Formed in Toronto in 2017 by vocalist Connor Grant, Trick Casket are known for their thunderous and emotionally charged sound. Drawing inspiration from legendary acts like Ministry, 3Teeth, Nine Inch Nails, Skinny Puppy, Korn, and Suicide Commando, they’ve chiseled their own niche into a genre where many fall.
With their latest single, “Filth” exploring betrayal and self-reflection, the band says this of the song
The song is about a betrayal. Seeing just who someone truly is underneath. But am I talking about someone who did me wrong? Or is it all self-reflection realising you aren’t who you thought you were? You choose. At the heart of Trick Casket’s music lies a compelling narrative, delving into the struggles of depression, anxiety, anger, and frustration. Their lyrics serve as a cathartic release, resonating with listeners who find solace and strength in their powerful melodies.
With their concept revolving around a mission to provide an outlet for self-expression and escapism, Trick Casket brilliantly uses heavy music, horror, and theatre to encourage their audience to let go, enjoy, and find relief from life’s stresses and pains.
Trick Casket has beautifully infused the song with grit and grime, truly making it filthy, furious, and fierce with its sick beats, slick bass, dirty guitars, and vocals that teeter on the edge of growling and yelling. “Filth” is both satiating and hunger inducing.
