CASTLE RAT Debut Spellbinding First Single, 'WIZARD,' From New Album!

Mystical masters of heavy metal CASTLE RAT recently announced their latest epic The Bestiary will be unleashed on September 19th via King Volume Records (US) and Blues Funeral Recordings (UK/Europe). 

Today, the otherworldly outliers introduce fans to the protagonist in their forthcoming saga, the Wizard. Available for streaming now, and accompanied by an enchanting video revealed at Decibel, "WIZARD" sets an ominous and heavy tone for one of metal's most bewitching odysseys. 

Regarding the new single, Charley Ruddell (Plague Doctor) states: 

“Musically, ‘WIZARD’ was a big step in a new direction for us as a band. We found ourselves collaborating more closely with each other and piecing together ideas more intricately than on previous songs. We channeled the new wave of british heavy metal; the galloping drum break and harmonized guitar leads were largely inspired by Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. Franco’s solo at the end - which was recorded in one take - was inspired by ‘Electric Eye.’”
