Castle Cover Alice Cooper for New Single; Lyric Video Now Playing
San Francisco/Toronto doom rockers Castle have a new single coming via Ván Records ahead of their third full-length. The band have a lyric video for the lead track, “Second Coming,” an Alice Cooper cover originally appearing on 1971’s Love it to Death paired with “The Ballad of Dwight Fry.” Castle are also set to tour in Europe next month, playing with Conan and The Graviators as well as putting in an appearance at Desertfest in Berlin. Their second record, Blacklands, came out on Prosthetic in 2011, and the new one is expected in spring.
My brain is pretty fried, but it’s a cool cover and the video design follows suit, so have at you:
