Castiel announce new EP ‘All Returns to Hollow and Silence’
CASTIEL have announced a new EP!
The Austrian deathcore collective have revealed their new EP All Returns to Hollow and Silence, which is set for release on July 24th via Seek and Strike Records.
All Returns To Hollow And Silence is conceived as a continuous story, with each track acting as a chapter within a broader narrative. That concept extends visually too, with every song set to receive its own video. Thematically, the EP explores the evolving relationship between two central protagonists, shaped by tension, transformation, and emotional conflict, with subtle inspiration drawn from World Of Warcraft lore.
Speaking on the EP, the band states, “this EP is heavier, more brutal but also more emotional than anything we’ve done before as a band. We’ve pushed ourselves creatively while staying true to who we are, this feels like the most complete version of CASTIEL yet.”
Alongside the announcement, the band have unveiled the opening chapter and lead single Act I: Defile // Denounce, which arrives with an official music video.
