Following a successful headlining jaunt throughout the United States to kick off the touring cycle for new album Under Siege, heavy metal/doom enthusiasts CASTLE have announced another month's worth of dates throughout the U.S. and Canada. The band, which features vocalist/bassist Elizabeth Blackwell and guitarist Mat Davis, will be rounded out by drummer Will Carroll (Death Angel) for the trek, which kicks off in Portland on July 2. A current listing of dates can be found below.

Consisting of eight tracks of riff-driven melodic metal, Under Siege -- CASTLE's third full-length release -- was released last month to stunning reviews. The Chicago Reader praised its "Iron Maiden-ish guitar leads (that) tickle like bloody claws", while A.V. Club lauded the album as the band's "most throttling full-length" yet. You can watch the music video for the single "Be My Ghost" below:
