The Murder Capital get apocalyptic on latest ‘Blindness’ single ‘The Fall’
It’s the Dublin-formed quintet’s first new music of 2025.
The Murder Capital have shared new track ‘The Fall’, the fourth single to be lifted from their upcoming third album ‘Blindness’ (which lands on 21st February).
Continuing in a similar vein to their recent cuts (‘Can’t Pretend To Know’, ‘Words Lost Meaning’, and ‘Love Of Country’), this latest offering is as moody and immediate as they come, its blistering guitars invoking the sense of impending doom.
Speaking on the song, frontman James McGovern has cryptically commented: “I can’t be told, I can’t be dressed, I can’t be held, I can’t be fed, I can’t be whipped. The Fall is coming. The Fall is inevitable. The Fall is one finger over the self destruct button, while the other holds its pose in meditation.”
Check it out for yourself and revisit our recent In The Studio interview with the band below.
