An American fusion of doom metal, traditional heavy metal, and stoner rock with a strong influence of fantasy and medieval aesthetics – that’s New York’s Castle Rat, who burst onto the global metal scene like Smaug descending on Erebor. The band performs in costumes inspired by medieval characters, including a queen, a count, a plague doctor, and a druid, turning their shows into living fantasy stories.
Castle Rat released their debut album Into the Realm in 2024, which received widespread acclaim and garnered over a million streams on Spotify. In 2025, they followed up with The Bestiary, further expanding their thematic and sonic universe. The band has established themselves on the scene, performing on international stages and sharing the stage with acts like Monolord, Acid King, and more. In August 2026, they’ll bring their magical show to the Josefov Fortress!
