A long, long time coming, we are thrilled (and relieved) to finally announce that CAPSULE's debut album Blue is now available through the Robotic Empire Online Store! One of the weirdest/craziest/perplexing albums we've heard in years, CAPSULE are seriously playing some of the most fucked up hardcore out there. There was a very frustrating problem with the manufacturing of the CD portion of this 12"+CD combo that resulted in over a month's delay with this release... but new CDs have been pressed and this beast is finally available! Here's what we wrote about this mindboggling debut:
Wrapping one's head around what exactly CAPSULE is doing on their debut album Blue is damn-near impossible, as these three post-ADD maniacs have created one of the strangest heavy-music albums in years. This is a confounding conglomeration of blasting time-signatures, galloping punk spirit and a ghostly vocal chorus that buzzes through a mountain of guitar and bass. No other band sounds like Miami's trio CAPSULE, just as CAPSULE sounds like no other band.
Blurry, buried shouts in unison are surrounded by absolutely thunderous songs, played at speeds with every tempo in the "punk" and "metal" spectrums. Intricate melodies in bizarre tunings sneak their way into an overall unnerving amalgamation of genres, creating an anxiety-filled album of fevered beauty. Of course, this is coming from a label who writes release descriptions typically loaded with hyperbole, but we still say with full confidence that this is one of the most unique and interesting albums Robotic Empire has released to date.
Attempting to keep up with the packaging precedence set by Miami brethren TORCHE's "In Return" 10"+CD release, CAPSULE's Blue only comes as two formats together, with a deluxe gatefold jacket housing both a CD and 12" vinyl record. A high-gloss spot varnish accompanies this full color, die-cut gatefold jacket with printed black interior. The minimalistic design perfectly contrasts CAPSULE's varied creations on this simply stunning debut.
The pressing info for this mofo is as follows: (1505 copies total)
* 1000 on black
* 175 on cokebottle blue
* 175 on translucent dark blue
* 150 on clear/translucent blue with black splatter
Two tracks from this behemoth can be heard online here.

We also still have copies of the first in our limited t-shirt series. The "goodbye america" design is available in most sizes here. A new design will be coming in a few weeks, and we hope these continue to sell okay as we plan to keep releasing a new limited design every month for the rest of the year. Each shirt will only be made in a 1-time pressing of 50 shirts, all on American Apparel brand (so it's hella comfy and you'll actually want to wear it).
Thanks everyone, especially those patiently waiting for the CAPSULE album. Peace!
