The story
Castle have premiered a video for “Evil Nun” from their new album Carrie Chains, out now on Hammerheart Records. Brooklyn filmmaker Brian Davis directed it as a tribute to Italian cinema of the 1970s and 80s.
The band describe it as the opening credits of an imagined film called Sorella Malvagia, with nods to Fulci and Pasolini.
Castle have also announced their first proper UK tour, from 26/02/2027 at Helgi’s in London, followed by European dates including Into The Shadows 6.0 Fest in Tilburg and the sold-out Heavy Metal Thunder Fest in Písek, ending in Dresden on 27/03/2027. They return to Japan in December, their first visit since 2016.

Our take
Castle sit at the classic heavy metal end of doom, not the extreme end, but the video is a gift for horror fans and the tour is the band’s biggest European run in years.
Bottom line
Carrie Chains is out now through Hammerheart and the band’s Bandcamp.
