I'm glad these bards are here to share the songs of their most recent adventures with us.
Allen's been putting in that work.
THE SONG OF THEIR PEOPLE
I misread this as “I'm glad these bastards are here to share the songs of their most recent adventures with us.” and I was like, yeah, rock on 🤘
I so agree!!! 🖤🖤
Sorry not following but here for the music
I can only describe it as "Early Black Sabbath meets Red Sonja or an average DnD campaign" And I'm here for it
Her broad sword is +2 against ice creatures
I'm getting Poison Ivy vibes too...
Or where Grace Slick took over for Ozzy instead of Dio..
Omg yes are we bringing this aesthetic back? God yes!
Music to sharpen your sword to
😆
Yeah, but what if your sword doesn't get sharp anymore?😢
@@robertkyes7369 There are still those magical little blue whetstones with which you can sharpen even the bluntest blade. Ask for them at your local alchemist's.
@@robertkyes7369 You search for the magic blue gem
oh im sharpening my sword alright
She's like a 1970's Red Sonja poster by Frazetta in black light come to glorious life!!
Looking forward to (hopefully) making it to NY for the album release show.
Nailed it!
with makeup seemingly inspired by Stacia from Hawkwind, she also does similar spoken word parts between songs live as Michael Moorcock did at Hawkwind concerts in the 1970's and 1980's
all the cool and beauty of frazetta without the cringeworthy coomerism
I was gonna say Kate Bush in Babooshka, but this is more accurate.
@@superhetoric mate, that chainkini couldn't be smaller, she's wearing pasties under it... how is that not still thirsty af?
...you can be h*rny AND respectful, it's ok, we're all here for ALL of it
All hail the Rat Queen!
Hail!
hail!
In walks barbarella!
Horus sonst nichts!
🐀🐀🐀
Most of the time, UA-cam recommendations suck. Other times, I find amazing stuff like this.
I was thinking THE SAME THING as I was watching this!
This band is great
what my UA-cam algorithm is my best algorithm for finding new music, y'all just got to listen to good stuff and other good stuff will pop up
This is not amazing lol
@@pizzlepayne91 foreal, this is what i was thinking
“How much reverb do you want?”
“This one goes to 11”
moist setting, not even dry or wet
Mine goes to 12 😂
“You want chamber reverb?”No I want Torture Chamber reverb.”
*_click_* Noice.
the mix is very clean, doesnt sound drowned out or anything
Came for the scantily clad guitarist, stayed for the scantily clad guitarist
Both literally and literally.
Clad like iron clad armor?
@@StallionStudios1234Something like that
There's a guitarist in this video?
@@BeauregardHall The babe is nice too
This is what you see if you drop acid wile playing DnD
Is there another way?
Director: How much like the 70's should the video look like?
Castle Rat: Yes.
"I'm insulted you would even need to ask."
I spit up my drink.
So '70s it hurts.
@@SnoopyCoupe Fucking glory.
So, Since Riley is the director and the lead singer, you're saying this is a conversation she had with herself? Yeah, probably.
The world needs more Dirty Dungeon Rock. Like, what sort of music does an unscrupulous wizard stealing magical treasure listen to? Probably Castle Rat.
BASED COMMENT
The facial expressions and the looking off into the distance parts are worth a second view. There’s so much blazing old-school happening that the first time through it’s easy to miss that subtlety.
Riley is STUNNING in every video, and she does all of the directing, costuming, and editing too?!?! She has absolutely nailed that late 70s-early 80s look and feel!!! It’s like a movie poster come to life!!!!
Gotta love the 1970's fantasy comic feel of this psychedelic band.
"My fur has grown in thick and coarse" - dayum, girl
😤😤😤
The way she swings that sword gives me Dio vibes and i'm here for it.
She’s a Holy Diver for sure.
Same
She's got that lvl 99 end game female armor going on too.
I just cannot get over the Rat Queen's hair. It is glorious. I feel envy.
I've a pet name for my penis as well.
someone got credits at the end for 'hairdryer' hehe
@@Les537 They deserve the credit.
I too was looking at her hair.....
@@poppajay4968 I'll admit, her eyeliner had me entranced as well.
This would be right at home in an old-school, rock-and-roll horror movie. Some beautiful 70s/80s cheese to freak out the pearl clutchers.
Holy sh!tballs, Castle Rat should seriously just make a movie, like, right now. Make the budget extremely low, the music extremely loud, the ladies' armor extremely useless as actual armor, the plot as extremely thin as the "armor," and let it roll. I'd watch the literal/figurative fu_k out of it.
Spinal Tap something something opening act Castle Rat something something timewarp stuck in medieval Europe (is that Ash over there?) something something whatever hot chicks and broken eardrums.
I’m getting some Babooshka Kate Bush from this vid and it’s cool as hell.
