Castle, a hard-driving heavy-metal band that seems to never stop touring, hits Starlite for the first time this year. The band’s tunes pulse with galloping bass lines and catchy-as-hell choruses—perfect for making you spill your beer as you viciously headbang. Sharing the stage are two of the area’s most promising metal bands: Worship of Keres and Crimson Eye. The whole lineup leans toward classic metal, doom, thrash and sludge, but no matter the genre, if you worship the riff, here’s your next mass. 1517 21st Street, www.heavycastle.com.
