Young vapour phenomenon known as Castel gets his first physical release called Astral Portal.
This record includes the album NEO RISING, previously released on Pinkbox Teleport, the rare Dream Entanglement and completely new material which tool Castel six months to complete.
I feel like it will help new listeners to dive into it,
and for my old fans this will be an opportunity to open the sound they love once again, with new breath and special energy.
This is not a secret, I'm perfectionist but also I have big respect to people who believe in me,
so working on Astral Portal was more than just recording a new album.
I would say this was like creating a portal to the New Era" - Castel.
oh, yeah...
it was predicted by NEWAGE MAG and now we see how easily this newcomer has become game changer for vapour world.
We can endlessly talk about the reasons for this, so we better just admit some facts.
