Other band members include «The Count» Franco Vittore (lead guitar), «The Plague Doctor» Charley Ruddell (bass), and «The All-Seeing Druid» Joshua Strmic (drums). They face their arch-nemesis, «The Rat Reaperess». The band was formed in 2019 and has released last year their debut album, «Into The Realm» on King Volume Records. CASTLE RAT’s genre is a doom metal and lyrical themes are fantasy, epic, medieval and dungers. Finnish cult rock band MANSION will be the opening act for the evening.
