Heavy rock-infused doom trio CASTLE have announced a series of headlining dates across the Southwestern U.S. as they make their way to appear at Austin, Texas' largest annual music festival, South By Southwest (SXSW). There, the band will be featured on Boss Tweed Backline's "Black Smoke Conjuring Showcase" alongside a mixture of metal, psychedelic and progressive rock acts including Kadaver, Riley Hawk, Heat, Elder, The Shrine and Ruby The Hatchet. CASTLE will then make their way back to the West Coast to prepare for a soon-to-be announced European tour!

Continuing to support their newest release, 2014's "Under Siege," which Outburn described as "truly infectious" and compared to a cross between Black Sabbath and Mercyful Fate, the band has completed several tours across the U.S. and Canada alongside such acts as Lord Dying, Cauldron, Anciients, Conan, and Graviators.

On their most recent run, CASTLE spent two weeks in January trekking across the state of California on the aptly-named "California Cult Tour," during which they stopped by several infamous and iconic cult-related sites. From Heaven's Gate and People's Temple to the infamous haunting grounds of Charles Manson and the Zodiac Killer, the band documented their experiences with an exclusive fear-rated tour diary on CVLT NATION.
