Caskets

About

Caskets, the Leeds-based post-hardcore quintet, has carved a niche for themselves in the modern rock scene with their emotionally charged soundscapes and raw lyrical vulnerability. Blending melodic hooks with crushing breakdowns, their music is a cathartic fusion of post-hardcore, alternative rock, and metalcore, drawing comparisons to bands like Architects and Holding Absence. Their debut album, *Lost Souls* (2021), catapulted them into the spotlight, showcasing their ability to balance aggression with introspection. Formed in 2018, Caskets quickly gained traction with their debut EP, *Ghost Like You*, which resonated with fans for its relatable themes of loss and resilience. Their breakthrough came with the viral success of singles like "Glass Heart" and "The Only Ones," which cemented their reputation as a band unafraid to wear their hearts on their sleeves. Their live performances, known for their intensity and emotional depth, have further solidified their connection with audiences worldwide. Caskets’ cultural impact lies in their ability to channel personal pain into universal anthems, creating a space for listeners to confront their own struggles. Collaborations with producers like Dan Weller (Enter Shikari) have elevated their sound, while their relentless touring has built a loyal fanbase. Currently, the band is working on new material, teasing a darker, more experimental direction that promises to push their boundaries even further.
