Capsize – ‘A Reintroduction: The Essence Of All That Surrounds Me’
A great post-hardcore throwback.
With their second full-length, hardcore quartet Capsize continue to assault the senses with a full-throttled barrage of unforgiving riffs and hard-hitting vocals.
Yet, ‘A Reintroduction...’ sees the band enter bold new territory, with a more melodic edge to their sound reminiscent of post-hardcore heroes The Used. The likes of lead single ‘XX (Sew My Eyes)’ sees frontman Daniel Wand’s characteristic roars meet catchy choruses, and will no doubt win them plenty of new fans.
While it’s a radical change in direction, it produces some great results.
