Yorkshire melodic metallers Caskets have announced their new album, Reflections, out August 11 on SharpTone Records. To mark the announcement, the Leeds quintet has released a new single, More Than Misery, featuring a guest appearance from The Word Alive‘s Telle Smith.
Speaking of the track, frontman Matt Flood says, “‘More Than Misery’ is written around the conflict of being hypnotically entranced by someone or something that in the end, you know will only lead to toxic habits or bad intentions. Everyone has felt this and been in this situation in one way or another throughout their life. It’s about not wanting to be in this situation and feeling the struggle of bearing the weight of pressure it puts on your shoulders — how it can affect every other thing around you, from your mental health to the relationships you build around you.”
“There is light at the end of the tunnel though,” he states. “To even acknowledge the situation and build a foundation of support around you to come face to face with what it is that’s holding you back. If you just take a step into the unknown, you’ll see your life is more than just misery.”
