Castle Rat | Live At Reggies 9.10.25 (Full Set)

简介：

Castle Rat is a Medieval Fantasy Doom Metal band from NYC, led by “The Rat Queen,” Riley Pinkerton, on rhythm guitar and lead vocals. On her mission to expand and defend “The Realm” from those who seek to destroy it, The Rat Queen is joined by “The Count” (Franco Vittore) on lead guitar and backing vocals, “The Plague Doctor” (Charley Ruddell) on bass, and “The All-Seeing Druid” (Joshua Strmic) on drums. Together they face the relentless wrath of their archnemesis: Death, Herself — “The Rat Reaperess.” Since their inception in October 2019, Castle Rat has released their debut album, “Into The Realm,” with King Volume Records in April 2024, which has garnered over one million Spotify streams and held the post as the #1 Best-Selling Hard Rock/All Rock Album on Bandcamp upon its release. The band has cultivated a fiercely loyal following by curating a riveting, interactive, lore-laden live performance, complete with a choreographed battle scene, recruiting fans who crave swords & sorcery; stoner & doom; battle-babes & beasts; Frazetta & Sabbath. In 2025, Castle Rat launched a record-breaking Kickstarter to fund their second album, raising $139K in just 37 minutes. The month-long fundraiser became the most successful metal band project in over a decade. Following the campaign, the band entered the studio to record their second album with producer Randall Dunn. After two sold‑out tours in late 2024, the band will headline a US tour in March 2025 and a six‑week stint in Europe, featuring festival appearances at Desertfest, Hellfest, and Copenhell, and performances supporting Conan. The second full‑length album is set to release in August 2025, followed by a two‑month tour across the US and Europe.
