DARK CASTLE: Two Upcoming Vinyl Releases Confirmed

At A Loss Recordings is ready to announce two vinyl releases for the fall from Floridian doom duo DARK CASTLE.

First up, the vinyl edition of DARK CASTLE's critically acclaimed 2009 full-length Spirited Migration, which the band has been touring on almost constantly for the past two years. This already behemoth album will be available to the public in massive 180-gram vinyl, the first pressing coming in both opaque ruby red and opaque forest green vinyl. The platters will be available to the publicthis October 26th, but are shipping via AAL mailorder now. View a photo of the beautiful finished product HERE.

The next release from DARK CASTLE will also be on wax, in the form of Guardian Of Fire; a one-sided LP bearing the 21+ minute song "Guardian Of Fire" track on one side, and a complex etching on the B-side. The track was initially recorded before the Spirited Migration sessions but was never finalized or released. Recently the band unearthed the track, took it to engineering magician Sanford Parker (Minsk, Nachtmystium, Rwake) to remix and finalize the track, with Parker contributing some moog and effects to the final version as well. The LP will be available sometime in early 2011; a final release date and album artwork by vocalist/guitarist Stevie Floyd will be announced/posted shortly.

DARK CASTLE have basically become a household name for devotees of crushing, cerebral doom and organic slow-motion metal due to their incessant touring across North America and Europe alongside Black Cobra, Zoroaster, Nachtmystium, Black Tusk, The Body, Minsk, Battlefields, Samothrace, Howl and countless more over the past several years. The intoxicating, pentatonic flow of DARK CASTLE's unique, thunderous attack offers more than the typical "doom act" and their live shows are as visually entertaining as they are sonically devastating. Check out live footage of the band's recent jaunt across North America with Nachtmystium, Zoroaster and The Atlas Moth and more HERE.

NACHTMYSTIUM To Headline Tour w/ Zoroaster, The Atlas Moth, Dark Castle

Today we are proud to announce NACHTMYSTIUM's next step in global intoxication, as the psychedelically lethal horde will headline one of the most brutal underground tours of the year.

Set to kick off in early September, NACHTMYSTIUM will be joined by brethren Zoroaster, The Atlas Moth and Dark Castle. Presented by Stereogum and Haunting The Chapel, the nearly month-long trek will weave it's twisted path through sections of the Eastern and Midwest U.S. and into Canada for several dates, before coming to a halt in NACHTMYSTIUM's Chicago stomping grounds, surely leaving a trail of smoldering cerebrums in its wake. Still heavily supporting their latest black-mangled-rock fantasy album Addicts: Addicts: Black Meddle Part II, which was released in North America in early June via Century Media, the other groove, space, doom, thunder and noise elements culminated by openers Zoroaster, The Atlas Moth and Dark Castle should prove this tour to be the most mind-melting of them all.

This headlining tour follows NACHTMYSTIUM's meaty 2010 tour schedule, which has already included massive North American tours with Kreator and Voivod, Eyehategod, a European tour with Jarboe, appearances at several massive festivals including Roadburn, Festung Open Air and much more. The band will also be headed to Oslo, Norway to slay Øyafestivalen (Øya Festival) alongside Iggy Pop & The Stooges, The Flaming Lips and more on August 12th.

"...Nachtmystium are all about confrontation, daring people to have enough of an open mind to look past what they perceive to be 'true' heavy music and accept the fact that a little experimenting never hut anybody." 9/10 - Decibel

"Psychedelic and dreamy/nightmarish vibes continue to be a persuasive element across the board. Even with the more pronounced cohesiveness than its predecessor, it still tickles the cerebrum." 9/10 - Outburn

"Whether it is better than the records that preceded it is a matter of taste: It is great by any standard. It is better than almost anything else I have heard this year." 9/10 - The Long Island Press

"...Nachtmystium has become the musical embodiment of the phrase 'nothing ventured, nothing gained,' as they continually take risks and tread waters that few others would dare even considering and to their credit, most of those risk pay off." 9/10 - Blabbermouth

"...Addicts resembles Vried, Immortal and Mayhem as it does Zappa, Calem And Einstürzende Neubauten with the atmosphere of a drug den sullied with the tortured emotion of a Edvard Munch painting." 9/10 -Rock Sound

"...the evil, all-black mirror image of the White Stripes, with the dude on drums, and as the

Matti and the lysergic riffs that split the difference between Rwake's and Neurosis'." - Revolver

"...that is really the best way to describe Dark Castle - fierce,

despite all of the dynamic wonders going on." - Terrorizer

"It feels like the kind of album that no matter what they do from here

will be sought after in the coming years." - Stonerrock.com
