For 14 years, Finnish doom trio Caskets Open have written songs rife with strife and dark-souled riffs. Their fourth LP "Concrete Realms of Pain" emerged from the wasteland of a pandemic summer as the band's brooding masterwork. Bonded by a mutual love for this album, Seeing Red Records and Wise Blood Records have brought the songs stateside to celebrate this stunning doom achievement. Their evocative compositions conjure the frailty of the crestfallen ballads of Type O Negative and Danzig. Meanwhile, there's also a simmering snarl of hardcore punk that raises a chalice to Peter Steele's Carnivore. Throughout the years, Caskets Open has warmed up the stage for bands as awesomely diverse as Church of Misery, Wolves in the Throne Room, and Primitive Man.
