2024: The cosmic dimension of ''Primitivo Astral''

In 2024, Capsula released ''Primitivo Astral'', an album celebrating the band’s 25th anniversary and solidifying their place as one of the most innovative acts in contemporary rock. Recorded, mixed, and mastered at their own studio, Silver Recordings, in Bilbao, the album features cover art by Jaime Zuverza and explores a narrative that blends primal and cosmic elements, transporting the listener to a universe of monumental riffs, cosmic soundscapes, and lyrics filled with mysticism and raw emotion. The album’s title embodies the blend of the earthly and the cosmic, uniting heavy psych, post-punk, and stoner rock with a futuristic vision. According to Martín Guevara, "''Primitivo Astral'' is a journey where riffs are always the cornerstone of everything we do. It’s a fantastic journey, an inner voyage in the format of a cosmic comic strip, with few words that shift between languages as if they were beings from tiny planets observing and synthesizing." Coni Duchess describes the album as "a crossover between what feels ancient and what feels like science fiction, a constant balance between the familiar and the unknown." She further explains, "The context is the unreal, the intangible—the possibility of understanding our surroundings through the fantastic. Music has always been our way of exploring, but it’s also a reflection of our transformed reality." The songs were created with complete creative freedom, as the band had total control over the studio environment. This allowed them to experiment with textures and innovative dynamics. Martín notes, "We’ve learned to combine visual material, fantasy, and memory on the road—it’s part of our dynamic." Coni adds, "This album has a raw, direct energy and a special force."

Morse Code Release Announcement

Before the album’s release, the band surprised fans with an enigmatic announcement on social media.

''Ruta 66'' (Spain) praised the album’s ability to combine 70s rock influences with a contemporary and retro-futuristic perspective. The magazine described the album as "a delight from start to finish, where punk, glam, stoner, psychedelia, and rock’n’roll converge in a powerful mix." During a concert in Barcelona, they noted, "The spirit of heavy psychedelia hovered over the room with 'Arrow,' as Martín shredded like a man possessed."
