CAPRA: METALLIC HARDCORE OUTFIT UNLEASHES POWERFUL “RED GUILLOTINE” VIDEO; BAND TO KICK OFF TOUR SUPPORTING WHORES TONIGHT!
Lafayette, Louisiana-based metallic hardcore outfit CAPRA today unleashes a new video for “Red Guillotine.” The track comes by way of the band’s critically lauded In Transmission full-length, released via Blacklight Media/Metal Blade Records last year.
Formed in 2016 by guitarist Tyler Harper and drummer Jeremy Randazzo, the initial idea for CAPRA was to create something that would be fresh while still giving listeners a sense of nostalgia for the sounds of the late ’90s and early 2000s hardcore and punk scenes. Following various lineup changes, and adding Crow Lotus (vocals), Trevor Alleman (guitar), and Ben Paramore (bass) to their ranks, everything came together. In Transmission -- recorded with Jai Benoit (Golgothan, Father Rust), then mixed by Taylor Young (Nails, Twitching Tongues), and mastered by Brad Boatright (Pig Destroyer, Integrity, Torche, Idle Hands) -- represents the culmination of years of hard work, reflecting everything they’ve been writing and pouring into the band since solidifying the lineup. “We wanted it to be the heaviest and most complete record we could possibly lay down, composed of only the best songs we’ve written over years of playing together,” says Paramore. “It’s the best set of songs we’ve ever had, and we’re all extremely proud of them, and each other, so we hope it sounds like a total passion project — because it is.”
CAPRA will kick off their month-long US tour supporting Whores tonight, June 1st in Nashville, Tennessee! The journey runs through July 3rd in Columbia, South Carolina with additional support provided by Bummer. See all confirmed dates below

CREEPING DEATH continues to tour in support of their most recent release The Edge Of Existence EP, unleashed last year via MNRK Heavy. With a nod to crossover masters Iron Age, a bit of the tech-death of Cryptopsy, a foundation of forebearers Death, CREEPING DEATH summons a vibrant sound somehow both familiar and fresh. The Edge Of Existence EP further demonstrates the power, fury, and outright revelry at the heart of the band’s identity. Captured at Homewrecker Recording Studio in Tucson, Arizona and produced and mixed by Ryan Bram (Gatecreeper, Bitter Rivals, Sex Prisoner), the six-song EP introduces three new certified hellraisers — “Relics From The Past,” “Humanity Transcends,” and the title track —alongside remade and revitalized versions of the three songs from the band’s 2016 debut EP — “Sacrament Of Death,” “Doused In Flames,” and “Skinned Alive.” The Edge Of Existence EP is available on CD, cassette, digitally, and vinyl at THIS LOCATION.View the band’s previously released video for the EP’s title track HERE and a visualizer for “Humanity Transcends” HERE. "CREEPING DEATH play with a vigor that puts them above most of their contemporaries.” — Spin “The butt-ugly vocals, gurgling guitar tones and straightforward, almost instinctual thrust provides a legible map for the moshers, but there’s enough happening on top to please OSDM addicts.” — Revolver “‘Guttural’ does not begin to describe the vocals. ‘Heavy’ cannot capture the guitars. There are no words for drums this fast and assaulting. CREEPING DEATH serves up cold, sonic violence…” — Metal Injection
