Medieval fantasy metal phenomenon Castle Rat return with their captivating album The Bestiary.

A riff-laden compendium of mystical creatures and cautionary tales from a forgotten world, The Bestiary presents thirteen allegorical stories of mythic beasts and the wizard who binds them together, weaving powerful heavy anthems and dark enchantments into a bewitching metal odyssey.

Since forming in 2019, Castle Rat have created an elaborate universe of fantasy lore led by the band’s charismatic front figure "The Rat Queen" (Riley Pinkerton). Alongside "The Count", "The Plague Doctor" and "The All-Seeing Druid", the band wage constant battles against the sinister "Rat Reaperess" on stages across the United States and Europe.

Recorded by Randall Dunn (Sunn O))), Wolves in the Throne Room, Björk) and mixed by Jonathan Nuñez (Torche, Restless Spirit), The Bestiary delivers thirteen spellbinding tracks of mystical carnage and theatrical heavy metal.
