CastleRatVEVO

Castle Rat is a Medieval Fantasy Doom Metal band hailing from Brooklyn, NY, and led by Riley Pinkerton — ‘The Rat Queen’ on rhythm guitar and lead vocals. On her mission to expand and defend ‘The Realm’ from those who seek to destroy it, The Rat Queen is joined by Henry Black — ‘The Count’ on lead guitar and backing vocals, Ronnie Lanzilotta — ‘The Plague Doctor’ on bass, and Joshua Strmic — ‘The Druid’ on drums. Together, they face the relentless wrath of their arch nemesis: Death Herself — ‘The Rat Reaperess.'

Since the band’s pre-plague inception in October 2019, Castle Rat has forged a sonic experience and manifested a live performance to satisfy those who crave battle-babes & beasts; swords & sorcery; Stoner & Doom; Frazetta & Sabbath.
