Castle

Castle sign with Prosthetic Records

Thrash-inspired doom metal trio Castle will release their second album 'Blacklands' on September 11th on their new North American label Prosthetic Records. The album was originally released by Ván Records in April 2012.

The band commented as follows: "We are proud to announce that Castle's dark vision has found a home with Prosthetic Records in North America. They are a label that looms large in metal and are as diverse and committed as we are to ringing original, great music to legions of metal fans everywhere. With their help we look forward to doing just that with 'Blacklands.'"

The album artwork was done by Russian symbolist painter Denis Forkas Kostromitin (Horseback, Wrathprayer, Dead Reptile Shrine). 'Blacklands' which was produced by Billy Anderson (Cathedral, Sleep, Eyehategod, Neurosis) was described by Metal Hammer UK as being "charged with arcane mysticism."
