Following 2023’s Reflections, Caskets will drop their new record The Only Heaven You’ll Know in November: “It’s me trying to make sense of the chaos around me, and find a way through to the other side…”
Caskets have just announced their upcoming third album, The Only Heaven You’ll Know.
The follow-up to 2023’s 4/5-rated Reflections will land on November 7 via SharpTone, with frontman Matt Flood sharing very honestly that the whole thing is “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.”
The band are marking the announcement with the release of The Only Heaven You’ll Know’s title-track, which Matt explains is “a confession I didn’t know I needed to make if I’m going to be brutally honest. I find it hard to let myself be me – out of pure anxiety, fear of rejection, the ever-growing weight of being misunderstood.
“This song is a raw and relentless look at my own identity, and that constant push and pull of wanting to be and desperately wanting to hide. It’s about my grief – not grief for someone else, or a relationship but for the parts of myself I feel I’ve lost over time. All the walls I thought I had to build just to survive, I’m finally trying to let them fall so I can try and find peace in what’s left. It’s painful but it’s honest. This song is the moment I stopped running from my truth and faced it head-on.”
