Black Capricorn, female-ruled (ehm …) but male-fronted, eclectic occult doom trio from the magic Italian island of Sardinia (yes, the Duna Jam one …) are back into action.
They are busy writing the new album, the third after the self-titled debut album back in 2011, successful live activity overseas and in the “continent” (Italy and Europe) and the acclaimed, powerful 2013 album Back to the Capricorn. During some recording sessions last summer the trio recorded a soothing, charming cover version of Black Sabbath’s song Solitude (from the album Master of Reality, 1971). The song has a particular significance for the band as it is the first one lead by female vocals. The Black Capricorn ladies, Virginia and Rakela, were accompanied by bearded frontman Kjxu on guitar and by some sweet flute notes by Alessandra Cornacchia from the metal band Sacred Sword.
So in the new album there may be some new features …
The band also coupled these dark and intimate tunes with a video (see below) where you can get some fuzzy yet charming glimpses of the wild coastline and inland of the beautiful, sundried, rough, ancient and tough, doomy island Sardinia in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea.
It is possible to download Back Capricorn’s own version of Solitude (as mp3) via a link provided by the band: HERE
Keep this doomy trio under your radar for news about the forthcoming album and, for the moment, enjoy this delicate version of Solitude.
