Sorcerer's Symphony - Caster

The good: All of these tracks are genuinely heat. 2024 proved to be a big year for Caster, and he kicked it off with his "Sorcerer's Symphony" EP on Monstercat, a 5 track project that showcases his maturation as a producer as one of the more cleanly produced projects he's released. Rooted in brostep but unafraid to explore beyond genre boundaries, "Sorcerer's Symphony" is a quality bass project by any metric, and it still holds that typical dark twinge Caster has built his branding on.

The bad: Where "Sorcerer's Symphony" falls flat compared to some of Caster's other projects is its cohesiveness. Caster sacrifices some of his renowned narrative skills in lieu of having some simply well-produced tunes with a mood consistency from the choral sampling, and whilst I do appreciate that, I also find myself a bit disappointed in the lack of narrative here — although, admittedly, perhaps I set my expectations a little high.
