Black Capricorn

Black Capricorn is a Sardinian doom/stoner metal duo known for their fuzzy riffs, hypnotic grooves, and occult-themed vibes. Formed in 2007 by bassist/vocalist Rachela and drummer Fabrizio, this Italian outfit crafts a potent blend of Sabbathian heaviness and psychedelic exploration, often channeling themes of ancient rituals and mysticism. Their sound – a lava flow of distorted bass, primal rhythms, and Rachela’s haunting vocals – has solidified their status as cult favorites in the European heavy underground.

With releases like *Cult of Black Friars*, *King of Shardana*, and *Cult Of Blood*, Black Capricorn leans into pagan imagery and lysergic soundscapes, earning them slots at niche festivals and a loyal following among doom devotees. Their work, including recent drops like *Ira Dei* and *A New Day Rising*, maintains a raw, analog-heavy production style that feels unearthed from a 1970s vault – perfect for listeners who like their riffs slow, smoky, and steeped in esoteric vibes.
