Capilla Ardiente - The Crimson Fortress


Whereas South America (first and foremost Brazil) has been very active in giving birth to great new bands, especially of the Thrash Metal variety, Doom has still pretty much stayed underground on the continent. So CAPILLA ARDIENTE from Chile could be seen as some kind of oddity.

The concept of CAPILLA ARDIENTE dates back to 2004 or 2005 and plays some traditional doom metal, where the main influences are CANDLEMASS and SOLITUDE AETURNUS. The album "The Siege" is an excellent doom album released in 2019 that spans 45 minutes divided into four tunes, with an average over 10 minutes songs full of ambitious songwriting and well-executed songs. Great mix in melodies and cool well thought riffs makes this album a joy to listen to. This is absolutely the best Doom album from Chile 2019 and it's one of many on my to-buy list.

"The Siege" is signed to High Roller Records, so it makes it pretty easy for us Europeans to access it.


CAPILLA ARDIENTE consists of:
C. Botarro Neira - Bass
F. Plaza Kutzbach - Vocals
F. Aguirre - Drums
J. Borquez - Lead Guitar
I. Leiva - Rythm Guitar

Today's tune "The Crimson Fortress" is taken from "The Siege", the clip is filmed live at "En vivo en MiBar en Santiago, Chile", enjoy!
