For Caskets, it could have been easy to plough forwards regardless, riding the wave of success from their breakthrough debut ‘Lost Souls’ that opened tours up across the United States and mainland Europe, and secured appearances at landmark festivals Download and Slam Dunk. But having swapped the bedrooms that fostered album number one for countless hours on the road, reflecting on that journey and the decisions that led them down certain paths quickly became unavoidable. Now tackling the realities of a busy band schedule, spending the best part of two years in shared tour buses and hotel rooms, those reflections have become collective. If ‘Lost Souls’ was primarily driven by vocalist Matt Flood’s personal experiences, sophomore album ‘Reflections’ delivers a wider picture of Caskets as a whole, borne out of the usual interpersonal differences that all bands face at least once in their career. For some it marks the end, but for others it fosters a collaborative environment that pushes the music well beyond what has come before. “Difficult stuff happening made our relationship stronger because we’re now not afraid to voice our opinion and we know it will be respected,” Matt notes, fittingly looking back on the moments that began to shape Casket’s hugely dynamic second record. The result reflects each individual member of Caskets, with Matt joined by guitarists Benji Wilson and Craig Robinson, bassist Chris Mcintosh, and drummer James Lazenby. “When your drummer is bringing you full demos with lyrics, that’s a strong foundation for me to work off” Matt smiles, recalling the moment James – alongside the others – arrived with a near-complete demo track for the record. “We all know each other a lot better than we did before; we know each other’s likes, dislikes, how to wind each other up and chill each other out. That ease we all have with each other is and was a massive help when it comes to the song writing process.” That process has seen the tracks expanded, rehashed, and finely tuned, often beginning life in a very experimental format before being effortlessly moulded into Caskets’ distinctive yet expansive sound. The record’s more upbeat moments carry impactful melodies, upping the ante from ‘Lost Souls’ with considered force, while the powerful ambient moments play out with real finesse. “We built a platform to rip it apart and put it back together so it’s the same but better,” Matt enthuses. “We never have a full idea of what’s going to happen, but I like the spontaneity of writing music. It’s what keeps me wanting to do it.” A series of individual lessons, each track on the Dan Weller (Holding Absence, Bury Tomorrow) produced ‘Reflections’ looks back at a specific moment in one of the band member’s lives; a thought, feeling or events, and how that moment shaped the present. It’s a step away from the singular retellings of ‘Lost Soul’, and a concept that emerged as Matt reassessed his position in and commitment to the band. “I could never sit down with a counsellor,” he admits, “it’s a lot easier for me to write it all down on paper. So, I pushed that to the boys and it kind of went from there.” The subsequent reflections take very different shapes. The thunderous ‘Guiding Light’ tells of the struggle in finding personal strength in the face of a broken relationship; the haunting ‘Silhouettes’ lands on the immeasurable power of self-worth and how we should never change ourselves for others, while album closer ‘Better Way Out’ spawns from the process of saving a loved one from suicide. “You can be who you want to be,” the song rings out with a soaring orchestral catharsis that surpasses all of Casket’s contemporaries. The breadth and density of the subject matter is pulled together by the record’s concept, ultimately forming the beating heart of the record. “’Reflections’ shows how much more we can get out of the band musically if we all put our heads together a bit more,” Matt beams, positive about a record that not only showcases Caskets as a full entity but represents the impressive range of influences that have soundtracked the five piece’s times on the road and in the studio, helping to rapidly expand their sound. “It’s always about the music, that’s the whole point of being in a band,” he concludes. “If we can fit as much into our sound but it still sounds like us, that’s my lifelong goal with Caskets.” Artist Caskets Genre Metal / Classic Rock Label SharpTone Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl , 1LP Coloured Vinyl Exclusive Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Believe More Than Misery In The Silence Too Late By The Sound Six Feet Down Silhouettes Guiding Light Hate Me Better Way Out Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Caskets and more from Metal / Classic Rock View Product Quick View Caskets Lost Souls Metal / Classic Rock | SharpTone | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 18th March 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Caskets Lost Souls £23.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: SharpTone SKU: 4065629602741 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 18th March 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders 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 Mastodon Call Of The Mastodon Metal / Classic Rock | Relapse | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 13th March 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mastodon Call Of The Mastodon £17.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Relapse SKU: RR65151 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 13th March 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Alice Cooper Alice Cooper Goes To Hell Metal / Classic Rock | Rhino | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 19th October 2018 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Alice Cooper Alice Cooper Goes To Hell £18.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Rhino SKU: 0603497858859 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 19th October 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Motorhead We Are Motorhead Metal / Classic Rock | Steamhammer | 1LP Released 3rd March 2017 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Motorhead We Are Motorhead £17.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Steamhammer SKU: 21821 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Electric Wizard Wizard Bloody Wizard Metal / Classic Rock | Spinefarm Records | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 10th November 2017 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Electric Wizard Wizard Bloody Wizard £28.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Spinefarm Records SKU: SPINE754236 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 10th November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Celeste Assassine(s) Metal / Classic Rock | Nuclear Blast | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 28th January 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Celeste Assassine(s) £23.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Nuclear Blast SKU: 4065629622312 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 28th January 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Blackberry Smoke Be Right Here Metal / Classic Rock | 3 Legged Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 16th February 2024 £20.00 Select options Blackberry Smoke Be Right Here £20.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: 3 Legged Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 16th February 2024 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Napalm Death Live Corruption Metal / Classic Rock | Earache | 180g, 2LP Released 20th November 2015 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Napalm Death Live Corruption £14.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Earache SKU: 5055006506723 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 20th November 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bullet For My Valentine Bullet For My Valentine Metal / Classic Rock | Search & Destroy / Spinefarm | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 5th November 2021 £23.00 -
