Castle Release Double Vision Covers EP; New Album to Be Recorded
A follow-up for 2024’s Evil Remains (review here) is an enticing prospect from nomadic heavy metallers Castle, but we’re not there yet. In the meantime, the band have put out the covers EP Double Vision, which finds them taking on songs from KISS, Danzig, Judas Priest, Foreigner for the title-track, and others. It’s a suitably ‘done their homework’ selection that’s apparently been in the works for some time, and they have a video up now for “Double Vision” that, well, it’s Castle kicking ass in the studio run through some effects, so you get the idea. This should tide them over until they hit the studio for their next album-proper, and “Double Vision” sounds rad. Can’t ask for anything more than that.
From the PR wire:
CASTLE Release The All-Covers E.P. ‘Double Vision’; Confirm Recording Dates For New Studio Album.

CASTLE have also announced they’ll be entering the studio early in 2026 to record the follow up to their most recent album ‘Evil Remains’. The as-yet untitled album is slated for worldwide release on Hammerheart Records later in the new year. The band states;
“We’ve had a list of 20 or so songs dating back to the beginning of band in 2009 that we always talked about reworking in some way… well here’s 8 of them! Hopefully we brought something new or brought something out in the songs that sounds new to your ears. We had a blast working these up as we get ready to record the new Castle record in a couple months. In the meantime enjoy our take on these 8 awesome tracks.”
