Brood & Bloom
On October 4, 2019, Kasador released their first full album, entitled Brood & Bloom. The 12-track album was recorded during 2017 and 2018 at Bathouse Recording Studio, during which time the band's composition underwent several changes, with Babcock and Laferrière leaving the band, and new drummer Adubofuor joining. The band also went from five to four members. The album tracks include performances by both Laferrière and Babcock, including a track (Pinched Nerve) where Babcock sings lead vocals. Lead vocals were shared between Will Hunter and Cameron Wyatt. The writing credits for all songs are attributed to "Kasador" rather than to individuals. Production was by Graham Walsh (who also played keyboards on five songs), Rob Baker and Gordon Sinclair; Nyles Spencer also produced three songs, and engineered the album.

The title single was released prior to the album, and reached #27 on the Canadian alternative radio chart and #37 on the Canadian rock radio chart. According to the Kingston Herald, this meant "Kasador [was] the only independent band in the top 40 at the time."

A Journal of Musical Things published an extensive review of the album, saying, "This album has substance. It has weight. And it’s incredible. " The review went on to discuss each track in the album, and stated that the band " is standing firmly on the edge of something massive".
