Castle Rat’s Riley Pinkerton has called allegations of the fantasy doom metal band being “industry plants” “hilarious”.
Talking to Full Metal Jackie (via Loudwire), the singer/guitarist, who performs onstage as her alter ego “The Rat Queen”, responds to the notion of the fast-rising four-piece somehow being backed by music industry elites, despite the fact that they had to finance their last album, 2025’s The Bestiary, via a crowd-funding initiative.
