Superb guitar, bass and drum unity at a high-octane pace storms into view – nostalgic and original melody and vocal dynamic quickly capturing attention from afar. Captain Graveyard delivers a boldly unique yet perfectly structured and satisfying ode to timeless hard-rock, with the precise complexity and weight of Tragedy of a blood romance.
Hailing from The Netherlands, Captain Graveyard is a vocalist and visual artist with a collaborative backbone to a multitude of original releases. That creative journey over the past few years has culminated in the crafting of what is perhaps one of the most artistically rooted, genre-fusing and unpredictable yet engaging alt-rock singles of recent times.
Beginning with the contrast between the sheer pace and intensity of the instrumental, and the pop-punk melodic appeal and softness of the voice, the song draws you in from the outset for its lyrical and musical ability.
Later on, we evolve through various sections of electronic programming, warped vocals, leading shifts, and even experimental production. There’s also a notable back and forth between rock melodies and the roar of metal, and all of this is quite seamlessly interconnected across a rather faultless and energising three minutes and ten seconds.
Far from a one-trick pony, the Captain Graveyard repertoire promises a wealth of entertaining and impressive alternative music, but for those new to the sound – Tragedy of a blood romance is the perfect place to begin. Turn this one up loud.
