Casketgarden was formed back in 1998 by three today's members: Attila Cseh, Péter Musitz, Balázs Tóth. The plan was to make such a same time brutal but melodic music as our favorite artists (At The Gates, Carcass) had done before they split up. The line-up became full in 1999 with a bassist and the today's vocalist István Cseh. With that first line-up we recorded two demos: „An Ever Rounding Circle” in 1999 and the path-finder „...Of Grief” in 2000. These two demos, mainly the second got great reviews in every 'zine where it was sent to. These two demos were released in Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Romania by Rock Express Records, in a special one tape format. The Hungarian version is totally sold out…In 2001 there were some problems in the line-up, then came Gábor Őri, the present bassist in the picture. His ancient metal fanaticism and dirty rock n' roll feeling made Casketgarden complete. With the new line-up we made a really rude continuation of our „career”. In the summer of 2002 „The Non-Existent” was released, the promo-CD we find the label Metal Age with. This stuff got great reviews all over the world, from South America to South Korea and our Hungarian position became stronger, too. We played with bands like Pungent Stench, Dew-Scented, Children Of Bodom, Nightwish, Anthrax as a support band and we gave successful concerts in Serbia, Austria, Switzerland and Italy in 2003.

After this busy year 2003 Casketgarden recorded its first full length album at Studio Denevér and released it under the Slovakian label Metal Age Productions. The music is the same as in the beginning: very brutal death/thrash metal with gloomy, heartbreaking melodies. Forget the true heavy metal twin themes. These grievous melodies are under the influence of old English doom bands as well, to make a darker atmosphere. The influences of Swedish bands present here in the fast rhythms, and twisted riffing strengthening the brutal side of music. The songs like „Widow Mother Earth”, „Song Of Tears”, „Immortality Inc.”, „Human Corrosive Disease” definetly show a new side of the band.
Casketgarden with “This Corroded Soul Of Mine” became one of the pulling bands of Metal Age Productions. In the Hungarian Metal Hammer “TCSOM” reached the 4th position in the monthly soundcheck and CG was voted by the readers/fans among the 10 most talented newcomers of year 2003. The summer of 2004 was full of festivals where CG played in front of 2000-3000 CG fanatics giving one of the most successful gig in the HammerWorld of Sziget Festival. The band played great gigs on some real underground fests in Austria (Deeper Ground Of Metal) and Checz Republic (Open Hell Fest, Brutal Assault) on the Summer 2004-2005.
After the underground success of their first album „This Corroded Soul Of Mine” here is the next step. „Open The Casket, Enter The Garden” (recorded in Studio Denevér, Hungary) shows much more original taste and professionalism in music and sound. It has already been the “Soundcheck” winner (!!!) in the November 2005 issue of HammerWorld Magazine (Hungarian Metal Hammer). Dynamic rhythms, heart-breaking guitar soloing and mashing riffing in 10 songs. 39 minutes of rage and sorrow coming from lies and loneliness, purposeless of existence. The lyrics are not conceptional as last time, but much more individual, and may be closer to everyone who is sensible for the forced burden of today's society.
Brutal, fast, outraging songs like “Open The Casket”, “Spirit Unseen, Body Unknown”, ”To Relive My Carnage”, “Enter The Garden” create the spine of the album, and compositions as „One More Lie”, „Alone As God” introduce you the members of the band as really serious composers, arrangers. Without doubt “Open The Casket, Enter The Garden” with the great cover artwork of Miso Seštak is the most serious work of Casketgarden. Enjoy!
