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.

Famous quotes containing the words cauldron, god and/or metal:
“Our movement took a grip on cowardly Marxism and from it extracted the meaning of socialism. It also took from the cowardly middle-class parties their nationalism. Throwing both into the cauldron of our way of life there emerged, as clear as a crystal, the synthesis—German National Socialism.”
—Hermann Goering (1893–1946)
“No being exists or can exist which is not related to space in some way. God is everywhere, created minds are somewhere, and body is in the space that it occupies; and whatever is neither everywhere nor anywhere does not exist. And hence it follows that space is an effect arising from the first existence of being, because when any being is postulated, space is postulated.”
—Isaac Newton (1642–1727)
“There were metal detectors on the staff-room doors and Hernandez usually had a drawer full of push-daggers, nunchuks, stun-guns, knucks, boot-knives, and whatever else the detectors had picked up. Like Friday morning at a South Miami high school.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
