Castle - Carrie Chains [audioCD]

From an overgrown fortress, high above the cliffs of black, the spellcasters of Doom return with Carrie Chains, their seventh album and second release for Hammerheart Records. This is raw, epic riff Heavy/Doom, delivering eight taut spellbinders that take the listener on a journey through mazes of evil doers, spears of burning gold and fire, and crosses nailed to walls.

Key Features/Benefits

• Raw, epic riff Heavy/Doom sound featuring powerhouse singer Liz Blackwell.
• Showcases Castle constructing trademark serpentine riffs into powerful anthemic hooks.
• Recorded live in the studio for the first time, capturing the energy of new songs.
• Takes influence from 70's/80's riff-heavy maestros like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and Mercyful Fate.
• Features thunderous precision from drummer Mike Cotton, harkening back to 80's era Black Sabbath.

Album Context

Inspiration for Carrie Chains came fast and furious following the energy of the new songs written alongside the band's all-covers E.P., Double Vision, and after more than a year of touring behind their last album, Evil Remains. The band recorded with producer Jesse Gander at RainCity Recorders in Vancouver B.C.

Artist Background

Since their 2011 debut In Witch Order, Castle has toured relentlessly, playing over 800 shows on three continents. The live ritual is set to resume this fall with tours of the US and Japan, followed by Europe next spring.
