Castle Rat is a Medieval Fantasy Doom Metal band hailing from Brooklyn, NY, led by Riley Pinkerton — ‘The Rat Queen’ on rhythm guitar and lead vocals. On her mission to expand and defend ‘The Realm’ from those who seek to destroy it, The Rat Queen is joined by Henry Black — ‘The Count’ on lead guitar and backing vocals, Ronnie Lanzilotta — ‘The Plague Doctor’ on bass, and Joshua Strmic — ‘The Druid’ on drums. Together they face the relentless wrath of their arch nemesis: Death Herself — ‘The Rat Reaperess.” 
 Along their journey Castle Rat has played in support of Monolord (SE), Firebreather (SE), Stonefield (AU), & Tower (NYC) with plans to set forth the release of two powerful singles into the natural world, ahead of their debut LP Into The Realm. Since the band’s pre-plague inception in October 2019, Castle Rat has forged an album and curated a live performance to satisfy those who crave swords & sorcery; stoner & doom; battle-babes & beasts; Frazetta & Sabbath.
