THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Castle, the high priests of sinister doom, return with their sixth album Evil Remains — a hook-laden, heavy metal thrill-ride into Nosferatu nights.
Back after a six-year break with their black magic fully recharged, Castle have delivered a juggernaut of riffery by mixing doom and psychedelic-tinged classic metal. Adding to the atmosphere of majestic darkness, Elizabeth Blackwell’s haunted, full-blooded vocals present electric witch hymns of death and madness.
Recorded at Raincity Recorders in Vancouver with producer Jesse Gander (Anciients, 3 Inches Of Blood, Brutus) Evil Remains sonically balances the warm and fuzzy with the bombastic power of an alternate-universe stadium-rock band. Written over a five-year period — beginning in Castle’s then-home town of Joshua Tree — Evil Remains delivers a metallic knockout punch from the first to last note of its eight pummeling tracks.
Since storming out of San Francisco with their 2011 debut In Witch Order, Castle have toured relentlessly, playing close to 700 shows on three continents.”
