Background information about 'Carrie Chains'

From an overgrown fortress high above the black cliffs, the spellcasters of doom return with "Carrie Chains", their seventh album and second for Hammerheart Records. And let me tell you, this one hits like a sledgehammer wrapped in velvet. Raw, epic riff-heavy Doom abounds here, but what really sets Castle apart is how ridiculously catchy it all is. Eight taut spellbinders take you on a journey through a maze of evil doers, spears of burning gold and crosses nailed to walls, where only a murky lamp lights the path. These hooks won't leave you alone, from the grave right to your door.

"Carrie Chains" shows Castle at new heights, twisting 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 70's and 80's riff-heavy maestros like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Mercyful Fate while keeping a stripped-down attack sound, the band converged on RainCity Recorders in Vancouver with producer Jesse Gander to lay down these epic anthems. Written alongside their all-covers EP "Double Vision" and after more than a year of touring behind "Evil Remains", inspiration came fast and furious. For the first time, Castle recorded live in the studio, with drummer Mike Cotton delivering thunderous precision that harkens back to 80's era Sabbath. This limited edition comes in an old-school longbox and throws in a second CD of cover songs previously only available on vinyl. A must for any true doom collector.
