29/2018 11:43:32 PM

fck this idiot for bringing up SJW in a pejorative term for no reason on this tragic post. "it's stupid to care about people".

anonymous 3/30/2018 1:58:37 AM

Bummer. This dude went hard in OMG.

anonymous 3/30/2018 4:59:03 AM

We get to laxidasical with vehicles. One second you're here and the next you're not because you were going too fast, weren't wearing a seat belt, had a drink too many, looked at your phone. Make it hime

anonymous 3/30/2018 5:16:20 AM

"Good news, Cave In fans: the band jammed together this past weekend. Monday, December 04, 2017 1:31 PM PT" - Lambgoat I don't think we will be seeing that reunion anytime soon. I was really looking forward to hearing Until your heart stops.

anonymous 3/30/2018 5:32:42 AM

This is terrible news to read. He made music that influenced so many people as listeners and as music writers. My condolences to his family going through such a shocking moment.

anonymous 3/30/2018 5:46:56 AM

This man contributed more to my life through his music than most people I know in person. RIP

anonymous 3/30/2018 5:47:55 AM

"fck this idiot for bringing up SJW in a pejorative term" Found the metalsucks user. Coinidentally, he's feverishly combing through archives specifically to find that jaywalking case to question the band over. Go back to tumblr, fgt

spaceghhost 3/30/2018 6:01:18 AM

Caleb was awesome. Monster voice, killer bass player. Loved OMG, Zozobra and Cave In. Super fcking sad. Listening to OMG all day today.

marching_band_rules 3/30/2018 6:59:21 AM

horrible

spaceghhost 3/30/2018 8:07:53 AM

and fck you pieces of shit for using this moment for your snarky comments. I doubt anyone will give damn when you are dead

anonymous 3/30/2018 8:23:04 AM

I made up that J-Walking thing you retard

anonymous 3/30/2018 8:25:41 AM

and fck you pieces of shit for using this moment for your snarky comments. I doubt anyone will give damn when you are dead ^^^^ I hope know one does care.

anonymous 3/30/2018 8:56:47 AM

:( :(

anonymous 3/30/2018 9:14:26 AM

"and fck you pieces of shit for using this moment for your snarky comments." Found the first time lambgoat visitor. Only posts about death or getting falsely accused of abuse bring out all the n00bs and pussies. If you have feelings, get the fck off this site immediately, you whiny chodes

anonymous 3/30/2018 9:15:55 AM

"I made up that J-Walking thing you retard" And I continued the joke, you mongoloid

anonymous 3/30/2018 2:14:25 PM

Not a bad word to say of this guy as a musician and man. But no different when this kinda thing happens to anyone - it could have easily been prevented and a needless tragedy.

anonymous 3/30/2018 3:34:47 PM

video on WMUR shows one very wrecked truck and interview with a neck tat eyewitness - nice.

anonymous 4/1/2018 8:13:07 PM

comments needlessly deleted all over the place. been on lambgoat for 15 years, but that'll do it for me. rest in pizza goat i'll get my news elsewhere. guess they weren't kidding about dat V1 SHUTDOWN
