Caskets - Reflections (2023)

Getting straight into ‘Believe’, the literal first thing you hear is vocalist Matt Flood with a melodic intro that then bursts into screams and massive instrumentals. This song straight up lets you know how talented this group is and how rad Matt’s vocals are – as for the chorus – catchy is an understatement. The bass from Chris McIntosh is fantastic across the album, but it’s a real standout in this one. The first tracks on an album are always important, and Caskets have nailed it with ‘Believe’. The lads have explained that this album takes you on a journey and tells the story of the band facing interpersonal issues and how that has ultimately strengthened them. The album intro sets this up well – you’re taken on a journey of sounds, tempos and parts.
