Castle Grayskull is well recognized for their 2009-2012 period during the "Myspace era" of metalcore. After a 15-year hiatus of releasing new music, they returned with their single "Spliced With Tiger DNA" in December 2024 and the remastered version of their 2010 album, "To Live As Brutes," in early 2025.

The West Virginian metalcore act is back once again with their latest single The Rural Juror out today! You can watch the official lyric video on their YouTube channel below.

Known for their mix of nostalgic "golden era" metalcore with modern metal, Castle Grayskull doesn't waste a moment of your time, launching directly into action as a lofi effect gradually introduces the listener to the band's aggressive sound.

Slamming drum grooves meet explosive screams and crushingly heavy guitar riffs as bright synths fill in the background of the song's atmospheres. We love the dramatic tempo changes between progressive riffs, thrashing blast beats, and down-tempo breakdowns–keeping the song interesting throughout its runtime.

Castle Grayskull brings the energy, chaos, and dynamics of old-school metalcore while utilizing the crystal-clear production of modern music that brings the intricacies of their songs to light.

Following their 2024 single Spliced With Tiger DNA, The Rural Juror is a natural progression of the band's musical style, delivering an intensely hard-hitting metalcore sound that invokes a striking sense of both nostalgia and something new.

Fans of all extreme metal genres like metalcore, deathcore, and death metal will certainly enjoy the unique sound of Castle Grayskull. The Fairfield, VA act once again returns with an impressive showing of brutal metal. With plans to release much more music, this is not the last you'll see of Castle Grayskull.

You can stream The Rural Juror out on all platforms now!
