Castle Rat – The Bestiary

The Bestiary sees Castle Rat expand their medieval fantasy heavy metal universe with a bigger, bolder and more cinematic second album. Led by 'The Rat Queen' Riley Pinkerton, the NYC band blend crushing riffs, doom-laden atmosphere and immersive lore into a record that feels as theatrical as it is heavy.

Following the breakout success of Into The Realm, a record-breaking Kickstarter campaign, and sessions with acclaimed producer Randall Dunn, Castle Rat emerged with one of the most talked-about heavy releases of the year. Packed with mythic imagery, occult energy and festival-tested power, The Bestiary is essential for fans of doom, stoner metal and fantasy-driven hard rock.
