Lost Souls Caskets SKU: 4065629602741 Barcode: 4065629602741 23.00 £23.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: SharpTone Released Date: 18th March 2022 Buying Format: 1LP Coloured Vinyl Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Raised on an unusual blend of Evil Presley, Simon & Garfunkel, Guns N Roses and Cannibal Corpse, it was Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington that first ignited the spark in Caskets vocalist Matt Flood. “It was his power and range,” he notes of the vocal powerhouse. “It was so impressive, and something I’d never heard before from a male vocalist. It was that which drew me in, it’s what got me into music.” The parallels are clear. Caskets’ sound builds around Matt’s dynamic vocals, honed through a range of previous musical endeavours, and perfectly complimenting the band’s mastery of heavy and soft. But it’s their forward-thinking attitude that better aligns both bands, Matt’s vocal hero paving a new path for melody and metal, and Caskets now set to further reinvent expectations of metalcore and post-hardcore. Teaming up with producer Dan Weller, the man behind works by Holding Absence, Dream State, Enter Shikari and Bury Tomorrow among others, Caskets harness this environment to capture a mix of crisp atmospherics and raw emotion; perfectly mirroring its unusual creation. The album retains the immediacy of their acclaimed ‘Ghost Like You’ EP, but sees the band secure its impact in places other than heavy riffs and crushing guitars. The mellower moments, underpinned by strings and pianos, allow space for emotion. “There’s stuff you don’t expect to happen,” Matt adds. “I’m really excited for people to hear it and be like, I didn’t see that coming. That’s what I want.” In stepping forward from ‘Ghost Like You’, Caskets have allowed themselves even more room for their atmospheric sound. “The music was written in mind for screaming,” Matt reveals, “but we decided we didn’t want to go down that avenue. There’s more soaring energy rises and heavy, chunky low-tuned guitars. There are a lot of nice silky verses and atmospheric choruses.” Explorations of loss, fear, volatility and abuse unfold through far reaching melodies set against often thunderous drums and gritty riffs. “We pulled it back a lot on the first EP,” Matt says of the album’s more emotive moments, “but the music has so many different elements to it now, it’s easier to write those sorts of emotions. I want people to take their own personal experience away from every song, but I want that experience to be different for each song too.” Underneath the wide swathe of powerful instrumentation provided by fellow band members Craig and Benji (guitar), Chris (bass), and James (drums) lies Matt’s truth. The common lyrical thread that pulls Caskets’ music together is this unfiltered openness. “It’s my baby,” he notes with genuine sincerity. “I can relate to every song, but not that it’s how it has to translate to the listener. I just want them to know that it’s a personal issue.” He places emphasis on vulnerability above all else. It’s about showing the world it’s OK to be honest about yourself. The music’s message comes to a head on the album’s rousing midpoint, ‘Hopes & Dreams’, a track that began life four years prior as an acoustic number before being given the full band treatment. Dominated by a mesmerising mix of strings and guitars, it injects a moment of hope in Matt’s darker moments. “Hope’s just a ladder and you can make it to the top,” he sings, “just believe in your ability, let your head believe you heart.” This personable energy bleeds into their music, and the eleven tracks that form ‘Lost Souls’. It also pinpoints a significant milestone in both Matt’s musical and personal journey. “Having been a 14-year-old kid learning to play guitar, dreaming of doing what’s actually happening now, and having the ups and down’s I have had, I’m living proof that everyone is capable of doing what they love. The rewards massively outweigh the bad times and the shit that you go through. It’s an incredible feeling, and one that I’m very grateful for.” Artist Caskets Genre Metal / Classic Rock Label SharpTone Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings The Only Ones Glass Heart Hold Me Now Lost in Echoes Clarity Hopes & Dreams Drowned in Emotion Lose Myself The Final Say One More Time Nothing To Hide Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Caskets and more from Metal / Classic Rock View Product Quick View Caskets Reflections Metal / Classic Rock | SharpTone | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 11th August 2023 £28.00 - £30.00 Select options Caskets Reflections £28.00 - £30.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: SharpTone Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 11th August 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Caskets Lost Souls Metal / Classic Rock | SharpTone | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 13th August 2021 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Caskets Lost Souls £23.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: SharpTone SKU: 4065629602710 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 13th August 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Skid Row Skid Row Metal / Classic Rock | BMG | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 8th September 2023 £22.00 - £25.00 Select options Skid Row Skid Row £22.00 - £25.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: BMG Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 8th September 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Brother Firetribe Sunbound Metal / Classic Rock | Spinefarm Records | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 24th March 2017 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Brother Firetribe Sunbound £25.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Spinefarm Records SKU: SPINE739453 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 24th March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Iron Maiden Somewhere Back In Time Metal / Classic Rock | EMI | 2LP, Picture Disc Released 12th May 2008 £39.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Iron Maiden Somewhere Back In Time £39.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: EMI SKU: 2147071 Formats: 2LP, Picture Disc Released Date: 12th May 2008 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Babymetal The Other One Metal / Classic Rock | Cooking Vinyl | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th March 2023 £22.00 Select options Babymetal The Other One £22.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Cooking Vinyl Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th March 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Don Airey Live In Hamburg Metal / Classic Rock | Earmusic | 3LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 4th November 2022 £41.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Don Airey Live In Hamburg £41.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Earmusic SKU: 0216815EMU Formats: 3LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 4th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nazareth Loud & Proud! – Anthology Box Set Metal / Classic Rock | Union Square Music | Box Set Released 28th September 2018 £125.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nazareth Loud & Proud! – Anthology Box Set £125.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Union Square Music SKU: 4050538343427 Formats: Box Set Released Date: 28th September 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Scorpions Love Drive Metal / Classic Rock | BMG Rights Management | 1LP, Includes CD Released 13th July 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Scorpions Love Drive £20.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: BMG Rights Management SKU: 4050538150155 Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 13th July 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ian Gillan Band Clear Air Turbulence Metal / Classic Rock | The Store for Music | 1LP Released 29th April 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ian Gillan Band Clear Air Turbulence £16.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: The Store for Music SKU: SFMVC1221 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th April 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Blood Ceremony Lord Of Misrule Metal / Classic Rock | Rise Above | 180g, 1LP Released 25th March 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Blood Ceremony Lord Of Misrule £16.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Rise Above SKU: RISELP197 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 25th March 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Iron Maiden Infinite Dreams – Live Metal / Classic Rock | Parlophone | 7", Single Released 24th November 2014 £7.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Iron Maiden Infinite Dreams – Live £7.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Parlophone SKU: 2564624838 Formats: 7", Single Released Date: 24th November 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Metal / Classic Rock Start again
