Fans of Frank Frazetta and Black Sabbath, meet your favorite new band. Formed in 2019 and led by singer-guitarist Riley Pinkerton, a.k.a. The Rat Queen, Brooklyn's Castle Rat play what they call "Medieval Fantasy Doom Metal." It's sludgy, Dungeon & Dragons riffery of the highest order, delivered live via a theatrical stage show full of swords, masks and chain mail.
