Episode 93 - Riley Pinkerton of Castle Rat - Type O Negative, October Rust

For episode 93 I'm joined by the Rat Queen - Riley Pinkerton from Castle Rat!Castle Rat are a five-piece Medieval Fantasy Heavy Metal band from New York, bringing massive riffs and some much needed theatrical chaos to this crazy world. I caught up with Riley just a few days after they completely stole the weekend at this year’s Bloodstock, to dive deep into the music of fellow New Yorkers Type O Negative and their 1996 classic, October RustWe talk the realm, we talk world building and we talk about being gifted DIY recreations of Peter Steele iconic Play Girl cover as a leaving gift from colleagues. Castle Rat are on a full US tour throughout September and October and they have two highly recommended albums available now, 2024's Into The Realm and 2025's The Bestiary.
