Castle Posts "Hammer And The Cross" Music Video

"Welcome To The Graveyard" is the forthcoming new full-length from West Coast doom metal band Castle. Captured by Billy Anderson (Sleep, Neurosis, Brothers Of The Sonic Cloth, Eyehategod, Ommadon et al) at Type Foundry Studios in Portland, Oregon this pastwWinter, the eight-track offering will see official July 15th via Ván Records.

In advance of its official unveiling, today a new video for second track "Hammer And The Cross" comes online. Directed by Jaan Silmberg of Pistoltrixx, "Hammer And The Cross" was shot north of Toronto, Ontario while the band was between recording and mixing sessions for "Welcome To The Graveyard" this past winter.

"The song 'Hammer And The Cross' commands a lot of space and we wanted to find a location to match its starkness," elaborates vocalist Elizabeth Blackwell of the clip. "We filmed the video at an old, abandoned dairy farm north of Toronto in the middle of February in Canada. The cold, swirling imagery is a perfect complement to the hypnotic doomy sounds of the song. It was a successful collaboration with our director and a lot of fun to make."
