Kapitur

Formed in Montreal in 2022 as the offspring of a classical cellist from Brazil, Kapitur’s sense of unfettered musical exploration storms an unexpected melodious mix of post-metal. The particular instrument takes center, with its warm voice coming naturally along the cellist's unhinged guttural vocals. Influenced by modern Swans, the 90's Montreal Mile End scene, US east coast noise, contemporary classical music, black/death/doom metal, their sound can be bright, sorrowful, and atmospheric like a slow apocalypse. With a lineup revealing of their diverse backgrounds, Kapitur shares members with Spectral Wound, Massive Scar Era, Ratpiss, and Infección. Drawing from past traumas and the safe space found in sci-fi literature, the group explores concepts of wonder, solitude, and disillusionment, paving the way for a mounting search for an identity shut by religious doctrines, gender norms, ruthless relationships, and exile. When working with cover songs, Kapitur prefers to resignify them under a new narrative that is often political — playing with something familiar to the public, while conveying a new message within the frame of social challenges in the 21st Century. Following their take on Roots Bloody Roots, Kapitur is releasing their debut EP “Covered in Dust”.
