CASTLE RAT Announces 2025 US Headlining Tour

Epic Doom Metal act CASTLE RAT takes their show on the road this spring as a headliner!

Hot on the heels of a successful Kickstarter campaign for their second full length LP, Epic doom metal act CASTLE RAT is going on their first headling tour of the USA this spring. You’ll want to take advantage of this, so you can find yourself on the CASTLE RAT bandwagon before the rest of the metal world follows. Led by the Rat Queen herself, Riley Pinkerton, Castle Rat has been a rising act on the metal scene since the release of their first album, Into the Realm. Their stage show includes a fantasy oriented performance art presentation, including a duel for the ages between Pinkerton’s Rat Queen and the Rat Reapress (played by Madeline Wright). Everyone is in on the act in CASTLE RAT from the aforementioned Rat Queen to The Count on lead guitar, bassist The Plague Doctor, and The Druid on drums. 

In case you haven’t noticed… The promotional tour poster (and likely new album art?) is a killer homage to the story of the woman warrior Taarna from the classic movie, HEAVY METAL.
