Castle Rat, a doom metal band blending medieval themes with 1970s-inspired sound, has announced a fall 2026 North American headlining tour and a supporting run with Unto Others and Wraith Knight. The band's frontman, Riley Pinkerton, has dismissed allegations of being an 'industry plant,' humorously referencing the group's rodent-themed aesthetic. Their music continues to explore mythic narratives, bridging fantasy and reality within a heavy, atmospheric sonic framework.
