“Storm Below the Mountain,” which was directed by Jaan Slimberg of Pistoltrixx, features lead vocals from guitarist Mat Davis rather than bassist Elizabeth Blackwell, who sings the majority of CASTLE’s songs. Davis comments, “There are many sides to Castle; this is just another one of them.”
“Blacklands”, which was produced by Billy Anderson (Cathedral, Sleep, Eyehategod, Neurosis), has been praised by Outburn for its “catchy” and “memorable” music, while Exclaim! have likewise praised its “irresistible hooks” as well as the album’s “strange, complex atmospheres.” You can download “Blacklands” from iTunes for only $6.
