Just like its predecessor, 2019’s “The Siege”, the new album once again contains four very long song, which is not a coincidence, as bass player Claudio Botarro Neira points out: “It’s the way we have developed to tell the stories contained in our lyrics. If our songs are long, it’s because they have many different passages. We tend to see our songs in a sort of ‘cinematographical’ way, where the music has to provide the proper background to tell our tales.”
Consequently, “Where Gods Live And Men Die” has a very specific lyrical concept as well: “In a way, it’s the closing story to our two previous albums and our first EP. Again, it’s a solitary journey, but this time it’s the final chapter, a tale of departure. It deals with personal loss, wounds from the youth, disease and the need to overcome and transcend by willpower.”
Incorporating quite a few Bathory “Hammerheart” era and early Manowar influences, “Where Gods Live And Men Die” shows that CAPILLA ARDIENTE are way more than an orthodox epic doom metal band. Claudio comments: “I think that since the first EP, and due to the limitations brought by being just two musicians on a quest, we have been moving from a more traditional and in your face doom riffing style to a more epic/broad sound, which can be noted in the progression from the ‘Solve Et Coagula’ EP to the first album ‘Bravery, Truth And The Endless Darkness’. We have become better musicians, I guess. With ‘The Siege’, and as a five-piece band, I think CAPILLA ARDIENTE has finally found its own, unique style, which is quite evident on ‘Where Gods Live And Men Die’. And I don’t think our future songs will differ much more in terms of heavyness or complexity.”
