Carrie Chains shows Castle at new heights of constructing their trademark serpentine riffs into powerful anthemic hooks while the whiskey throated vocals of powerhouse singer Liz Blackwell fill every spooky nook and cranny to intoxicating effect. Taking influence from the 70s/80s riff-heavy maestros like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Mercyful Fate and keeping a stripped down attack sound, Castle channel that classic heavy-metal DNA into something leaner, meaner, and unmistakably their own.

Castle have also announced a new Japan tour, their first since 2016 and includes a 2 night headline stint at the Tokyo Doom Fest that will feature 2 unique sets. In addition the band have previously announced a US run, scheduled for September and October, 2026. A full list of confirmed dates can be found below.
