CAPRA - In Transmission
Metal Blade Records
I learned about this band by chance aka a video that popped up on my YouTube feed. CAPRA live in a studio for some fest. Musically CAPRA are a full on noisy attack with anger being the main focus. I'd like to drop em into the grind genre but there's so much going on with their sound that it would do them an injustice.
CAPRA are a four piece (?) act out of Lafayette, Louisiana. Musically as far as this release goes it's a long way from the live performance I saw as well as their video for the song "Medusa". Sound wise you get some riffs and drum beats from black metal. Add to that there's some sludge metal influence but hey go figure from where they're from.
The bottom line is that they're part of the post 90's hardcore style with a bunch of metal influences thrown in for good measure. Add to that there's some raging female vocals, well basically screaming, which is cool. Crow's vocals are unfortunately pushed back into the mix on here. Actually she sounds better in the videos. Somebody screwed that one up.
Musically I've heard this all before aka around twenty years ago because the whole metallic hardcore thing is not new. I'm guessing it was something out on Relapse back in the day. Either way this is decent and hopefully next time around they'll come out sounding more like a mix of BLACK BREATH meets PIG DESTROYER. Otherwise being angry without intelligence is stupid.