Nicely said. Couldn't place that part of the vibe.
I was about to say this exact thing. I found the vinyl and it was a sampler I think. I'm awestruck.
Funny, I was thinking she looks quite a lot like a young Kate
Not enough modern bands capture this feel and I am really digging it. Keep up the great work Castle Rat!
Its not polished and plastic. It sounds like real music performed by humans
You mean copy an old sound...
This sounds just like Blood Ceremony.
Watching and enjoying this band is like being able to travel back to a more magical, simpler time when music inspired epic adventures in your mind. And some of those adventures ended up as written stories, films, and more. It's quite a conjuring.
Digging the old Italian / Spanish horror movie vibes in the video. Awesome.
And classic 80s fantasy vibes she looks like a Heavy Metal mag cover
dungeon giallo?
babe wake up new castle rat dropped, grab your armor
What armor? Just need my broadsword, bikini, and loincloth!
this seems to literally be their debut
my favorite constellations are undiscovered worlds and sector 8
It's not about protection, it's about distraction.
@@minacapella8319 Bikini Armor, Sword and Sheild.
This whole thing makes me feel 10 in the 80's again, I love it.
My god, if I looked like that, there'd be no survivors.
You just made me laugh so loud.
This is like a Dragonlance metal album comes alive.
I'm an Indian Metalhead. I just found out this band while browsing throughout youtube searching for some unique music and got me into this channel. Now i feel lucky to get to know about his amazing band.
I love how Gibson's SG shape totally matches their band image !!!
Right, it's an axe!
Its a classic metal guitar from the 70s. Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath made it iconic.
Bit of a self fulfilling prophecy.
Band wants to look and sound like Sabbath. Iommi plays SGs. Band plays SGs. Band looks and sounds like Sabbath.
Worst guitar shape next to the telecaster.
@@mandolinistry3207 First went into production in 1961. It's the longest running production run at Gibson. Got a couple myself.
DnD soundtrack initiated! Damn I love this band🖤
you know, I think that the kids are all right.
😂no man, the kids are F'd up!
@@rickgarcia7334that's what he said 😅😊
Now that really is a good comment
Yeah. Which one?
Yeah the kids are fucking fucked up. You are probably right. Unfortunately
This is my musical discovery of the year!
The youtube algorithm did me good for once. I love this band, can't wait for the full album to drop. All hail the rat queen!
Same here. Really digging everything I've heard from this band so far. 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Could be a band to watch out for! Reminds me of Ghost's first album
The 70's metal cheese video. The music. The band name. I'm sold. 🤘
Ah, good old Castle Rat. They were truly ahead of their time.
They put their first album out this year
@@xanderwallace4018 I don't know what to answer to this. Your information is technically correct. But I refuse. Nope.
@@davidfranzkoch9789 Their first album doesn't even release until next month lmao
I was at their concert in 1986 years before the berlin wall fell
crazy time back then
I remember rocking out to them back during their tour in Dol Guldur.
NPR has been introduced to Castle Rat. Next up, maybe we'll finally get Riley behind the Tiny Desk!
In moments like these one can only say Hell Yeah
That hair of hers is so wild i think i'm in love
"Who tends the fire, Who keeps the torches lit
Who fills your eyes with smoke, So you can see"
this is one such band
Overkill quote, a man of culture
those bass-assist thirds hit like a goddamned freight train
NEW CASTLE RAT DROP WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE.
Needs to do a collaboration with Zlad
Rat drop? Sorry not following...
I assume a wizard cast a spell on an airbrush painting on the side of a 1977 Econoline van and this band was born.
Came for the underboob, stayed for the music. And the underboob.
Seriously though, kick ass band. Preordered the album. I’m a thrash/death metal guitarist and I don’t typically listen to Sabbath style stuff, but this is the exception to the rule. It sounds retro and fresh at the same time and it is actually just what I needed right now but didn’t know it until I heard it.
Right? Even though the music is raw talent, we must not understate the raw underboob!
Best underboob I've seen. Hands down.
I read the credits on their bandcamp page - recorded in an abandoned church
It is impossible not to like these guys...
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'll sleep well tonight knowing this exists and other people still make real art
My copy of the "Into The Realm" LP just arrived! Hell yeah, you guys.
the FX on the sword swinging reminds me of Black Sabbath's Paranoid album cover! LOVE THIS SONG
It realy does
Yeah, I picked that up as well
Major hair appreciation. We never see the big hair anymore even amongst performers who have a team to maintain it. The Beyonce's and Shakira's of the world dont have hair like this.
Cause beyonce and shakira suck
Finally, the algo giving me good stuff again.
Gotta love the commitment to the vibe. Even the aspect ratio is old-school
When she sways back & forth and looks right at the camera my heart melts.
And of course, they rock!
Their producer deserves a raise. Love the tone on this. If I ever needed a reason to re-cone my Advent 3 series, this is it.
The thumbnail looked 80s as hell but I wasn't expecting heavy metal. I got way more than I could have expected in the best way possible. The bass tone almost reminds me of some of Tal Wilkenfeld's solo songs.
I always knew Bardbarian was a duel class worthy of exploration. Charisma check, Dexterity check, light armour check, instrument/weapon check
It's like Kyuss went to a Sword and Sorcery dimension. I love it!
definitely felt kyuss as my first reaction too
Castle Rat may be my spirit animal. I feel like everything they do perfectly captures the aesthetic that I love.
Thank you for keeping the old ways alive. Can't wait for the album
Was waiting for a new sound for too long - and it sneaked right out of past. Love the simplicity.
You guys seriously fucking rock. I've been telling anyone who will listen about Castle Rat and their magic music. 🤘
everything about this is perfect
Been a fan for only a month and they've already dropped abother music video and another banger of a song? Things are looking up.
WOW! This is... Incredible! The vibes of Early Manowar ("Glory Ride" era) + Black Sabbath, + 80-s Sword&sorcery movies, + a beautifel "Red Sonya" singer in chainmail bikini. I guess someone finally made a time machine and visited 1981!
Hail the Rat Queen!
The effects in this video are sick
I adore how she looks oh my gosh, love this whole 80s fantasy dungeon aesthetic!! ❤
great sound and I dig the the ultimate warrior look with the makeup, an old classic.
I got Stacia from Hawkwind vibes from her makeup style myself
I thought of myself as fairly savvy in the knowing of cool underground sort of bands like this but... i think i just found a new favorite... do all their songs have this sort of feel ro em? 🫨 freakin out bro, cant believe this escaped my radar 🤣
Revel in the joy of discovery!!
I can’t get enough of this video. It’s a time warp to the future past and present. Please come visit us in Humboldt County California 🤘
Oh I see, I've been calling the one in the rat mask the Rat Queen, but in the credits she is actually the Rat Reaperess and the frontwoman is the Rat Queen
You're forgiven, there's some lore and backstory to this band like a video game. But check out their other stuff, they only have like five or so music videos so far.
They are actually Archenemies, but an understandable mistake
If I was more buzzed I might appreciate the irony.
I found myself saying "watch out for the reaperess" when she appeared, like I was watching a bloody pantomime.
Get it right next time, or you’ll be drawn and quartered!
Brilliant im so glad i saw this
HIT AFTER HIT ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
I dig it
Giving me Thee Oh Sees and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard vibes
Kick ass riff's.🔥Kick ass video.😍🔥
Love this band's style; very fun!
one of those bands that get pretty much everything perfectly right, I love the subtle progressive touches to the songwriting and how much work they put into the whole surrealistic fantasy theme for their lyrics + videos
This is insane, brings me back to the old All That Is Heavy days. It's good to hear the good stuff again.
So fucking good... the power is heavy here
This is how its done!!!
Omg finafuckingly an amazing band that exudes talent and creativity. Those drums are just beast, feels like Sabbath but original for sure. Great guitars, amazing singer, this band needs to blow up! I’m 57 and I’m thanking the metal gods for keeping great music alive! Grandmas about to bestow this Castle Rat gift on her granddaughters! 💜😻
I got my vinyl pre-ordered, can't wait to spin it up!
Poised to become the best band on the planet! Pre-ordered the album, so stoked! 🤘🤘
This is so awesome. This is just what I needed to see. I became an instant fan. It is wonderful!
The aesthetics if this video are so good and go so well with the amazing music
These riffs go hard
Spot on with the late 70's feel to the video and the music. I am hoping that the next album, or the one after be a full movie with all the songs telling an epic tale of conquest and death.
Recently watch Death Stalker, pretty sure that's why UA-cam helped me find this band... P.s. that movie is wild, just don't watch if you have PTSD from sexual assault or rape
Hell yeaaaahhh new Castle Rat song I can't wait for the album
I haven’t been this excited about a band for a long time. You guys are awesome!!
This just came across my feed and I am glad it did. Awesome video.
Thank you! I'm sharing it with all my circles
How awesome is this?! This is exactly my thing!
Keen for the full album cannot wait
Can't wait for a full album
This ROCKS!!!!! Awesome absolutely awesome
Reminds me a lot first impressions after first bewitched listening, great mix of some late 70s,early 80s stoner doom vibes, great production too, you can entirely hear that they exactly know what they're doing.
This is gorgeous. Both the music and video. So glad I got it in my recommended feed
I stumbled across this by accident, love it. The aesthetic the music
Whoever shot this video is pretty cool.
Really like the way this was filmed.
Congratulations on the release!!
