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.
