Fresh off a Canadian run, the occult rock alchemists in CASTLE today return to the road for a twenty-two-date European takeover. The latest stretch of onstage conjurings follows CASTLE’s massive North American trek, which commenced on June 15thand has rolled steadily through the Fall months. The band’s overseas journey includes performances at Old Grave Fest V in Romania and Desertfest Belgium. Upon their return, the band will take a short break to recharge before joining Washington state riff rockers, Mos Generator, for a short West Coast tour. In December the tireless duo will return to the stage, this time in Japan with Guevnna!
CASTLE is pleased to unveil their new video for “Down In The Cauldron Bog.” The hymn comes by way of the band’s Welcome To The Graveyard full-length issued earlier this year via Ván Records. Go HERE.
Elaborates The Obelisk, “With death as the central theme for its imagery, the track offers hooks, shred, groove, and melody all in kind, all in a package of songwriting that most bands would collapse on themselves even trying to replicate. I’m sorry, but after seeing them live this Summer, I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to talk about CASTLE again without thinking of them as being woefully underappreciated and if you don’t believe me, just do yourself a favor and really dig into Welcome To The Graveyard and go catch them when they invariably roll through wherever you live, if not on this tour, then the next one or the one after that. They’ll get there sooner or later, no doubt.”
Adds the band, “It’s fitting that we’re releasing the video for ‘Down In The Cauldron Bog’ as we kick off our European tour since we actually wrote it while we were in Europe last year. It was the first track we wrote for the new album and was really the catalyst that set the mood musically. The haunted melody seemed to come from the landscape and the inspiration for the words were from a book we were reading at the time, The Bog People. That idea mushroomed into a larger concept of death and rebirth that we used throughout the album and also serves as a backdrop to the video.”
