It’s almost nine o’ clock on a Friday night on Baker Island, which means there’s still time for a… Friday Freebie! Well, this Friday Freebie has been out since early April and has been making tsunamis across the globe ever since it was released! We’re talking about INTO THE REALM by New York five-piece CASTLE RAT! Out on that fantastic King Volume Records, it’s that proto heaviness, but delivered with such flair and an occult inspired wildness for lust, blood, death and decay, the CASTLE RAT class surrounding every tone and every vocal line. This is one rat I’d love to get bitten by!
Scott Spiers (CleanAndSoberStoner) wrote: “With a stunning album of kick-ass songs, a band of formidable musicians, a stage act for the ages, and the most charismatic lead singer this decade, this is now Castle Rat’s World. We just live in it. Time will tell if this is the classic I believe it is, and the follow-up will be more than just anticipated. The pressure will be enormous. But for now, Castle Rat simply rules the day.”
Frazer Jones (Desert Psychlist) said: “Superb vocals twinned with crunchy grooves that though inspired by Sabbath lean towards a more occult rock sound. BTW the bass on “Feed The Dream” is insane!” And much more on Desert Psychlist. Read it HERE!
Their own words: “The highly anticapated debut record from the New York fantasy doom rockers, is finally here! INTO THE REALM
True to the band’s ethos, Into the Realm was recorded in an abandoned Philadelphia church the band temporarily converted into a studio. Among the flooded floors, decaying plaster, and ornate stained glass windows, the band stacked their Orange amps and tracked over two and half days, with engineering and production assistance from Davis Shubs and Thomas Johnsen.
