Chile s Capilla Ardiente are the brainchild of bassist Claudio Botarro Neira and vocalist Felipe Plaza Kutzbach; the current line-up is completed by Julio Borquez (rhythm lead & acoustic guitars) Igor Leiva (rhythm guitar) and Francisco Aguirre (drums). (Botarro and Plaza are also playing with fellow doomsters (and High Roller recording artists) Procession.) Capilla Ardiente s brand new record »The Siege« consisting or four epic compositions follows 2014 s debut album »Bravery Truth And The Endless Darkness«. quot;The new album is both musically and conceptually the continuation of our past album quot; explains Claudio Botarro. quot;In this chapter the character presented on our last work - who has been living alone for quite some time in self-exile learning reflecting and gaining knowledge about him and the island he has being living in - one day finds out that foreign ships are arriving which he took as the great sign that he wasn t alone on the search; that finally he can connect and share experiences and knowledge with these sailors who like him survived the journey through the black seas and what lives into it s depths.quot; quot;We recorded the album at Audiocustom Estudio here in Chile during several sessions between late 2018 and early 2019 quot; he continues. quot;We went to this studio again as we (Felipe and myself) recorded the last Procession album there and we were very satisfied with the outcome.quot; A song like quot;The Open Arms The Open Woundsquot; sounds like the perfect mix between »Into Glory Ride« era Manowar and epic Candlemass. Probably not the worst references in the world.. quot;Those references fall into the right place I must say quot; laughs Claudio. quot;Indeed we are inspired by the epic feel of classic Candlemass (and Solitude Aeturnus!) and I also get that this song has a kind of Secret Of Steel vibe. If you listen to it a couple of times you could also find other influences laying under it from Mercyful Fate s Time and Slayer s South Of Heaven to Los Jaivas La Poderosa Muerte. We are proud of our influences and it s great that people can feel them in our music.quot;.
