Dark Castle

Dark Castle: 'Guardian of Fire' vinyl

Floridan doom duo Dark Castle's next vinyl release will be a one-sided LP bearing the 21+ minute song 'Guardian of Fire' track on one side, and a complex etching on the B-side.

The track was initially recorded before the 'Spirited Migration' (their debut album) sessions but was never finalized or released. Recently the band unearthed the track, took it to engineering magician Sanford Parker (Minsk, Nachtmystium, Rwake) to remix and finalize the track, with Parker contributing some moog and effects to the final version as well. The LP will be available sometime in early 2011 through At A Loss Recordings; a final release date and album artwork by vocalist/guitarist Stevie Floyd will be announced/posted shortly.

Dark Castle have basically become a household name for devotees of crushing, cerebral doom and organic slow-motion metal due to their incessant touring across North America and Europe alongside Black Cobra, Zoroaster, Nachtmystium, Black Tusk, The Body, Minsk, Battlefields, Samothrace, Howl and countless more over the past several years. The intoxicating, pentatonic flow of Dark Castle's unique, thunderous attack offers more than the typical "doom act" and their live shows are as visually entertaining as they are sonically devastating.
