New York's CASTLE RAT have revealed the details of their upcoming sophomore album, The Bestiary, to be released on September 19th by King Volume Records (North America) and Blues Funeral Recordings (UK/Europe). The concept record was by Randall Dunn (Sunn O))), Wolves in the Throne Room, Björk) and mixed by Jonathan Nuñez (Torche, Restless Spirit).
Vocalist “The Rat Queen,” Riley Pinkerton comments, “‘The Bestiary’ is a conceptual book of beasts containing a collection of mystical creatures from a world forgotten. The last remaining souls of each have been gathered and preserved by ‘The Wizard.’ Cautionary tales of each beast and The Wizard himself are woven through the power of traditional heavy metal song and spell.”
