Gravity is the tenth studio album by German metalcore band Caliban, released on 25 March 2016 through Century Media Records. Guitarist Marc Görtz described the album as "as more rough, more heavy then previous albums. I wanted to capture the heaviness of the albums I Am Nemesis and Shadow Hearts for example and still have the big melody from Ghost Empire".[5] A music video was released for the track "Paralyzed".[6]
