The search for the ideal recording space took Brooklyn-based doom metal band Castle Rat to church
A New York metal band needed a place to record. They picked Kensington’s allegedly haunted 154-year-old St. Michael’s Lutheran Church.Castle Rat: Riley Pinkerton in Rat Queen guise, with the Count , the Plague Doctor , nemesis the Rat Reapress, and the druid .Recording studios can be stunning spaces: all burnished wood, gleaming glass, and contoured surfaces.
“It had to be something ridiculous with endless ceilings, like a church or a cathedral,” Pinkerton recalled. “Our producer, Davis Shubs, was like, ‘I think I know a guy.’” At this, Pinkerton interrupted. “No! That place is so haunted. I’m not a medium but I’ve always felt things, and there were definitely moments when I’d swear there was someone right behind me.”
“I’ve never been involved in theater,” said Strmic, who sports a crown of antlers and white contact lenses behind the drum kit. “This is a really cool opportunity to not be Josh at the show, to be scary for a night.”
