Fans of Pelican's 'Australasia' listen up . . .

[Nate The Great]

Has the band Capricorns been discussed around here?

They have a new CD on Rise Above, and this is the first time I've heard them. They are quite excellent, and they remind me of Pelican's 'Australasia'. Not a clone or anything like that, though.

Neither of those Myspace songs are near as good as the song I heard on a Terrorizer 'Fear Candy' CD.

They're much dirtier than Pelican, and better. I read someone depict their stuff as a crossover between Keelhaul, Growing and the Melvins. And I sure agree, blind purchase material.

hella sold

 

[Russell]

Yeah, I reviewed their last EP, it was damn good. Got the album at home, can't wait to listen!

 

[Nate The Great]

Can anybody find their new album for a reasonable price in the US?

 

[J.]

i almost checked them out, but really, it's near impossible to be better than Australasia.

 

[Necro Joe]

I am totally loving this, good call.

Hmmm . . . I pretty much started this thread specifically for you. I guess you don't even care to hear something new.

 

[J.]

actually i do want to hear it. where can one find it?

The only place I can find it is at Rise Above, and they are out of the UK. So it's about $18 to get it to the US.

Candlelight distributes Rise Above in the US, and I've emailed them asking when it will be released in the US. I've also emailed Rise Above about that as well.

I'll try to keep you updated.

In the mean time, hears the song that got me interested in these guys.

God damn!!! That riff at 1:06 just kicks me in the balls every time.

 

[Nate The Great]

I just realized that link only contains part of the song. I'm working on fixing it.

 

[Nate The Great]

Fuck. I can't get it uploaded correctly. I have to go, though. You'll just have to listen to that small part for now.

 

[Sadguru]

interesting...will check it out.

pffftttt...forgive me for my skepticism. I shall be getting this soon.

 

[Nate The Great]

OK. I think this should be the full song.

Stupid title but good song. Pelican's still better but I'd probably pick this up.

 

[Dev]

Got the album , it's killer

 

[Dev]

This album makes the top 15 easily , and should be entering top 10 in the days to come. The songwriting is bloody amazing and the production is unique , heavy and clear , between a stoner and a math-rock album's .

Thanks Nate

this is pretty cool, but should i get Australasia first? i still haven't that album and March Into the Sea was pretty boring.
