On the Lam is the third studio album by American sludge metal band Cavity released on 23 October 2001 on the Hydra Head Records label.

[3][1] On the Lam is essentially sludge metal and the band makes extensive use of guitar feedback which was described as a musical theme across the album.

AllMusic's Eduardo Rivadavia went on to say of the album: "they don't so much compose music as harness feedback, their songs are barely cognizant of traditional rock & roll structures and utterly ignorant of commercial aspirations, comprising a gloriously disorganized whole."

He concluded his review with "A dense, difficult work to digest, On the Lam leaves a lasting first impression nonetheless, for lovers of unpredictable, unorthodox, and of course extremely heavy music.

review, Chris Ayers described the album as "more groove-based but no less heavy" while band founder and bassist Daniel Gorostiaga explained in the review that this was the first album where all band members contributed to the writing and composition process saying "It's really the first time we've done that so effectively; basically on albums like Laid Insignificant, I wrote most of the music."
