“Skulking like wraiths in a blackened landscape, the band charges through eight fairly short songs… that grab you, rough you up, and leave you battered and bruised.” – Metal Bandcamp

CASTLE continues to tour in support of their molten Welcome To The Graveyard full-length, issued last summer via Ván Records. Welcome To The Graveyard was captured by Billy Anderson (Sleep, Neurosis, Brothers Of The Sonic Cloth, Eyehategod, Ommadon et al) at Type Foundry Studios in Portland, Oregon and is currently available at THIS LOCATION.
“…an irrepressible combination of ’70s doom, NWOBHM, musty-yet-in-your-face production courtesy of famed Neurosis/Melvins producer Billy Anderson, and the smoky, whiskey-stained vocals of Liz Blackwell…” – Metal Hammer
“…some of their best songs… If you haven’t caught onto CASTLE yet, you’re not taking a thing about your career as a metal fan seriously… Hear this, feel the power and glory and put on the vest!” – Angry Metal Guy
“Welcome To The Graveyard is a document of their precision songcraft and that elusive ‘this world is horror and life is dark but so am I’ vibe perfected by Danzig and Ghost. And …Graveyard is an emphatic ad for an undoubtedly cool, smoky live show, too. Which is good because they’re definitely playing your town. Crank it up!” – MetalSucks
“…fantastic heavy metal of the most traditional kind, forged, I can only assume, in the fires of hell.” – The Sludgelord
“They’re the kind of band who could make you believe in heavy metal… their righteously individualized blend of thrash, traditional metal, doom, heavy rock ‘n’ roll, etc., speaks to some mystical bygone era when metal was about not compromising, putting a fist in the air against expectation and going on tour forever.” – The Obelisk
“CASTLE‘s most mature, well-crafted, inspiring work…” – Metal Kaoz
“…true-blue classic metal is hard to top. And so is CASTLE.” – Dead Rhetoric
