Casket formed back
in 1990 and have stayed active through demos, full lengths and live shows that
built their name deep inside the European underground. Early tapes like “Ne
Vollkanne” and “Endtime” placed them firmly among serious death metal devotees
of the 90s. Albums such as “Under The Surface” and later “Upright Decay” showed
a band that survived changes in lineup and time without softening their core
identity. Over more than three decades, Casket remained
a working band, touring constantly, playing clubs and festivals, and keeping a
raw approach that gained respect rather than hype.
“In The Long
Run We Are All Dead” arrives as the next chapter in that long history. Eleven
tracks and forty four minutes place the album right in classic death metal
territory. The songwriting focuses on aggression, blunt force and steady
pacing, avoiding distractions and unnecessary decoration. The production sounds
rough and grounded, giving the material an old school character that matches
the band’s background and experience.
Lyrically
and musically, the album keeps a grim worldview that fits the title well.
Themes of decay, control and destruction appear across the tracklist,
reinforcing the album’s bleak tone. The band sound settled into their identity,
delivering material that reflects years of experience without drifting away
from their foundations.
"In The
Long Run We Are All Dead" fits comfortably within Casket’s
discography and speaks mainly to listeners who value honest, raw death metal
over trends. It is not a dramatic shift, nor a nostalgic exercise, it is a
continuation of what this band has done for decades.
Score: 7.5
