🎧 Album Review: Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything
Artist: DJ the Raccoon
Rating: 9.2/10
Published by: Arcane Resonance Monthly

There are albums that sound like spells, and then there are albums that are spells. Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything, the latest concept record from DJ the Raccoon, is both. A sprawling 12-track gothic death metal opus, it draws equally from Evanescence, Lacuna Coil, Arch Enemy, and a Dungeons & Dragons campaign gone terribly (or gloriously) wrong.

Where previous work leaned into tongue-in-cheek homage (Analog Tide Dreams), Cauldron is a straight-faced ritual of riffs and lore. This is less parody and more prophecy.

Opening track “Tasha’s Laughter (Hideous & Hollow)” sets the stage with eerie cleans, orchestral drama, and growls that hit like psychic damage. From there the record spins into the sinister gallop of “Subclass of Shadows” and the symphonic grandeur of “Cauldron of Secrets.” By the time you reach “Oathbreaker’s Dirge,” complete with a shred solo that sounds like a paladin’s soul collapsing in real time, you realize this isn’t just an album — it’s a campaign setting in 4/4 time.

The mid-album run is where Cauldron shines brightest. “Summon the Fey” is enchanting chaos, tricking listeners into headbanging against their will, while “Arcane Bloodline” serves as the album’s radio single — a tragic, soaring anthem that will live on playlists long after the dice stop rolling. Then comes “Prison of the Demonomicon,” which might be the heaviest track DJ has ever written: an apocalyptic shred-fest with choirs that feel like they’re trying to claw their way out of the Nine Hells.

If Prison is the final boss fight, then Wish Upon the Weave is the epilogue we didn’t deserve but desperately needed: a tragic ballad about ultimate power and ultimate cost. And just when the pacing risks collapse, Wild Magic Storm arrives — a prog-death odyssey in the vein of Opeth that stretches beyond 8 minutes and still feels too short.

The final stretch brings surprises: Patron’s Chains slows things to a stoner-doom crawl, fuzzed out and filthy, before Mirror of the Archfey casts an eerie calm. And then, at last, “Everything Burns (The Final Dice Roll)” — a cinematic closer that brings the whole record crashing down in fire and ash.

If there’s a flaw, it’s that Cauldron might intimidate casual listeners with its sheer scope and lore density. But for those willing to roll initiative, it’s one of the most immersive and ambitious metal records of the year.

🦝 TL;DR:
Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything is gothic death metal as campaign module: brutal, theatrical, and spellbound. It’s a record you don’t just listen to — you play through.

Tasha's Cauldron of Everything

Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything

In the dim glow of candlelight, Tasha’s forbidden laughter echoes through dungeon halls.
Spells warp, oaths shatter, Fey tricksters dance, and the Weave itself burns. Each track is a
spell ripped from her Cauldron, each riff a dice roll against fate. This album isn’t just music —
it’s a campaign. Every song is an encounter, a saving throw, or a boss fight. By the final dice
roll, all that remains is ash and legend.

[Intro – clean, atmospheric, whispered vox]
Silent sky, the storm asleep,
Arcane whispers, secrets deep.
Fates unravel, dice are cast,
Chaos born to never last.

[Verse 1 – growls, fast chaotic riffing]
SPELLS ERUPT, THE CHAOS BURNS,
FIRE TURNS TO ICE, THEN TURNS.
LIGHTNING STRIKES, REALITY BENDS,
MAGIC SURGES, CHAOS WENDS!

[Chorus I – soaring cleans + layered growls]
Wild magic storm, tearing the sky,
Unleashed power, reason denied.
Spirals of chaos, weaving the norm,
Caught in the tempest — the wild magic storm!

[Bridge I – shreddy solo #1]

[Verse 2 – growls, faster + orchestral backing]
RANDOM FATE, A TABLE SPINS,
EVERY CASTING TWISTS WITHIN.
SHADOWS BURN, THE SUN IS COLD,
WILD MAGIC — CHAOS TOLD!

[Chorus II – repeat, bigger, more dramatic]
Wild magic storm, tearing the sky,
Unleashed power, reason denied.
Spirals of chaos, weaving the norm,
Caught in the tempest — the wild magic storm!

[Middle Passage – clean/acoustic interlude, eerie calm]
(Soft acoustic guitars, strings, whispered female vox.)
Whispers fade, the storm is still,
But silence bends to chaos’ will.
Trickster hands, the fates are torn,
From calmest seas, the storm is born.

[Bridge II – shreddy solo #2, extended epic]
(Long, neoclassical arpeggio solo — sweeping up and down for ~90 seconds, backed by strings and choir. Builds from melodic to full chaos.)

[Breakdown – brutal, slow, crushing riff]
CHAOS RISES! — BOUND NO MORE!
REALITY BREAKS! — ARCANE WAR!
FATES UNRAVEL! — DEMONS SWARM!
ALL IS LOST — TO THE WILD MAGIC STORM!

[Final Chorus – soaring cleans + growls, choirs full power]
Wild magic storm, tearing the sky,
Unleashed power, reason denied.
Spirals of chaos, weaving the norm,
All consumed in the wild magic storm!

[Outro – fading clean whispers + soft acoustic chord]
Storm has passed… but not the scars…

[Intro – slow, doom riff, whispered vox]
Chains that bind, the pact is signed,
Your soul for power, fate aligned.
A patron’s gaze, a shadow’s hand,
A bargain struck in cursed land.

[Verse 1 – growls, slow and crushing]
BOUND IN CHAINS, THE DEAL IS MADE,
SOUL IS CURSED, YOUR LIGHT DECAYS.
POWER FLOWS, BUT FREEDOM DIES,
EVERY SPELL A SERVANT’S LIES!

[Chorus – soaring cleans with sludge riff beneath]
Patron’s chains, my soul confined,
Eternal pact, forever mine.
Power bought, the cost remains,
Bound forever in patron’s chains.

EVERY MASTER CLAIMS THEIR DUE,
YOUR WILL IS GONE, YOUR FLESH IS THROUGH!

Patron’s chains, my soul confined,
Eternal pact, forever mine.
Power bought, the cost remains,
Bound forever in patron’s chains.

[Bridge – long, fuzzy stoner metal riff + solo]
(Guitar solo: slow, bluesy bends evolving into fuzzy shred; drenched in fuzz/distortion, hypnotic groove. Choirs hum low beneath like chanting.)

[Breakdown – crushing doom growls, half-time riff]
CHAINS WILL BIND! — YOU CAN’T ESCAPE!
SOUL ENSLAVED! — YOUR FORM REMADE!
PATRON CALLS! — YOU SERVE THE NAME!
MAGIC THRALL! — IN CHAINS YOU STAY!

Patron’s chains, my soul confined,
Eternal pact, forever mine.
Power bought, the cost remains,

But fate’s a blade you can’t command.

[Pre-Chorus – clean fading into whisper]
Every dream can soon be mine…
But all I touch will bleed in time.

Power unbroken, worlds will deceive,
All is shattered when you wish on the Weave.

FATE IS CURSED—THE WEAVE WILL TEAR!
POWER TAKES—IT DOES NOT CARE!
WISH IS DEATH—DISGUISED IN LIGHT!
HOPE WILL FALL—ETERNAL NIGHT!

Wish upon the Weave, a dying star,
Every miracle scars who you are.

Every whisper speaks her name.
Archfey’s gift, a cursed delight,

EVERYTHING — RETURNS TO FLAME!
NOTHING LASTS — ALL THE SAME!
