CAPRA have announced their debut album!

Titled In Transmission, the upcoming album from the American metallic hardcore band is their debut full-length effort and is scheduled to be released in April this year, via Backlight Media/Metal Blade Records.

“This band symbolizes that hard work, determination, passion, and drive can lead to success. We’re all very outspoken on our past struggles and intend to help others that feel like they’re in a hole so deep that they can’t climb out of it,” guitarist Tyler Harper asserts. Bassist Ben Paramore adds, “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. 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.”

Predominantly tracked in December 2019, In Transmission was recorded with Jai Benoit [GOLGOTHAN, FATHER RUST], then mixed by Taylor Young [NAILS, TWITCHING TONGUES] and mastered by Brad Boatwright [PIG DESTROYER, INTEGRITY, TORCHE, IDLE HANDS]. The only exceptions were Mutt, Transfiguration, and Deadbeat Assailant, which were recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, and required the members to go into the studio individually to lay down their parts rather than all going in together.

The hardest aspect of making the record turned out to be naming it. “We went through a plethora of titles trying to find what we felt was the perfect name,” Paramore says. “We’ve been sitting on the majority of this record since the end of 2019 and had originally hoped to send it out to the masses mid-summer, but thanks to the pandemic, all of that obviously got pushed back. In a lot of ways, this is a message we’ve been trying to send out that has essentially been stuck or lost in transmission for a year now, and we’re all ready for that message to finally be received.”

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; The Locust Preacher.
