Castle Announce New Album Welcome to the Graveyard and US Headlining Tour
Note: I don’t think there’s much Castle do these days without announcing a coast-to-coast tour. Castle go grocery shopping and it turns into a two-week run. Castle go put gas in the van and do 10 dates in California. Whatever it is, the thrash-doom two-piece have a tendency to make a string of gigs out of it. It’s kind of become their thing. So when they announce the July 12 release of their fourth album, Welcome to the Graveyard, through Ván Records, it only makes sense there’d be a corresponding tour to go with it. Because what’s one more?
Castle head out on the first of what will no doubt be several runs to support the Billy Anderson-captured Welcome to the Graveyard in mid-June, which is plenty of time for them to gig their way East to take part in Maryland Doom Fest 2016 in Frederick, MD. Not a doubt in my mind that’ll be a good time.
The PR wire brings details and dates:
CASTLE: Doom-Tinged Metal Unit Reveals Album Details + US Tour Dates Confirmed

Welcome To The Graveyard is set for official unveiling July 12th.
Leading up to the release of Welcome To The Graveyard, CASTLE will embark on an eighteen-date headlining tour from June 15th through July 2nd with an included stop at this year’s edition of the Maryland Doom Fest where the band will be performing alongside The Obsessed, Mos Generator and others.
