Capstan is on a mission to keep its listeners guessing. This Orlando, Florida-based band, comprised of Joseph Mabry, Anthony DeMario, Scott Fisher, Andrew Bozymowski, and Harrison Bormann, has always penned tracks that run the gamut, from deathcore and metalcore to soft, heart-gripping melodies reminiscent of Mayday Parade. And its new …

Back in 2009, Niels Arden Oplev (Flatliners – 2017) directed, what I think is, the superior film adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. No hate towards the American version, but Niels’ Swedish/Danish vision, starring Noomi Rapace is just… Damn, it’s so good. It’s because of how it is …

The mystery thriller, cloaked in grief, weaves its …
