Yorkshire melodic rockers Caskets have announced their upcoming album The Only Heaven You’ll Know, set for release 7th November via SharpTone Records, and have released the title track.
Vocalist Matt Flood speaks on the single, “The Only Heaven You’ll Know 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.”
Continuing on the album, “This record 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.”
