SEE CASTLE RAT LIVE (NYC, 10/28): Tickets
Today, Brooklyn, NY-based Medieval Fantasy Doom Metal band Castle Rat (est. October 2019) share a brand new single, "Feed The Dream," the first in a series of new tracks set to come out in the next few months.
"Feed The Dream" was recorded in a 150-year-old abandoned church at a secret location in Philadelphia, PA. The single was produced and engineered by Davis M. Shubs (Grave Bathers) with Thomas Johnsen (Thantophobe). The mixing process was entrusted to the wise and wizardly hands of Rafferty Jennings Swink (Evolfo) in Brooklyn, NY, and mastered by JJ Golden of Golden Mastering in Ventura, CA.
As Riley Pinkerton (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) wrote of their newest single: “‘Feed The Dream’ was written in isolation. It’s the longing for the closeness of a creature that does not exist in the physical realm. It’s the act of turning a fantasy over and over in one’s mind until its very existence becomes a lustrous pearl of questions that need not be answered.”
Castle Rat is additionally joining Evolfo, Wine Lips, and Joudy for a Halloween Bash, entitled The Great Rat Summoning, taking place tomorrow night (October 28) at The Sultan Room in NYC. Find tickets and more information HERE.
