Swedish rockers CAPRICORN will release their new album, 'For The Restless', on March 25, 2022 via Wild Kingdom. Today, the band has unleashed the first single off the record, titled “The Searcher”.
Doffe Ekberg (lead singer) comments on the single:
"It was the last song to be recorded for the album, we had another one in mind but I had a very simple version of The Searcher demoed on my phone. We learned it and recorded it in a couple of hours. It felt amazing, a magic moment for sure."
