Castaway

A Castaway is one that has been banished from a place or task. Whether being shunned from society or from relationships, being a Castaway is something that most of us can identify with, and it is the mission of the band to bring music to those that are Castaways as the band too holds that name. The music of Castaway is heavy and strong and the lyrics are deep and mean more than one thing, and all of this is required because it is intensity, passion, agression and spirituality that is at the heart of being a Castaway. This Central Florida based band formed in November of 2003 and after a full album, tons of shows, and a few cast member changes, Castaway has transformed into an intense melodic metal band with hard rock influences. Although Castaway is hard to define since they have a style of their own, one can see influences from all sorts of metal ranging from Metallica to Cephalic Carnage, and the vocals can be compared to that of Godsmack and Opeth. Castaway’s goal, collectively and individually, is to bring forward music that can express all that the group believes in and that can also justly bring honor and power to the name of their God; Jesus Christ. Music with a message, whether good or bad will bring change. What kind of change do you want?
