«Castle Rat» bringing back the 80s fantasy realm with full force – and what a night it was at Goldie in Oslo! 🐀🛡️
This band is pure theatrical madness in the best possible way: technical guitar solos that would make any dungeon keeper proud, fierce and dramatic vocals straight from another dimension, snappy bass lines that slither and dance, all held together by thunderous, intricate drumming that drives the whole experience forward like a fairytale.
The energy was unmatched – a bold blend of retro fantasy and modern attitude, as if someone opened a portal and pulled a spell-casting metal opera into our reality. Castle Rat doesn’t just play music – they perform a whole universe. And the crowd at Goldie? Completely spellbound.
The costumes, the commitment, the raw power – it was all there. But what really stood out was how tight and musical everything felt underneath the theatrical surface. These are not just performers; they’re serious musicians with a vision, bringing the spirit of classic metal into 2025 with a grin and a growl.
Big shoutout to Goldie for once again creating the perfect space for acts like this to unfold. It’s more than a venue – it’s a portal for stories, noise, and late-night magic.
