Born of The Cauldron & God of Metal (1997-1998)
Before recording began, Schulze was no longer with the band, so it was back to searching for a new singer. They found Danny White, who had quite a range, and unique style as well. The band recorded at MG studios, and many argue that the production on the subsequent album was the best they ever got. The album consisted of eight songs, and was named after the seventh track, Born of the Cauldron. The album yielded such live favorites as “Unholy Sanctuary” and “The Final Incantation/In the Dreaming City”, which fans consider some of the best Cauldron Born songs. It was released in 1997, and the band played several metal festivals in support of the album.
In 1998, Cauldron Born released their Swords, Sorcery, and Science demo along with the aforementioned Beyond the Shade Gates. The cover of the album was humorous, it depicted Howie Bentley atop a dragon holding a sword, with dead bodies in the river below wearing shirts that said “Foo Fighters”, “Pantera”, and “The Offspring”. The compilation was called God of Metal.
