Monsters, Madness and Magic review

Daniel from Monsters, Madness and Magic has reviewed the upcoming Caustic Reverie album The Flooded Assembly. Check it out!

“The Flooded Assembly” appeals to me more as a narrative of emotion rather than exposition – almost a mental snapshot of quarantined thought. Each song has a solid point, a theme to convey, but much like a person locked within their own thoughts, subtle shifts in the mind can cause one to lose focus, or to be suddenly overcome with strange emotions seeming unbidden; the human mind becomes accustomed to its confines, about to compartmentalize the isolation, thereby finding the time to briefly reason with other emotions and imagination.
