Italy's modern titans of doom rise once again, as the coven of scuzzy, occult psychedelia that is Black Capricorn deliver their latest slab of epic proto metal. Following up on their single "Sacrifice" ahead of the full-length "Sacrifice Darkness and ... Fire", out July 12 through Majestic Mountain Records, the trio present their newest track and music video "A New Day Rising".
Thoroughly fuzzed-out and mystical in atmosphere, Black Capricorn sweep the listener off into a medieval tale of knights and grand, grisly battles. The keening vocals and stomping rhythm section are proto doom at its finest, while the gritty psychedelic guitar leads twist and turn into the song's hazy climax. The band are in full command of their black arts on "A New Day Rising", a promise of darker things yet to come this summer.
IN THE BAND'S OWN WORDS:
"A galloping wandering knight and his journey through a troubled life in the past centuries. We’ve paid tribute in the previous album to a legendary band with 'Worshipping the Bizarre Reverend'.
We are still following the same attitude also in the new LP with 'A New Day Rising', a galloping heavy song that pays tribute, for music style, to one of the most influential contemporary doom bands, the mighty Lord Vicar!"
