Castle releases their second new track from their upcoming album.
Castle has recently released a second new track from their upcoming album, Carrie Chains, which is set to be released on September 4th through Hammerheart Records. The new single, Truckgrinder, can be streamed on all digital platforms. The band describes Truckgrinder as a tribute to life on the road and the constant touring that allows them to connect with their fans. Castle’s distinct sound is a blend of classic heavy metal influences from bands like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and Mercyful Fate, while still maintaining their unique and powerful sound.
In addition to the new track release, Castle has announced a US tour scheduled for September 2026. The tour will kick off in Detroit, MI, and make stops in various cities across the US, including Brooklyn, NY, Nashville, TN, and Los Angeles, CA. Castle’s live performances are known for their energy and raw sound, capturing the essence of their music and storytelling.
Carrie Chains showcases Castle’s ability to create powerful anthemic hooks and intricate riffs, all while maintaining a stripped-down, classic heavy-metal sound. The album was written last year, alongside the band’s covers EP Double Vision, as a way for the band to tap into their early sound and inspiration. The recording process for Carrie Chains involved recording live in the studio for the first time, capturing the raw and energetic essence of Castle’s music.
Lead vocalist Liz Blackwell and guitarist Mat Davis found inspiration for the album by revisiting the early days of Castle and reimagining their sound. The songs on Carrie Chains, like Truckgrinder and Carry Chains, reflect classic themes of rising against all odds and overcoming challenges. The album’s main character, Carrie Chains, serves as a symbol of resilience and determination in challenging times.
Castle’s lineup includes Liz Blackwell on bass and vocals, Mat Davis on guitar and vocals, and Mike Cotton on drums. The band’s sound is characterized by Liz’s powerful, whiskey-throated vocals and Mat’s intricate guitar riffs. The upcoming album, Carrie Chains, promises to be a powerful addition to Castle’s discography, blending classic heavy metal influences with their unique twist to create something new and captivating.
