Caskets, formed in 2018 under the name Captives, is a British post-hardcore band from Leeds, England.
The band was founded by bassist Christopher McIntosh, who played rhythm guitar at the time, Benji Wilson (lead guitar) and bassist Lee Horner, who together left their previous project Faultlines to pursue new projects. The band was completed with James Lazenby (drums) and Matthew Flood (vocals). Flood had previously played guitar and sang in the pop punk band Silhouettes. On September 23, 2018, the band released their debut single Ghost Like You via the YouTube channel Dreambound. The EP of the same name was announced for April 2019. Before the release, the band released two more singles, Signs and Find a Way, before the EP was released on their own on April 26, 2019.
Afterwards we went on a European tour with the Australian post-hardcore band Hands Like Houses and another show as the opening act for Bad Omens in Hanover. In the summer, Caskets made several festival appearances, including in Germany and Sweden, and played a few shows as the opening act for the Japanese metalcore band Crystal Lake in Germany. The band toured the UK in September 2019 for a number of concerts with Acres and Parting Gift. There they played a new single called Falling Apart for the first time.
After the tour, founding member Lee Horner left the band for personal reasons. Christopher McIntosh switched from rhythm guitar to bass. Former Glamor of the Kill guitarist Craig Robinson was hired as the new rhythm guitarist. On March 1, 2020, Caskets released the previously only played live single Falling Apart, again via Dreambound. The band was signed by SharpTone Records a short time later. With the announcement of being signed, Caskets announced their new single Glass Heart, which was released on December 4, 2020.
