Castle Rat have shared a new visual for one of their barnstorming tracks that further cements them as one of metal’s most fantastical bands.

The track is ‘DRAGON’, a mythical, dramatic, wonderfully heavy piece of classic metal majesty. Pulling from the sepia-toned sounds of the 70s whilst still feeling infinitely modern and timeless, it’s a perfect summation of everything the band want to represent.

And the visual continues that trend, utilising visual tricks and old-school imagery to paint a picture of a world beyond our own, yet that also still feels strangely homely.

Get lost within it here:

The track is taken from the band’s latest album ‘The Beastiary’, which was released last year.

Here is another offering, ‘SIREN’:
