This looks like an obscure 80s doom metal band video that was found in an old warehouse, and someone thought it was so cool they decided to convert it to mp4 and upload it on KZread. I love the vibes of this type of video and music.

@@ms.ggrose It used to be in the 80s, 90s, and 00s. But now. I wouldn't say so. Metal has faded from the mainstream since the last decade and has become the music of the outsider or the hermit. Exactly what it used to be in the 70s. Sure you have bands such as Suicidal Angels or Firewind but no matter how many arenas these guys pack, they aren't hit makers and you don't have to know anything about them if u don't want to, so..

As an old bloke brought up on prog rock/metal, this warms me cold heart. Pleases me so much to hear this, I’m an instant fan.
Despite whatever genres and aesthetics people are going to box this in with over and over again; This is actually pretty cool. I can't put my finger on what it is, but I definitely see some direction that's more inspired than just wanting to replay old looks. It's unique, and the music is honest. Great stuff.
Did I get recommended this bc I was looking up so many Skyrim mods? Nice!
Love those guitar tones. Brings me back to finding my dad's Sabbath tape as a kid.

It sounds new and old at the same time, a rare fusion of musics from the 70ies to now. I'm not often that impressed but it's just pure pleasure to my ears !
Easliy the cooles thing I've seen all year
The fight choreography is the best I've ever seen.
Omg discovery of the year!
Nice Doom Prog with visuals that remind me of the Conan movies I loved growing up. Also, pretty cool to see a newer band doing something reminiscent of 70s prog, Curved Air in particular.
This is super like, robert plants fantasy scene in the song remains the same but darker and I'm living for it 🙏
Woke up to this being suggested. Listened. Now immortalized in my mind. Epic dogwalk in the crisp frozen enchanting winter dawn ensued. Perfect soundtrack looping through my memory. I got some feeling coming back
This has an eerie 90's nostalgia element to it imo and I am loving everything about it. Subscribed and liked before the song even ended.

Pure gold. Wish you great success, Castle Rat! Greetings from El Salvador
ONG such a 1970's fantasy/horror movie vibe to the video.
A tour of Castle Rat and Poison Ruin would probably be a legendary event.
A band with some great humor and a feel for retro, great song as well, Im a fan, I love to support and up coming band.
this is one of those tracks that while listening, it feels as if the world around you is turning to the music. so that you may be content just long enough to really feel the impact.
