internetotaku As soon I heard them, I knew I had to have this album - and I was right. It's an amazing work, hearkening back to earlier days yet new and original. The kind of music we'd jam to in our bedrooms as youth - perfectly matching our aesthetic. New, classic, moody, and evocative. Perfectly marries itself to the audio cassette. Exciting and essential. Favorite track: Cry For Me.

e_eric Discovered Castle Rat this morning via a YouTube link, pre-ordered Into the Realm this afternoon.

I was going to get the cassette as well as the digital album but taxes and shipping make it an unreasonable purchase. Do we know already if any cassettes and merch will make it across the pond to the Old Continent?

Thanks in any case for the power tunes, and like live the Rat Queen!

about

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.

CASTLE RAT IS:

Riley Pinkerton: The Rat Queen, Lead Vocals, Guitar
Franco Vittore: The Count, Lead Guitar
Ronnie Lanzilotta III: The Plague Doctor, Bass
Josh Strmic: The Druid, Drums
Maddy Wrigh: The Rat Reapress, Stage Actress




PLEASE NOTE: The release date for INTO THE REALM is 04/12/24
and all products are mockups. Images will be updated as products arrive.
