NEWS: Caskets seek closure…

Continuing to share advanced listens ahead of the grand unveiling of their third studio album “The Only Heaven You’ll Know” via SharpTone Records on 7th November, Yorkshire Melodic Metal act Caskets have shared a music video for “Closure“. Described by the band as a continuation of their exploration of the space between melodic vulnerability and explosive catharsis the record will be followed by a tour with American Metalcore act The Word Alive across Europe.

Speaking on the new song, Matt Flood comments: “Closure speaks about the breaking point in a toxic cycle, that moment when you realise the answers you search for will never come. Then having to walk away knowing there will always be this cell of wonder and confusion clouding your mind. This song talks about coming from a place of asking ‘Won’t you stop me at all? I wonder whether we’re both to blame’. Being caught up in lies, deceit, fighting battles you have no actual interest in winning, just yearning for answers, for reason to the madness. I’ve learnt that closure sometimes doesn’t come from the words or actions of others, but from finally saying it’s over, it’s okay, and walking away. The sound of me falling apart in real time. Every song is a confession. About love that rots you from the inside, about pretending you’re okay when you’re drowning, about trying to find peace in a world that makes you feel nothing.‘The Only Heaven You’ll Know’ isn’t about salvation – It’s about surviving the wreckage when it never comes. Grieving the parts of myself I had to bury just to cope, Doing anything I could to block out the noise. This record isn’t a cry for help, it’s me trying to make sense of the chaos around me, and find a way through to the other side. These songs are my scars, proof I made it through, even when I thought I was doomed.”
