Info:
Formed back in 1990, CASKET started to torment their instruments with savagery, fury and relentless brutality, but also with an overdose of enthusiasm and nonchalance.
Soon this resulted in two early demo tapes entitled "Ne Vollkanne" (1991) and Demo '93. Their third demo tape "Endtime" (1994) earned CASKET a good reputation within the international underground scene of the mid 90s. The six-track demo tape got raving reviews in the most important European underground magazines and cult fanzines. Followed by the strong five-track demo tape "Meant To Be Dead" (1996) it was finally time for the first full-length of CASKET entitled "Under The Surface" (1998) – the band unleashed their first CD upon mankind.
Ten years after, CASKET where finally back as a three-piece, stronger than ever and with a tremendous comeback release entitled "Upright Decay" (2008). The album has been released as CD by MDD Records and on vinyl through Joe Black Records. The following releases "Undead Soil" (2013) and "Unearthed" (2017) hit a growing European fan base as well as more attention in the media.
The next gravestone in CASKETs history is the "Urn" (2021) EP. This release has been done by Neckbreaker Records and is available on CD, vinyl and all digital platforms. If you read all the reviews that CASKET have gotten during the years, there are comparisons to a number of bands which all don't really have a lot in common, except for the fact that they could be labelled as pioneers of the brutal Death Metal scene. And that's what all those people actually meant: CASKET have this certain feel for raw and basic Death Metal, which sounds honest and true to the bone and doesn't need any cliché.
In the meantime the trio manages to perform live on a regularly basis in DIY manner. In the meantime, the CASKET death machine destroyed over two hundred national as well as European club shows, gigs and underground festivals, with bands like e.g. BRUTAL TRUTH (U.S.), SINISTER (HOL), LENG TCHE (BEL), REQUIEM (CH), SEAR BLISS (HUN), FLESHLESS (CZ), DEW-SCENTED, PUNGENT STENCH, ASPHYX and even SOULFLY to just name a few. Through national as well as international appearances, CASKET was gaining more and more attention in the underground scene. The increased live-presence proves that CASKET is capable of destroying the place after more than 35 years of existence!
Now 2026 it’s time for another full release which will be known by the name of "In The Long Run We Are All Dead" and includes eleven brutal new rollers of uncompromising death metal. Neckbreaker Records is releasing the CD and vinyl versions as well as the corresponding merchandise. A tape version will be available from Slime Inhaler Records and all digital platforms will be served. If you listen to CASKET, you listen to no trends, no hypes, just honest Death Metal the way it was meant to be!
