Morning Star Rise is the third full length from THE HOUSE OF CAPRICORN, an apocalyptic devil rock troupe from New Zealand. Within its nine tracks of doomed rock n roll, the album encapsulates the last three years of THE HOUSE OF CAPRICORN's infernal service. Manifested at the bottom of the world, Morning Star Rise is an unholy, antipodean hymn to a looming end, all in the blinding light of the Devil. Drawing from the rowdy darkness of BABYLON WHORES, the gloom of TYPE O NEGATIVE, and all kinds of scathing black metal, the record is a culmination of rich influences and pitch black aesthetics, all presented in lurching rock n roll form with honest, hellish intent.
Review
Nine songs of praise are played with deadly precision. These guys are masters of their instruments and the sound they have chosen is a perfect fit to the music... Morning Star Rise is unlike any other album out there and I think anyone into any form of heavy music should give this a listen, I know I will play this regularly. - The Sleeping Shaman 5/5
