Into the Realm, by Castle Rat

Into the Realm

by Castle Rat

supported by

lunaticpathos At once classic and new, with an impressive mix of sounds. A glimpse of the stage show found on insta generated instant regret that I didn't know about this band when they came through my city. Favorite track: Dagger Dragger.

Los Great atmosphere, killer riffs, and solid vocals. It's easily one of my favorite releases of the year thus far. Favorite track: Cry For Me.

The highly anticipated debut record from the New York fantasy doom rockers, is finally here! INTO THE REALM

True to the band’s ethos, Into the Realm was recorded in an abandoned Philadelphia church the band temporarily converted into a studio. Among the flooded floors, decaying plaster, and ornate stained glass windows, the band stacked their Orange amps and tracked over two and half days, with engineering and production assistance from Davis Shubs and Thomas Johnsen.

PLEASE NOTE: The release date for INTO THE REALM is 04/12/24
and all products are mockups. Images will be updated as products arrive.

Foreverglade
by Worm

supported by 19 fans who also own “Into the Realm”

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal

The best material yet by both bands! Dream Unending take their craft to the next level, presenting some of the most captivating guitar work of 2023, a tall order in a stacked year. Meanwhile Worm deliver on every bit of the promise of their Bluenothing EP and I can't get enough of it. Metal without equal! Rayne

Can't believe I'm getting on this 2 years late. Such a well-crafted experience, it is exactly what I've been craving out of the doomgaze subgenre. Heavy, sprawling, dark and mysterious. Heroin is less addictive. Magnus Blackwood
